and once you're done with any reaction, you must drink a little bit of the product. A taste test is always very reliable to check if you've made the right stuff
The more I see of these videos, the more convinced I am that when Elias was a kid and people asked what he wanted to be when he grew up, he went "a mad scientist," and 100% meant it, hahaha
@Kanal ohne Namen oof i didn’t know that because im in the us, but that kinda sucks that its illegal. i had the cops called on me for buying a road flare and an oxygen tank in the same purchase though 😂
What a great video! Thank you a lot for the awesome day! I am really looking forward to making more videos with you! The demonstration with the concentrated sulfuric acid was great. It just shows how corrosive chlorosulfonic acid really is.
Extreme chemistry like this is scary. I can’t believe there’s people out there who’ve attacked others with acids, that’s horrible and not to mention the chemical type weapons from ww1 etc…
Yes I fully agree with you. But luckily ordinary weapons are far more effective at harming people then chemical weapons, so I am not too worried about that.
@@EliasExperimentsThat's not really true. Chemical weapons are just harder to make, more difficult to weaponize, and have a huge potential for collateral damage. But a couple of tons of finely dispersed sarin agent spread over a densly populated area can easily kill tens, if not hundreds of thousands of unprepared civilians. This is the same order of magnitude of damage as a nuclear weapon.
@@lagrangiankid378 Just because something has the potential to kill that many people certainly doesn't mean it will. I am absolutely sure, that nuclear weapons are far more deadly then sarin. It is also very difficult to finely disperse saring over a larger area.
Reaction with hydrogen peroxide is used to produce peroxydisulfuric acid ("persulfuric acid") and peroxydisulfates. These are used as oxidizing agents and for initiating free radical polymerization, for example to produce polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon).
Back in the 1970's I worked in a chemical pilot plant which is a scaled-up laboratory, so we got sizeable shipments of all kinds of interesting chemicals, one of which was fluorosulfonic acid. I filled a few small bottles of it and dropped them off a railroad trestle into the river below to watch them explode. Another time I reacted nitric acid with iodine crystals to create nitrogen triiodide, which is a contact explosive. I then smeared little bits of it on the steps leading into a local bar and grabbed a pitcher of beer with my friends. It was amusing to hear the little bangs as people stepped on it. I could have made trinitrotoluene (TNT) but chickened out. I also got a five-gallon can of reagent-grade ethyl alcohol which took years to consume - also made a great carburetor cleaner.
Wow dropping fluorosulfonic acid into a river sounds quite crazy. Can the people still hear, that stepped on you NI3? As far as I know it is really loud. And drinking pure ethanol just sounds like a nightmare to me lol.
My high school chemistry teacher would stick some tape containing wet Nitrogen triiodide onto the bottom of some of his student's chairs between classes so that it would dry out and explode when they arrived and pulled their chair out haha. Apparently it doesn't make any shrapnel so it's safe to scare your students with :P
@@EliasExperiments May I ask, if you had any irritation or slight burns after dripping the sulfuric acid on your hand? Did you feel anything when it got on your hand? like it probably got warm as it reacted with the water right?
Yes it got warm and because I did not wipe it off properly it got quite hot when washing it off, causing the skin on the surface of my fingers to dry out. It did not hurt though, it was just a minor inconvinience.
@@EliasExperiments Damn! it takes courage to pour such a strong acid onto your skin! You are the first person on youtube I have ever seen to do something like that, very cool video, and thanks for replying to me!
