My teacher promised us that he'll teach us to make rdx. That's why i didn't leave the school and stayed in the same school. But he says that we'll learn it in next term so I'm here.
@@ThatOneOddGuyhad the luck that exactly that teacher liked the ones who asked specific questions about drugs and explosives/poison. Told us why we cant sell oxidizers or precursors to private customers and if you asked he gladly explained all kinds of shady chemistry stuff😂he himself gave off the vibe of calm dude just waiting for his pension
Thanks for watching! The purpose of this video is the historic context of why the improved synthesis was so important to the outcome of WWII, so I'm hoping that's why the overlords keep it up. It feels silly to say, but DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME, FOLKS.
I am an Iranian in that part of the world and I like you and your words. My question is, what are the advantages of nitration with acetic anhydride compared to direct nitration with nitric acid? Acetic anhydride is expensive and the manufacturing process is difficult.
Okay so i had to rewind a few time just to further research some of the ingredients in which you spoke about in this video, as I'm not readily familiar with them, i have dabbled. My main passion is rockets though so i try to stay away from things meant to explode. Found this video by happenstance, I hope the rest of your videos are this engaging and possibly a little more technical in the processes of reactions (technicals "play nice together")...... In short, you have earned yourself a subscription!
It’s not as efficient as the method using Acetic Anhydride and correct me if I’m wrong, but couldn’t you extract the extra H2O content with a chemical desiccant such as calcium chloride then purify it through recrystallization?
Makes sense to me. Because its main purpose, as you noted, is water scavenging, I don't think there's anything particularly special about acetic anhydride that couldn't be feasibly accomplished with something else. Thanks for taking a look!
@@phdatliving Maintaining the acidic conditions? CaCl is going to evolve chlorine and push the solution toward neutral over time, I should think [but then, I'm no chemist. High school, and a little in college until I realized I had no talent for it, & that was a lifetime ago...]
The Bachman process is super water sensitive. Small amounts of water ruin yields exponentially which really sucks. Acetic anhydride is so difficult to come by unless make a certain lamp (I forgot the name of the lamp and chemical) which creates a ssuuuupppeerrr toxic gas that is a lot more lethal than hydrogen cyanide. So amateurs in the energetic chemistry community use the Bachman synthesis but struggle with yields haha.
@@scrappydoo7887 Meh those that are in that hobby have no ill intentions. It's the people who just want whatever can cause the most damage in the least amount of effort that trouble the world. Or if a hobbyist turns bad but I have heard of that happening only once. Btw it was a ketene lamp.
Hi, friend! This site has a good balanced combustion reaction for RDX if you're interested: www.chm.bris.ac.uk/webprojects2001/moorcraft/RDX_test.htm. HMX is nearly identical aside from the extra atoms. Percent yield is basically the amount of actual material you get from a reaction divided by the amount of theoretical material you should have gotten if the reaction went 100% to completion. If you got 2 g of material from your synthesis and should have gotten 4 g theoretically, your percent yield is 50%. Be careful about scraping filter paper into your weigh boat, though - we call those "yield enhancers!"
I tried it with 55% nothing, which means zero results, maybe 70% results with a very low efficiency, but you need to know that most of your acid first causes the formation of side products, and finally, with the increase in synthesis, we have water production, which is completely opposite to the formation of RDX
This is great material, but I feel like you are trying to hard to be something your not, like trying to be funny, I'm sorry you don't have that flare. Well done though, I subbed.
@@phdatliving you're too nice buddy, I thought your video and delivery were very good. (and your response to a unnecessary and stupid comment was even better)
See, if school would have been more like this I would have never missed a day

Yeah we are the only ones who like this stuff everyone else doesn't that's why we can't have the nice stuff
It kinda is, you just need to take Chemestry beyond 10th grade, and connect a few dots yourself.
Yeah but instead we're stuck learning about how men can actually get pregnant...

This is basically the exact way I do RDX in non industrial amounts at home. Great video!
Excuse me?

Congratulations on your entry into the federal watch list 😂😂😂😂
@jerometruitt2731 nah, I've been on those for YEARS now.
Good approach and solid radio voice! Cheers to 100K subs!
Mama always said I had a face for radio - good to hear the voice is on the same level. Cheers!
I wish my chemistry teacher was you! I'd have learnt something!
idk why ur vid still is on yt, cuz usually everything containing "rdx" and "synthesis" automatically goes down
anywak great videos. Keep it up

fascinating. As someone that works with the Bachman process today at Holston--great video. :)
The recovery of the acetic acid and its conversion into acetic anhydride after this process is worth a video.

@@Andrew-my1cp liking your own comments is not cool
@@scrappydoo7887 ?
Good explanation, and nice delivery! Subbed
my synthesis uses AN which i think prevents dilution of nitric acid or atleast slows it down a bit
What is the cheapest method of making acetic anhydride??
Can we found that in household stuffs??
🤔🤔🤔
What us role of Acetic anhydride?
George Hales grandson making him proud. Thanks for this, great explanation.
You could simply add sulferic acid to remove the water like all other nitrations
oof. im on a watchlist now.
SH proses you can do it,please say something about this ways
Well resumed,but you forgot the formation of HMX as by- product on the Canadian Ross&Schiessler process
Shhh, we can't give away all the secrets!!
I've made it via DADN process😃
@@phdatliving is HMX as a byproduct a problem at all?
Sir please explain hmx and rdx balancing reaction and %of yelid calculation

Hi...please call me on 9848205983
What chemicals components of HMX differs from rdx
Can anyone tell me if you can produce hexamine with just formaldehyde and ammonia?
可以的
yes i did it but it's very pointless and difficult i spread it on a tray for a week but it didn't dry and finally i had to use the oven
Great ! Thanks !
But what if nitric acid isn't concentrated? Can I make R D X with 55% nitric acid. Normal (original) sintesycs.
It might work somehow but it wouldn't be as nearly as powerful as 99,99 white fumed nitric acid
No

Bro you need more subs
Awesome!
Thanks!
well the phd is helping
do u earn on utube>?
Thanks. Without you I wouldn't have made all my c4.
How you made it?
Yeah shut up!!🤣🤣🤣
I'm new sub, I can't understand how I never found your channel till now.
KetoRDX would be easier to make and has more power
how to make ketoRDX?
Search for it i cant link Sciencemadness has an dowload methode B is the "easy" one.@@somkiatepheatongkaum2758
