"This SUPERACID Will Dissolve Anything!"
Superacid: you can"t defeat me
Anything: I know but he can
The Bottle That Contains The Superacid:
Criminally underrated
The plate as well
I guess he missed out almost...
@Großer Medizinmann not the issue, it clearly says anything.
Yeah you need a strong base to eat glass, rather interesting but basically the glass is already in a very stable oxidized state, you need something reducing to react with it (to my understanding, but I'm no chemist so I could certainly be way off). That's why the strong base must be contained in a stable reduced container, like a completely reduced metal.
Your accent makes chemistry interesting
I have to admit I came for the accent and stayed for the content.
I feel the same
Cheverything is passible
His accent is legend 👍
He's gonna be awesome when he gets old, lol. He should be on the Science Channel, teamed up with Anton Petrov.
I am severely under the impression that this man is being dubbed.
Thought i was going crazy
It is true, he is being dubbed
His main channel is russian, so when he dubs them for his English channel he doesn't bother to redo all of the sections where he speaks to the camera
Lol I had already removed my cookies because I thought my youtube bugged out.
Same
The superacid: "I can destroy anything touches me."
The pipette and glass containers: "don't talk to us, we're invisible"
Glass is pretty hearty
"Have you seen J'ksar around here anywhere?". . .
Ain't that teflon glass?
They are getting dissolved, just very slowly

People: Super acid dissolves anything !
The Bottle it's in: Keep pretending you don't see me.
The bottles are only guaranteed for 20 days storage. After that, ya the bottle and said acid are both a goopy mess in your chem storage, and you might need to also get a new chem storage lol
@@Marco-nr4wy oh ya it does. Glass is the only container to store it in properly, it doesn't oxidize.
PTFE will oxidize over time.
@@BamaPigBows fluroantimonic acid can only be stored in teflon bottles..it can even dissolve glass
For concetrated Nitric or Sulfuric acid my collegues and I never use gloves. You can immediately tell when you get it on your skin and if you wash it away in the next Minute nothing will happen at all. Nitric acid will only stain your skin yellow, which goes away after a few days. However with gloves fuming nitric acid will make them catch fire and gloves burned into your hand are probably way worse, than having yellow skin for a few days. Also with gloves you cant really tell if you got anything on them, so it easily happens, that you touch other things with it and contaminate it. The only acids that I use gloves for are superacids, oleum und strongly toxic ones like Hydrofluoric acid.
I don't agree with you. I accidentally splashed a tiny drop of concentrated sulfuric acid on my face. It burned my skin immediately. Luckily it was very tiny drop. 🙄
@@saifmohammed2977 Facial skin is a whole different story, as it is way thinner and more sensitive. Face and eyes should be protected at all costs! However other skin is way more resistant, especially the skin on the hands is very thick. There is also a video of the effects of different acids on the hand, I think it was by nile red. Definately something worth to check out.
@Chemify Definitely agree with you. Spilling concentrated nitric acid on your hands isn't that bad, just the tell-tale yellow stain that lasts for a while. Spilling concentrated sulfuric acid on your hand is more painful, you don't notice immediately but then it starts to sting a lot. Best to then immediately wash it away from your hands with a copious flow of water. I would be more worried about getting a drop in the eye, but concentrated base (NaOH or KOH) solutions are even worse in that case. Saponifying skin tissue isn't that bad if you rinse it off well, but saponifying eye tissue, that's more worrysome.
HF is pretty scary, I stay the hell away from that stuff. A chemical burn is one thing, unstoppable necrosis is a whole other league
@@xxportalxx. True HF is 'mother of Satan' tier. I've only handled fluoboric acid, it has some use for glass etching (and apparently aluminium etching as well). Still I prefer to stay away from both. And I'm not the kind that is easily scared by hazardous chemicals.
I like that you're showing your face now. I remember when you didn't even like showing your hands! 👍
The strongest acid I ever had, had me seeing colors changing everywhere and talking to my door.
Shouldn't you be out smoking behind the gymnasium while the rest of us fume in the hood?
Which was ?? I have large amounts of high grade iridium ore . Tested on an XRF machine to average 70+% . I need to separate it from the other metals and precipitate it out for melting and sale .

I'm so glad you're doing science and you're still alive.
I feared that you immediately went over to fluoroantimonic acid, but sanity prevails, thankfully.
I need to read why. I honestly thought flouroantimonic acid was the worst stuff
c'mon lets see some fluoroantimonic !