@@TheObnoxiousSquirrel When I was a teenager in secondary science class I took a sniff of a big jar of acetic acid. I never made the mistake of putting my nose to a jar of chemicals in a lab again... ouch lol
Dude I hope you're working with a respirator On. The Chlorine fumes from chlorosulfonic acids are kind of deadly and I am concerned seeing them so close to you
No respirator is needed in these amounts out in the open. While the HCl and H2SO4 fumes released are quite toxic to your lungs, they are so irritating that you warned a lot earlier before they become dangerous.
So was the sulfuric acid only benign to your skin due to the extremely brief exposure? I'm assuming it's not totally innocuous to come into contact with, generally speaking...?
Room temperature concentrated (98%) sulfuric acid will take a while to react witn intact skin, and it won't do any damage if washed quicky. In a minute or so it will start to burn and your hand will be very dry for a couple of days, after several minutes of exposure it will give you some nasty chemical burns. At high temperatures, like at boiling (337°C) it will char your flesh in a couple of seconds and put a hole right through your hand.
the handling of this amount of n butyllithium in this bucket alone is complete insanity, let alone dumping this then into the acid 💀💀 Great video, this amount of unsafety should be rewarded with many more subscribers!! keep going
ah, another one of those fuming acids! its surprising how many acids and bases exist outside of the ones commonly known. but yikes that stuff is scary! and it reacts with water to form 2 other strong acids too! cool experiment :)
thionyl chloride and fuming sulfuric acid are also very caustic. In fact, there are lots of extremely caustic agents which will cause all kinds of grief when applied to your skin, or if you breathe it in
@@EliasExperiments To tell you the truth, the stuff that scares me the most is Hydrofluoric acid, or HF. It goes on like water, you do not feel a thing, then minutes later, it starts dissolving tissue and bone!
Avoiding in the first place spills and contamination is much more important than wearing gloves. Most chemists in history did all their research bare handed. Lab gloves are a modern invention.
@@EliasExperimentsTrue, but a lot of fume hoods have some degree of filtering and gas scrubbing in place, even when exhausting on the outside, especially when designed to be used with particularly dangerous chemicals.
"Did it get in your eyes? If so we have some sodium hydroxide" Oh noooooo lol, just water for chemicals in the eyes please! I'm sure you know that but someone tell the other guy
I have safety concerns. I called the fact you were gonna blow up something when you were just chucking in lime and then dumping water on top assuming the acid was neutralised without checking. It's a cool video but less cool when you take into account you're involving other people
This is a great video! but the editing at the. first part of the video where you were showing how it dissolves various things with terrible dot. dot, dot. In fact, I think it deserves a reedit, You don't cut into the video skipping forward when you're showing how quickly. this suppress it dissolves various objects. You need to let us sit through the full process except for maybe the Coke model that takes 7 minutes or whatever. You showed the insertion of the object, and then cut forward to a couple of seconds of it. Reacting violently, which was such a disappointment! Other than that, it was a fantastic video, Great job guys!
Thank you for the kind feedback. I agree the editing deserves some improvements, but watching the acid attack stuff for too long is probably boring for many people. But there is probably a better middle way. Once I have time at the end of the year I will give it some more thought.
Rule one is always make sure to inhale the gas coming from a chemical reaction, that's how you get super powers.
Yeah that is a great idea!
and once you're done with any reaction, you must drink a little bit of the product. A taste test is always very reliable to check if you've made the right stuff
🤣

