The Chlorine Machine

3:51 we all know Cody’s no “Bob Ross” when it comes to art but that’s a cracking picture of two wizards casting spells at each other!

If they ever find Cody dead it's going to take a whole team of scientists to figure out what the hell he was doing.

your diagram looks like two wizards battling

Finished drawing looks likes wizard casting a spell on another wizard.

This is the same process that the Clorox company once used to make their bletch

Bletch: Intentional mispronunciation of bleach in order to boost comment numbers. ;)

Cody's ventilation system: The whisper 5000

5:48 "as long as I keep it cool and go slow this should be relatively a simple task" immediatly afterwards "so I just broke 3 of these flasks" such a comedic cut lmao

Before watching video. "Ok cody what ridiculously dangerous thing are you going to do today."

Where can I buy this "Bletch"?

And in this episode Cody violates the Geneva convention.

Cody is ambidextrous because his handwriting is equally atrocious with either hand lmao. (Just teasing, love ya, Cody!)

When Cody says something is a bit concerning.........run.

So I've never liked the "Mad Scientist" stereotype because I think it gives scientists a bad name, but then I watch Cody's videos and I think no, Mad Science is a perfect label for this.

Hey Cody, since you have both caesium and gold lying around, you should try to make caesium auride. It would be a first on youtube.

oh my god, he made a concentrated solution of sodium chloride.... demonetized

0:50 witches 2:30 witches making potion for some satanic ritual

Teach us how to separate holy water from regular water

This is one of the top five coolest Cody’s lab videos. Many aspects of chemistry are exemplified here. I love it when he says “it shoooould work?”

You shouldn't need to worry about oxygen being generated when using a platinum electrode. While the theoretical voltage needed to generate oxygen (1.23 volts) is lower than that of chlorine (1.36 volts), on a platinum surface the evolution of oxygen is actually around 0.95 volts more than is thermodynamically required, compared to about 0.10 volts more for chlorine. This makes the overall potential required for generating chlorine 1.46 volts, and makes oxygen's 2.18 volts. Along with the fact that there are a LOT of chloride ions in solution to react with, this should mean that chlorine will be favoured for the anode reaction by a large margin. Unless you run the cell at a crazily high current density, or let the concentration of the chloride ion drop very low, there should be virtually no oxygen generated from the cell.