Same here.... what's an acid?
14:28 your transition from super acid to a jar of pickles made me jump when it looked like you'd drink it.
I want to try some of that spicy chicken
Amazing demonstrations and very well narrated. Excellent video.
3:05 "the contents of that is similar to human polymer. by the way, human is one of the main components of soil."
Wait this must surely be a case of misheard lyrics, no? Im so confused. xD
It is humin polymer, not human
Got caught by this one too, for a second :D
@@Thoisoi2 thank you for explaining 😊
Yeah I had to think this one over two times as well.
@@Thoisoi2 please show Pollonium to us
I must agree, you do perfect videos about chemistry. I am not big fan of chemistry but definitely I like your videos.
He sounds like a mad scientist from the USSR who works on nuclear weapons
Two things:
1.Voiceover makes this the old-school kung-fu movies of chemistry TH-cam.
2. I’ve never heard of chlorosulfonic acid (Different name for something I do recognize?), so 3:49 is a kind of knowledge/ignorance singularity. I can’t predict what’s next.
This channel is dope.
Chlorosulfonic acid is another name for chlorosulfuric acid. You might want to do your research before you start bashing the channel, which produces great videos. Your voiceover sensibilities are inconsequential.
@@besimatalay7839 I just complimented the channel, bloke.
Very interesting! I love to see chemistry that is rare because it is something i could never experience otherwise. Very very good!
What an amazing video, it really gets you interested in chemistry, it makes you want to know more....I hope I have watched your channel since I was still in highschool. The high complexity of chemistry really discouraged me to study it back then, so I think knowing the interesting side from your video would really be a huge motivation...
I'll just try to recommend Thoisoi's channel to my cousins who are currently in highschool xD
I love the apature science music in the beginning
Thanks for video! As always very interesting. Greetings from Poland!
Omg I love all of your videos. Especially your accent is absolutely perfect and your English is just right to be intelligible enough but it kinda cracks me up because it's dubbed over but your passion for getting in depth information and performing experiments for us is is why your my favorite video content provider
I first heard of fluorosulfuric acid from the SciShow video on the strongest acids, but now I understand. It is crazy how destructive it is. Thank you for the practical example!
That Portal radio song in the beginning
I think this guy is working for aperture science
This guy sounds like medic from tf2
10:22 "Properties of this plastic are similar to those of well known teflon, which practically doesn't react with any chemical"
Sodium metal dissolved in liquefied ammonia has entered the chat.
@MichaelKingsfordGray sodium metal dissolved in liquefied ammonia is cowardly?
Really enjoyed this channel, I hated chemistry at school but you make it interesting
I have worked with Fluosulfonic acid in a chemical plant. We used it to make Refrigerant 152A on occasion. Very dangerous stuff and it was aggressive on the high nickel alloy reactor as well.
The reason the water reacts with more vigor on the aluminum and other metals is the reaction is highly sensitive to the temperature of the reactants. Adding water to sulfuric acid or any of the other super acids is the heat of solution on those are extremely high. With that, the temperature of the acid is elevated due to the added heat of the solution in water, causing the otherwise slow reaction at room temperature to get rather violent. Similar to the big reaction you get dropping water into pure sulfuric acid. Only now, you have an added chemical, the aluminum or magnesium, as a reactant that only needed to get over the initial heat required to start, and from there it is generating the rest of the heat to finish consuming the metals.
Nice content. I will be watching often.
Oh shit he's getting into the floro acids! Crazy! Love it!
I love the way he said hydrogen monoxide (water)😂
Very nicely made and interesting. Thank you for posting!
These videos are such a treat! And so is end kitty!
@Thoisoi The Portal music haha, nice one :) that made me feel great :D
Nice demonstration 👌🏼. You made chemistry look interesting by combining both the theory and practical exps, & not dull with just the chemical equations.
Even threw in a very strong base to check it out. I kind of hope you can continue examining in applications of superacids, like filming under structured monochromatic light to etch a grating with the acids, or taking care to restrict the availability of water, to run an 'offhand' alkalai loop process in organic chemicals (but without dioxins, please) or hBN or for careful ligation of black phosphorous, or run a bottom-up synthesis of graphene (maybe from lignin.)
The paraffin is pretty protonated, so it makes sense you might see an ompoulung reaction hydroxylating it instead, air permitting.
Great video, keep it up ! ❤️
Nice video! I'm glad that you're back with your "Chemistry class". I'd like to see how react the different kind of Phosphoric acids (from the Orthophosphorous acid to the Pyrophosphoric acid). Greetings from Argentina. 👍
Great I'm going to show that when we look at the element phosphorus next.
love the Polish "Kwas Siarkowy" haha
Greetings from Poland
Yes greetings from Poland haha
It blows my mind how perfectly the closed captioning transcribed this video
I love how much vocabulary he uses, Caustic, Polymer, cellulose etc... crazy researcher
Science is back🔥
chemistry is amazing
👍🏻
Love you videos. So much awesome stuff!!!
Great video. Keep the good work!
I wish you all a great weekend and stay safe!
Thanks same to you
The terrifying thing is how chemically similar all of the acids shown in this video are, with only a one atom difference
What is so terrifying about it? You are literally made of sulfuric acid without sulfur.
@@Zyczu55 well, you're literally made of phosphoric acid that was reacted into a salt...
Phospholipid membranes and just for evolutionary entertainment, DNA's phosphorus backbone.
thats literally how chemistry works, tiny changes in the structure can cause massive changes in the properties, just look at atoms, it just takes one proton to change to a completely different element.
@@harrietjameson the number of protons determines the element, the number of neutrons determines its radiological stability, the excess or dearth of electrons, its chemical reactivity.
But, rare is chemical compounds with nitrogen, for there one can have inorganic compounds, components of proteins and hence, life or high explosives and pretty much everything in between.
Then, because the universe isn't complicated enough, elements can present in different allotropes. Pure element, in entirely different configurations that behave differently chemically and physically. Phosphorus, with its various, rather unpleasant allotropes, but absolutely necessary for life, carbon with its allotropes that can drive one to near-distraction, even hydrogen at different temperatures and pressures. All make the universe vastly more complex - complex enough for life to exit.
Complex enough that what is, in uncontrolled exposure, lethal poisons like hydrogen sulfide and nitric oxide, to name but two of many compounds are also used in traces as intracellular signalling molecules.
Complexity is cool!
I always hated chemistry but your videos have made me so much attracted toward the subject.
Your channel is EXCELLENT!!!
His accent seems more dangerous than the Acid.
I found you agent 47 why do you left all game after last mission 😂😂😂
3:46 Merck: "Chlorosulfonic acid(contains Chlorosulfonic acid)"
Well thanks for telling me Merck, otherwise I wouldn't have thought, that chlorosulfonic acid might contain chlorosulfonic acid😂
I blame the law regarding dangerous chemicals. By the way, if one of them gets dissolved, you still got your label ;)
Chloro sulfonic(contains chloro sulphonic acid)
Its like a package of smoked salmon i had.
Ingredients: Salmon, Salt, brown sugar, spices
Warning: Product contains fish
Well, i should hope smoked salmon contains fish.. i mean it IS a fish after all.
Oh and it should go without saying, but don't eat it if your allergic to fish.
American labeling laws are crazy sometimes.
@@keithyinger3326 thats crazy! I'm glad here in Europe it's not this crazy. I'm allergic to a lot of stuff myself, but if you don't know salmon contains fish, than it's just stupidity and not the fault of the manufacturer. When I was in the supermarket in Canada or America(can't remember in which country it was exactly) they had an isle of peanuts with their shell on with a sign Standing in front saying "Contains peanuts"😂
@@keithyinger3326 Well, I can imagine that someone may not know that salmon is a fish, but that person would possibly be an exception
Very interesting video. I really appreciate that you take risks to inform us so we don't have to.
The *Hammett acidity scale* (or as Wikipedia calls it, the "Hammett acidity function") is the thing that extends pH into the negative numbers. Kinda like how "warp 13" is not actually faster than infinite speed.
Nice try :D
Haha, have used Fluoroantimonic Acid makes these acids feels like water.
Hey! It's another chemistry channel i watch! Yay
A lot of acids get strong when you mix them with water due to formation of H3O+ ions. Even conc nitric reacts slowly with Al, but mix it with water then the reaction goes a lot faster.
that's not actually true. Strong acids in a water solution are "leveled" to the strength of the H3O+ ion, which is a weaker acid than those strong acids, although it's still strong. Which is why dilute solutions of strong acids like nitric, sulfuric, hydrochloric etc are about the same strength. The reason some metals don't react with concentrated acids is because of the formation of a passivation layer, which is usually an oxide. This layer is unreactive towards the conc acid because it doesn't dissolve in it, but adding water makes it so it can dissolve, thus allowing the acid to attack the metal further.
@@SMPKarma to be a pedant - partially correct. This is why aqua regia is great at dissolving most things - the nitric oxidises, the chloride chelates - and strips away the passivation layer. Any fuming in air is due to reaction with atmospheric moisture.
@@lolroflpmsl being a pedant right back! As far as I know, aqua regia works due to an equilibrium shift (Le Chatelier principle). As you said, nitric acid oxidizes, but the equilibrium is heavily shifted towards the reactants. As you said, chloride ions form the tetrachloroaurate complex - thereby they shift the equilibrium by "taking away" the free Au3+ ions, the product of the first reaction, driving the reaction forward. As far as I know, there is no oxide involved, at least not in a way hydrochloric acid would help mitigate.
Caustic is usually used for describing alkalis, while corrosive is for acids, they can be swapped but it just sounds strange saying acid is casutic
Really good - thank you 👍
Awesome! Your videos made me interested in chemistry!

