No Borek, what you say is not quite exact. Oil is not a "good" conductor this is the exact meaning of what you say.In fact oil is a very weak conductor but it is.

What if I would use another liquid instead of water, let's say oil. Na and oil will not react but oil conduct electricity, this means I solve the dangerous part of reaction too. Am i right?

Thanks Borek, What about the following method: " Just take a lithium battery remove the 1 foot long strip of lithium metal from inside it...you have to open it and becareful not to let the strip of lithium and the strip of iron sulfide touch or eles you get a lot of heat and the lithium...

Yup that would be a problem(keeping the Na away from the water during the electrolysis process). But what I thought is to put the NaOH in a plastic bag and this bag in a jar with water, and after that to start the process(I want to put the cathode in the bag) and anode in the jar in water)...

alxm i don't see where is the dangerous/illegal activity in what I'm saying. Na it is not a precursor and it is not used in creating drugs or explosive, so this means that you consider my method as being dangerous. Please tell me why? Also guys, please tell me others ideas of getting Na...

In my country you can't buy it, only if you are a chemist or a chemistry teacher. So the only way is to produce it. So the NaOH is cheap an available.

Hello, I need to get around 100g of pure Na but this metal is not available, or I don't know where to find it. My idee is to take NaOH and using electrolyze process to get the Na. Basically I what to put put NaOH in a jar filled with water and then to start the electrolyze. What do you...

Thanks for your answer Minerva, but i didn't understood this proposition: "In an aqueous solution, though, the reaction between the acid and the potassium will compete with the reaction between the water and the potassium." You say that there is an aqueous solution of HCN? Supposing it...

hello, I would like to know if following reactions are possible/correct and under what condition: 2NaOH+K->KOH+NaOH and HCN+K->KCN+H Theoretically it should be possible but I'm not sure,Please help me understand Thanks
