Well, you go try to open an old ampoule like this without smashing it. These didn't have an intended breaking point and had to be weakened with a saw or a dremel tool, like he does it here. This seldom works as intended, they are prone to crack completely in the process because the glass usually is way thicker than in breaking ampoules. But yes, it did look funny.
Your channel is criminally under viewed. Some of the best chemistry content on youtube. Thank you for all the time, effort, and money you put into these videos.
Why is this channel not more popular? On average people don't care about science, they just like to see fun reactions. So why doesn't this channel attract everybody?
wow, i don't think i've ever seen two solids react so quickly just in the presence of each other. i'm assuming it's the sublimated iodine vapors that get the reaction started, causing it to heat up and melt, at which point the reaction starts cascading forward? just a guess, but i'm not sure. but really interesting to see two solids immediately react this violently on contact. fascinating
Brilliant. Man, your English has come along a ton since the first time I saw you. All the best, I hope for a long and happy life for you and all your loved ones. Thank you for educating us a bit more.
Another excellent soundtrack choice, my favorite reaction was the one at 3:45 where the elemental iodine was released, relatively simple, still excitingly violent but not too energetic, and beautifully colorful. The shot you included of the iodine vapor exiting the top of the tube was very artful! (The red phosphorus slo-mo shot is tied with this for my favorite! And the one after it at around 7:20)
Great reactions! You are truly the best chemistry program running on any media form. I appreciate how much you managed to get done with quality before you even had the support enough for a budget even slightly worthy of your experiments. Such great production value, my friend. Keep it up.
buddy, you are BRAVE. love the videos of super acids and rocket fuel components, actually all are amazing and you teach me something every time.thanks.
science_and_anonymous Same! I have had...issues...obtaining certain reagents online before. It's great to be able to observe some of these rxns without needing to obtain the actual chemicals!!!

@@fft2020 yeah there is a ton of stuff you can find on eBay, I've got a rather decent stock of chemical goodies through them, and prices are usually great. I wouldn't exactly buy on eBay if I was doing something critical though, you don't really have any guarantees on purity since a lot of the chems are produced in China, but for general fuckery in the garage, perfect.

Wow, this channel get better every video! I really loved this one, especially the reaction with decaborane, iodine is a really cool element, i sublimized some this afternoon, anyway really impatient to see the next video!
Thank you! your close-ups of the reactions are superb. When I looked up stannic chloride, Wikipedia said: "… When a bar of tin is bent, the so-called tin cry can be heard as a result of sliding tin crystals reforming; this trait is shared by indium, cadmium, and frozen mercury." Tin is commonly used, but is not often seen in isolation. However, if you-or Cody, for that matter-have mercury and liquid nitrogen, it would make an excellent short vijayo.
Please do video with elements in not usual oxidation state. For example, ferrates. Also advice to try to get nickel carbonyl. Advice to show decomposition of bismuth oxalate - white powder turns to liquid metal
I would love to see some of these exotic compounds reacted with something mundane as a kind of baseline to show what they do to something everyone can access, perhaps some kind of delicious hazelnut spread? I love your work though :)
I was wondering, why the ICl3 was red. I made some quite a while ago by reacting iodine and chlorine, which gave beautiful yellow crystals. Nice video as usual!
I love the cool fumes and this channel is growing so quick, Congrats!, I was wondering if you could make a video on nitrogen triiodide , maybe even nitrogen trichloride that be cool keep up the great work
There is an old ClF3 vid kicking around on YT but it looks like it was recorded at 240 lines of resolution, in the dark and not in English. I'd love to see ChemicalForce take it on one day. HD!
My avi is mixed iodine chlorides from when I made this stuff. That was a fun experiment :) Most of these reactions were new to me though. Great video as always!
When it reacted with the LiBH it looked like a toxic piece of popcorn. But maybe I’m just hungry. Awesome content as always. And I definitely went straight to patreon and signed up. Cant wait for your videos to post
Really nice Video. I like the Reaction at 7:30. Colorfull Fire and violett Smokie is something you dont See every day. How about some reactions with OsO4 next?
