I have been thinking of making my own pure sodium for entertainment purposes, and i have a few questions before i do so.

first and foremost, will the procedure below work?

Heat table salt to a high degree on a metal surface, then "electrify" it with x amount of volts.

question 2: if that procedure does work, how many volts should i use, or does it matter?

question 3: I have heard this will give off pure chlorine gas, is this true?

question 4: how reactive is pure sodium?

Yes, this will work.

No, I can't be arsed to work out a electrical parameters.

Yes, it will give off chlorine.

Sodium is a group 1 alkali earth metal. The order of reactivity goes:

Lithium->Sodium->Potassium->Rubidium->Cesium->Francium.

Sodium will fizz in water, maybe even catch on fire.

You are better off refining potassium. Maybe be from KOH pellets.

No I can't be bothered to tell you how.

The early days sodium was made my electrolysis of sodium hydroxide.

2 NaOH>>>electric current>>>>>> 2 Na + O2 + H2.

Sodium is reactive and will ignite when placed in water. 2Na+2H2O=H2+2NaOH.

My suggesting is use DC current low voltage and high amps.

low voltage high amps----your fucking with death in a major way--best of luck

Fucking with death? Please explain your logic.

This is childs play.

Right on...good to see Tryptamine roaming the lab tips again.

Just don't electrocute yourself and you will be fine. Other dangers are splatting molten NaOH. And hydrogen bubbles getting trapped and exploding.