His videos are more informative than our Chemistry classes
Great video. Modern chemistry is quite mind blowing.
Hello Thoisoi,nice video.
Thank you for this very interesting demo. It was also good to see you talk about the dangers and damage such acids can do to the skin. In my video demonstration of showing what 98%sulphuric acid can do to the skin I was accused by some uneducated rude 'flat earthers' of using something different. So many amateurs out there don't read round their subject and treat chemicals with little respect for theirs or others health or safety. As I tried in vain to explain to so many. Good to hear you mention protonation which I think so many don't understand. Keep up the good work and please do subscribe and colab with me. 😊
safety in chemistry is very important, which means it's important to understand how substances *actually* react with, for example, the skin. It's necessary so that one knows what course of action to take should they spill some on themselves, and how much time they have to get it off. For example, strong acids such as hydrochloric, sulfuric, nitric don't actually start damaging skin right away. You have around 20-30 seconds before something serious starts happening. That's important to know because it means there is no reason to panic - you have plenty of time to wash it off if you're working close to a sink.
also, as shown in this video, some acids actually react with gloves typically used in the lab. Sulfuric acid does, so does nitric. A glove melting to your skin is much worse than the acid getting on your skin briefly. Which is why I actually don't wear gloves when working with such strong acids. Human skin is actually pretty resilient. Also, it's a motivator to be more careful and not just be like "ah whatever, the gloves will protect me".
strong acid on skin thing is, at least from what I've seen, fairly misunderstood among many chemists. I actually once got into an argument with a chemist twice my age about how quickly hydrochloric (I think it was?) acid starts eating away at your skin. Had to resort to a demonstration to prove my assertion. I guess they heard it from someone, never tested themselves, and so passed it on to others. Same happened to me regarding iodine liquid phase at standard pressure. Was told in a lecture iodine didn't have a liquid phase at standard pressure, only sublimated. Then later told others the same thing until I found out that that wasn't true. But now I'm getting waaaay off track.
@@SMPKarma there are a lot of exaggerations about how dangerous a lot of chemicals are. We need to either find real world demonstrations, or experiment safely ourselves to determine what is, and what is not true. A good example is azidoazide azide. Supposedly unhandleable and will detonate for no reason. Explosions&fire safely demonstrated that this is not true by synthesizing small amounts and testing it.
This is one of my top ten science channels on TH-cam.
I've learned more from you, than what I learned in school.
Very interesting, next time do similar with magic acid and fluroantimonic acid
Chemical Force already done that
Really interesting to see how add water makes the reaction much more intense.
always acid into water, never water into acid :)

