Correction: at 12:50 I said that pure nitrogen is denser than air, but that isn't true. The specific gravity of nitrogen vs dry air at STP is ~0.97, meaning that it should rise slightly, but the difference (0.97 vs 1) is so small that there isn't a very noticeable effect. When air is flushed out of a flask by nitrogen, it would take a while, but it should eventually mix with the air out of the flask.

This is the first official video in my new amalgam series, where I try and combine as many different metals as possible with mercury.

For this video, I'll be making the sodium amalgam, which is commonly used in chemical reactions. It can also be used as a gateway to other amalgams, even some that are normally very hard to form.
