  • @Muonium1

    The exceptional videography is really apparent here at 2:00 where we can actually see the intrinsic GREEN color of sodium (Na2) vapor! When we typically think of "sodium vapor" the color yellow comes to mind due to the famous D line doublet emission and this is what's of course responsible for the color of yellow street lamps. But that's atomic excitation emission, and here we see the very rarely observed diatomic MOLECULAR absorption of sodium, I guess due to some vibronic coupling mechanism. You can see that it's very ephemeral and lasts only a few seconds and exists only in the few millimeters above the burning metal where the vapor concentration is simultaneously very high but is also cool enough to allow the dimers to exist without being ripped apart into monoatomic Na. Beautiful.

  • @nigeljohnson9820

    The trick is to make fire without using extremely powerful reducing and oxidising agents. A reaction I have found fascinating is the air oxidation of cotton cloth impregnated with a dryer oil, made from turpentine and manganese dioxide or linseed oil. Over a period of hours, the heat builds up until the cloth ignites. It is the explanation of a number of fires that have resulted from discarded painting cloths,used for cleaning brushes. Apparently this reaction has also been used by special forces in sabotage actions.

    Hey would you be willing to do some interesting syntheses that go a little more in depth than the binary reactions you're showing? Something that has multiple steps and maybe involves reactions where you don't know the exact result in advance. I really enjoyed when you showed how to make anhydrous nitric acid, for example.
    Also, I was wondering if there are any reactions where you could show the oxidizing power of flourine and what it can do. There must be some flourine compounds that are safe enough to handle (unless there aren't).

    Delightful fireworks. Many of these oxidizers you're using are very rare to find in any amateur lab. I wonder if there are any novel fiery things that you can do with more common oxidizers... KmnO4 pops to mind, and calcium hypochlorite. I know, they've been featured a lot on YT, but I suspect the possibilities have not been exhausted.
