The "kitty litter" in the Acros package is vermiculite, a form of expanded mica. It is very absorbent, has low reactivity and high heat tolerance, so it is often used for packaging reactive and/or pyrophoric chemicals.
I thought it looked similar, thanks for confirming! I believe it is also used in some forms of heat-proofing compounds, the type that is sprayed onto structural steel beams (obligatory "jet fuel can't melt vermiculite" comment 😁).
COCl₂, CO₂, HCl, H₂S, COS and H₂SO₄ as the fumes of CSCl₂. Looks great to me. Also, CSCl₂ + mosquito ---> mosquito carcass + CO₂ + HCl. Oh, and, can't forget, Ex&F wouldn't like pyridine + thiophosgene for obvious reasons.
Not going to lie, you really outdid yourself on presentation. Most people might say “look the sample went yellow!

That filler material in the can is called vermiculite, it's chemically related to asbestos and is a made of a mined material that is then heated, which makes it expand. It was widely used as ceiling insulation in older homes, it's a major PITA to do any ceiling/drywall work, the stuff falls down the back of your neck with every tap of a hammer lol.

The absolute madlad did it again. No wonder Derek Lowe has stopped his "Things I Won't Work with" blogs, he's probably in still recovering from watching one of your videos. From a chemist to a chemist, keep it up.
You are completely insane, but i love you for showing off such unique and exotic reagents! Question, how did you deal with the phosgene in your fumehood, was that safe to vent or was there some sort of scrubber?
The "special absorbent powder that resembles cats toilets" is expanded vermiculite. I don't know about the rest of the world, but in USA that stuff is well known to be contaminated with asbestos.
As far as I've been able to find out, this was vermiculite that came from a specific mine that closed in the 90s. Any new vermiculite is safe, it's just a concern for example if you find some vermiculate insulation in an old house.
Never fun when you have to tell a client that they're up for a huge bill, even if it has nothing to do with your part of the job. I've been in that situation as a technician/Electrical TA (Australian, we still have a hell of a lot of asbestos in old houses courtesy of James Hardie corp. selling it like wildfire in the 80's)
That mosquito added a lot of drama and showed off the dangerous nature of phosgene and sulfuric acid. If that wasn't deliberate, then you gotta give this guy an Oscar.
That last reaction between CSCl2 and liquid (anhydrous) NH3 - I'm trying to figure out 1) what the products might be; 2) why it is explosive. The 'scary' music while unpacking the reagent is funny :)
I might be remembering the name wrong, but I was doing engineering work for a large scale grain silo, tablets of phosgene was used as fumigation agent to kill the bugs and whatnot. Nasty stuff. There was a small spill in a semi-confined area, unaware workers inhaled a little (no mask) and got sick. Reason? The lazy bastard who was supposed to go on top of the silo to put some amount every once in a while while conveyors are filling it, decided to go and dump into conveyors before the grain elevators. There was an overload, elevators stalled, workers had to open the lids to empty it with shovels. To this day I hate that sob.
May have been instead something like aluminum phosphide, a solid, which decomposes via moisture into a similar-named gas called Phosphine (PH3). Phosgene (COCl2) is a gas itself, so it would not be in tablet form. Phosphine and phosphine releasers are used in fumigating grain.
You were using phosphine (PH3), also known as hydrogen phosphide or phosphorus trihydride, not phosgene (COCl2), also known as carbonic chloroanhydride or chloroformaldehyde. These are completely different gases. Phosgene is not used as a fumigant, but phosphine, although controversial due to many poisoning deaths, is a popular fumigant, especially for grain.
realy your vidéo are the best on the net wath about the How can I prepare di isothiocianate acetylenne and is there in the market YOUR BROTHER FROM ALGERIA
1:53 I’m pretty sure that it also gives off hydrogen sulfide and carbonyl sulfide according to the reaction CSCl2 (l) + 2H2O (l) = CO2 (g) + 2HCl (g) + H2S (g).
Is the splashing of the drops in the liquid ammonia reaction due to it reacting violently, or more due to the temperature of the thiophosgene drops causing the ammonia to boil off rapidly?
@8:50 Someone in the TH-cam library has been ripping off the Downton Abbey theme. I wonder what it's called. Upton Abbey? Downton Monastery? Blownton Blabbey?
Sulfur has always intrigued me in the fact 2, 4 or 6 bonds can be made to it. Strange element. I was just reading about *perchloromercaptan". Name like most old-school chemicals is incorrect Trichloromethyl thiohypochlorite IUPAC name. Awesome stuff.
thiohypochlorite? Is that a Cl connected to a S and it has a minus charge on the S? I guess trichloromethyl is CCl3 and there is a bond between the C and the S from ClS. IUPAC names are easier to understand.
@@louistournas120 That's a comprehensive understanding of the new system. I like both naming systems but am really starting to appreciate IUPAC. Yep it's non mercaptan no hydrogen on the S :)
Knew there would be some good stuff down here once I saw that mosquito get intimate with deadly deadly thiophosgene/phosgene/sulfuric acid. WAS NOT DISAPPOINT. GOOD SHOW CHAPS.
Where did you find the music? I feel like I've heard it before in maybe a video game or movie. Especially the parts at 4:20 to 5:35, 5:36 to 6:55 and 9:31 to the end.
@@thomasneal9291Thanks. Judging by the accent I assumed he was at a similar latitude. But this video could have been filmed months ago, so it doesn't really matter anyway.
I have smelled both phosgene and thiophosgene but I wonder about a time I was knocked for a loop while leak testing AC way back in the day. Is there a phosgene analogue that has almost no smell but has strong biological effects? Whatever it was sat me down on my butt in tears, chocking and spasming. It felt like my head would explode and I swallowed a cactus from one tiny whiff. I know that the breakdown of diclormethane can make phosgene but whatever this seemed worse, despite phosgene being a deadly neurotoxin with the proper dose. The color of the flame when flashed a deep purple right before it hit me, I was thinking perhaps a related oxime. Great vid. Love the color of the liquid though I know it smells horrible.
@@michaelbell8834 You can get phosgene from the breakdown of many things. The smell even if slightly detectable when you open a bottle of chloroform, has a sickly sweet sorta wet hay like smell. The stuff that hit me had no smell. I mean unless you count pain as a smell. Ergo I was wondering if it was some related chemical. The feeling and the smell tell me it is not the same but it could have been phosgene oxime.
I showed my Chem engineer buddy this he asked me to see if you can get PFIB perfluoroisobutene. Way more dangerous than phosgene. Fluorocarbon compounds are strange. Some inert, others deadly.
Hey , Mr.chemical force ... I don't think the skull and crossbones does the danger justice. Maybe add some fire or like " imminent Death" or something to spice up the thumbnail ;) You'res truly , from happily and safley behind my phone! ~Alchemicallife
Nice demo video. Some reactions seem a bit of. For the pyridine cleavage equation, you would need at least 1 eq. Of water. The violent "reaction" with liquid ammonia is more likely instant boiling because of the temperature difference. The reaction would otherwise be expected to decoulerize and precipitate colorless thiourea.