Well I usually say "I don't know", but what you are saying is probably more true lol.
It´s been a pleasure making this video with you guys!
Likewise! Hope we can do it again in the future!
@@EliasExperiments I hope so too. It´s been a lot of fun

We'll see about that. Thank you!
@6:51 famous last words. Super cool reaction!!!! and the camera was placed perfectly lol - shot right at it!
Haha
Bro pouring concentrated h2so4 on your hand is actually so crazy bro haha, great video!
Definetly not recommend to do yourself ;-) Thank you!
@@EliasExperiments Don't worry, I will definetely never do it :)

Yes indeed. Thank you for watching!
sheesh, seeing the acids fuming like that is scary
It certainly is. And working with them is even scarier :D
i've smelled hcl before, and it is suffocating. you cant even take a breath because it burns the interior of your nose. It's awful
@@TheObnoxiousSquirrel When I was a teenager in secondary science class I took a sniff of a big jar of acetic acid. I never made the mistake of putting my nose to a jar of chemicals in a lab again... ouch lol
last reaction was totally unexpected
And dangerous lol.
You deserve 10X the subs for this video alone
Thank you! :-)

Don't look up the reaction of chlorine gas and sodium metal, you will never touch table salt again
Now this is chemistry! Screw all the damn equations and number crunching bs. This is chemistry in its purest form
Thank you for the kind feedback ;-)
So was the sulfuric acid only benign to your skin due to the extremely brief exposure? I'm assuming it's not totally innocuous to come into contact with, generally speaking...?
It is certainly a bad idea to pour sulfuric acid on your skin, but a brief expourse doesn't really harm you at all.
@@EliasExperimentsIt works well, when it is cold outside….
Room temperature concentrated (98%) sulfuric acid will take a while to react witn intact skin, and it won't do any damage if washed quicky.

Ah wonderful, TAR!
Yeah who doesn't love that? :D
maybe the reaction with n-butyllithium wasn't as violent as the reaction with sodium hydroxide in water because the n-butyllithium was in hexane?
That is probably one important factor ;-)
I'm really enjoying all of your videos. Thank you for all the hard work
I am glad to hear that. Thank you for the kind words!
Here before the channel goes viral 😎
Haha who knows. :D
"Eyes?... If so... NaOH...". lol
Lol that would be the opposite extreme :D
What about the disposal of the reaction product ?
They can easily be neutralized with limestone or soda.
the handling of this amount of n butyllithium in this bucket alone is complete insanity, let alone dumping this then into the acid 💀💀
Great video, this amount of unsafety should be rewarded with many more subscribers!! keep going

I love this.

Yeah this is definetly not something to play with.
Wait what, sulphuric acid does not dehydrate your skin ????????????
It does, but at room temperature it is so slow, that you don't really have to worry about it, if you wash it of shortly after exposure.
thionyl chloride and fuming sulfuric acid are also very caustic. In fact, there are lots of extremely caustic agents which will cause all kinds of grief when applied to your skin, or if you breathe it in
Yeah we really don't want to do that :D
@@EliasExperiments To tell you the truth, the stuff that scares me the most is Hydrofluoric acid, or HF. It goes on like water, you do not feel a thing, then minutes later, it starts dissolving tissue and bone!
@@krwadait really depends on the concentration, if it is very diluted it is not that nasty.
@5:27 LOL
Haha
Super important scientific question: What does it taste like?
I guess very painful.
It tastes like burning
Well.. at first thought it would technically taste very sour, but at second, it would destroy the taste buds before it could be processed
if you hear: lauf bruda!, lauf!, you are in west germany... 🤣🤣🤣
Well yes, but you can just call it germany lol
1:39 wearing useless gloves anyway?
I can only say that it wasn't me. :P
Avoiding in the first place spills and contamination is much more important than wearing gloves. Most chemists in history did all their research bare handed. Lab gloves are a modern invention.
Tripping on this acid .....
Would be kinda difficult :D
Amazing 👏
Thanks!
6:56 Is it possible to put that reaction in a rocket? I think that will help with its speed.
There are far less corrosive and more efficient rocket fuels, so I don't think this is a good idea.
Remember, if you get super acid on your skin, use Sodium Hydride the neutralize the acid! You will get a cool new tattoo!
Bad idea
@@EliasExperimentshe's joking
the air: nature's fume hood
Well almost every fume hood just blows everything into the air. :D
@@EliasExperimentsTrue, but a lot of fume hoods have some degree of filtering and gas scrubbing in place, even when exhausting on the outside, especially when designed to be used with particularly dangerous chemicals.
When you hear about acid attacks in places like England… THIS is what they’re referring to.

Oh noooooo lol, just water for chemicals in the eyes please! I'm sure you know that but someone tell the other guy
Haha! That was a joke of course. He knew that too haha.
Then you'd have to put some more acid to neutralize the base and you'd be stuck in an infinite cycle.
