The precise date that the Australian Army asked "when is an explosive" was July 18, 1963.
It was called Operation Blowdown and it involved 50 short tons of TNT and a rainforest on the Cape York peninsula.

Or a nuclear reactor.
Was part of my job many years ago. Starting with 160 troy ounces in a reaction flask and converted to the fulminate as an intermediate to the final product. Had to make sure it didn’t get dry or the covering liquor get too alkaline. The first time I ran this process the guy who was training me said if it turns brown run and when it did he took off! I didn’t know what to do but when I stood fast he came back and clapped me on the shoulder and said you’ll do.

I remember I was making 50 years ago fulminating mercury in a simple way: You put in a test tube Hg and pure alcohol (99.9) to absorb the water produced, then you drop slowly concentrate HNO3 while cooling the test tube.It was produced a white crystallic powder. You wash it with alcohol and dry it.You finished.
Is utility alcohol nonreactive with surfactants?

@@sealpiercing8476 The Haber-Bosch process is only the synthesis of Ammonia, the Ostwald Process (oxidation of Ammonia to Nitric Acid) was developed to produce Nitrates and make Germany independent from Nitrates obtained from Guano "Chile-Salpeter" and was unfortunately a contributing factor to the length and severity of WW I.

The real question is: Can you make Fulminating Fulminate?
Bushhawk “exploding explosive”
How about ammonium fulminate? Or hydrazine fulminate?
+
@@TheBackyardChemist I don't think ammonium or hydrazinium would make stable fulminates... :P
K+ -CNO is known - potassium fulminate. Not that explosive since Hg-C bond is a weak covalent bond. K-C bond is a pure ionic bond, allowing for more stability.
@@californium-2526 Well, both ammonium cyanate and ammonium azide exist. As far as I know, ammonium azide is not that sensitive, comparable to sodium azide, and ammonium cyanate is not even really explosive at all. The hydrazinium compounds probably exist too, but I wouldn't want to be near the azide.
This intro is more effective than coffee, because I immediately emptied my bowels. Very funny shit the whole way through! Love the mic!

Really man, I'm a physics guy but secretly love chemistry. I love the language you use, nobody talks science in such lovably raunchy terms like you do. I fucking love it.
i've heard much about the allusive gold fulminate from Nile Red on the Safety Third podcast. It's nice to have an indepth history on the substance and to finally see the reaction!
I got an ad for tuna right when you started talking about mercury...

Interesting note about mercury fulminate; It was the original compound used in the primer caps for early firearm ammunition. It was used in this way as opposed to replacing gunpowder as the excessive explosive power made it impractical as a propellant but ideal for an ignition primer.
VERY GOOD information there .... thanks very interesting, useful as understanding history & firearms

So accurate. Relativity already feels wacky enough, but then you get into quantum mechanics and.......
Kylemsguy so I’ve only watched one online course on QM, and without like, doing any assignments (wasn’t enrolled, just watched the videos), but, honestly,
Is QM really all that weird? Like ok, sure, there’s the “how do we interpret measurements?” , but besides that, like,
from what I’ve seen so far of it, the math all makes sense?
I guess I’ll admit that spin seems kinda weird. But not that weird?
There were parts that were *impressive*,
but it isn’t so much “no fair, it shouldn’t work that way” and more “I didn’t expect that to simplify out or factor in that way”.
Maybe all the popsci I saw first made me sufficiently used to the entry-level weird parts that I no longer was bothered by them when I watched the actual classes?

In really wonder if that guy who "made" fulminating platinum, just fudged his results by adding other metal fulminates to it, or accidentally made an azide of sodium or potassium that inadvertently ended up in his final "culminating platinum"
Who knows, it could be the case, but it's strange to not be able to replicate it then anyway, because he gave pretty detailed steps.... But then again I was guessing at the meaning of most of the steps so anything could have easily gone wrong hm
@@ExplosionsAndFire It's fairly likely you misidentified one of the compounds in question. This has been brought up in the comments section of that vid, in that the "potash" mentioned was likely short for caustic potash, or potassium hydroxide. I think I managed to confirm that by looking at a couple of contemporary books that collected the known reactions for various metals, which recorded the reaction in different terms than Davy used, though I might be misremembering. By the by, I know those sources said that the acid used was plain old nitric acid, so it's possible that using red fuming nitric acid caused problems (or not, I'm not sure, I'm still a chem student).
While we're here, I might also want to mention (again) that the synthesis supposedly makes platinum sulfate at some stage, which hasn't been synthesized in modern laboratory conditions. There are recent-ish theoretical chemistry papers speculating on the properties of the compound. The paper exclusively uses the formula Pt(SO4), rather than "platinum sulfate", and thus only comes up when you search for the chemical formula. So even if you can't replicate the entire process, you could still be making something worthy of a paper with this procedure.
@@ExplosionsAndFire should come back to that couple of years later as with S4N4 and have another episode dedicated to Personal Growth ™
@@ExplosionsAndFire I remember seeing you respond to the poster who detailed the classical definition of potash but never following up with another attempt using the knowledge gained. For shame Tom.

That's beautiful

..... OMG .....
8:21 mmmm myes pet the silver nitride
Silver fulminate is used in those snap pop kids play with. It's sensitive stuff. Basically if you open it up, it's a bunch of pebbles with a tiny amount of silver fulminate. Even just sifting through it will cause it to go off. I have no idea how they even manufacture the stuff. I mean all those toy contact explosives are dangerous as hell to manufacture because they often involve stuff like armstrong's mix and the like.
I came here for the laughs and the rants on yellow- I stayed for the learning. Man, good video.
Agreed. The man's a fun chemistry teacher now
What's with the Melbourne Bitter on the speaker. You need to store dangerous chemicals better than that...
Something that I find interesting about the "Gold sulfur" is that sulfur was considered to be one of the elements of the "Tria Prima", or a set of elements which is different from the... other set of elements that they also used. The other two members were mercury and table salt, and part of the reasons they thought they could turn base metals into gold was because every metal was some mixture of mercury and sulfur.
It's entirely possible that they thought this experiment was, in a sense, pulling the sulfur from the gold and using that to create an explosive. Makes me wonder where they thought the mercury went? And what did they think was happening when they tried mercury fulminate?
That fulminating silver has got to be one of the angriest explosives I've seen, jesus.
I suck at chemistry, but adore your memes/editing, and am starting to think that these videos are an insight into what a typical Australian class is like.