@@guythat779 The thiosulphate ion in sodium thiosulphate reacts and reduces elemental iodine/bromine to iodide/bromine ions respectively which are colourless and significantly less visually appealing. Iodide/bromide/chloride ions are the preferred state when handling halogen waste. If the tedium of doing a couple of hundred Iodine clock reactions is ever forced upon you like it was upon me you'll learn all about it!
@@CATASTEROID934 I've done some lab work but halogens were probably considered dangerous for us so we didn't really interact with them Didn't stop me from almost gassing the class but thanks, now i kvote how to scrub away evidence
It's important to know what not to try and handle, just for self-preservation purposes. I honestly would like to be informed if I get within a mile of ClF3.
Lately I've been wondering if tin (IV) chloride could be used as a friedel-crafts catalyst. I feel like it would be easier to purify than the AlCl3 procedures on sciencemadness and chem player, seeing as it can be distilled rather than sublimated.
I don't think I have seen gold oxide thermite on youtube yet. One failed attempt at silver oxide. Probably need to be anhydrous. Rather cheaper are bismuth and cerium oxide.
There are two elements, which I would appriciate very much if I see. First one is Little Francium thrown in water, the other is (dont know its name other than) Ununpentium.
Have you emailed sigma, VWR, etc asking if they can offer some type of institutional or educational discount? You might want to start by asking who the sales representative in your area is and try to see if you can get a quick rapport with them. Or mention you be fine with purchasing soon to be excited chemicals at a discount. I've been surprised before regarding discounts I never thought they'd offer. And sometimes they'll price match even if the competitor's product is cheaper because it's substandard. Also, if a local rep knows what type of products you're looking for they might remember and contact you if something develops in the future. It's a long shot, but sometimes your local rep turns out to be someone who wants to help and you can save a little to a lot of money. Also, it might be possible to obtain expired chemicals from local companies who would otherwise have to pay money to a waste collector to dispose of hazardous materials rather than giving it to you for free, though regulations might make this difficult depending on region, company policy and fear of responsibility of litigation. I had a friend who got a rotovap and hplc + detectors for free because someone at the company told him it would be in the dumpster when they got rid of it. Never got the hplc running though, software is a whole other thing. Not saying you should be begging for scraps, love your videos so hopefully more money comes in!
I observe the reactions between simple chemical conections are most violent. Beyond them two this substantions, a little thebstraw and can make the fire.
"Must be very careful opening this hazardous chemical" Throws vial on ground busting open after dremel fails. Also ClF5/ClF3 are like the holy grail chems that would be 100k sub celebrations. Heck even F2 gas would be.
Can you please suggest me an alternative way to make slime. Which can be done at home. There are some videos on youtube using borax or starch but those are not that much helpful. Thank you. And really I love your channel. Just amazing 🙏
Is there any way to store it in the ampoule in such a way that it stays as the yellow solid without getting covered in elemental iodine? Or is there really no way to prevent that.
This channel must be very expensive to operate, given the amount of expensive chemicals you use and all that glassware that is destroyed in the process. It is really educational to be able to see these exotic compounds and how they react. I would like to see the properties of ozone and its compounds.
Depends really since more exotic substances tend not to get bought often and sit around aging until they've reached a level of impurity that renders them impractical to sell or use. Ozone's a bit of a weird one since it's too unstable to handle as liquid or solid (liquid and solid ozone has a tendency to spontaneously explode from what I'm told) but otherwise behaves like oxygen but much more angry
So, as much as I love explosions and fire and exotic reactions, what is the most inert substance known? Though I may be thinking of non-reactive....I know nothing about chemistry sorry.
ChemicalForce A small price to pay for entertainment, I guess ^_^ Keep up the good work! These oddities are honestly amazing and the quality of your videos is awesum!