Thank you for this. Your videos are excellent
This is highly entertaining. Thanks.
Those acids look so dangerous. I wonder if you could put in a small segment for your next video about how to safely store those incredibly strong acids and other dangerously reactive chemicals
wonderful video! the audio doesn't seem to synchronise with your lips moving for some reason, was wondering why?
Looks like he dubs over in English. Maybe he does two versions and this is the english, or maybe easier to speak technically naturally in his native language and he translates to English after filming so he can choose better words more quickly.
his main channel is in russian
Oh that makes total sense and makes me even more grateful for the vids! Thanks guys
the portal radio song in the beginning :D love it
the dubbing on this video is 200% perfect!

I thought this video came from ChemicalForce
Love your videos!
One of the first types of videos I binged on TH-cam 10 years ago was about various strong acids. Unfortunately, I’ve never seen any demonstrations of anything stronger than sulfuric before this, besides video descriptions of “insane superacids” and I assumed this video was one of the same.
Thank you so much. You actually have fulfilled one of the things I’ve wanted to see for a long time. Please continue videos like this with actual niche chemicals, it’s fascinating
1:23 wow dostawa z Polski haha

I am a school student in Sri Lanka. Once we had concentrated sulphuric acid in a sealed bottle and when we calculated the concentration it was about 18gmoldm-3. It was painful when it a drop accidentally dropped on the hand.
Great Video. Thank you...
What I'm getting from this is i need to pick up some fluorinated plastic gloves!
this is a good experiment to aware someone else..thanks for sharing.
This video actually scared me, I have an old plastic jar of what we used to call "hydrofluoric acid" paste that we used to use for etching mirrored glass signs, and the fumes eminating from the closed jar etched a glass container I had long term stored in the same open plastic tub.
