I'm definitely changing to piranha solution for all my body disposal needs.
Are you Heisenberg?
@@ToddJustman That was hydrogen fluoride
@@ToddJustman you sound *uncertain*
@@Paonporteur You are just a too big of p....nice human being.
Such a shame that this video wasn’t posted a few days earlier. There was a nice Black Friday deal on hydrogen peroxide when bought by the barrel. Unaware of this video, I decided to invest in a commercial grade wood chipper instead.
I hope the professor stays with us for a long time to come
Sounds like you think he is old and could die any moment?
5:23 Now the piranhas in the ocean are literally gonna be in acid. 😂
@@Bassotronics acid is usually neutralised before being discarded of. Additionally the tap is on full blast, diluting whatever was in there to extremely low concentrations.
@@Bassotronics piranha aren't in the ocean
Everyone dies
The professor almost sounded disappointed that he didnt used the whole kilo.
Shoot I am too, would have liked to see a whole chicken drumstick submerged
They got kinda hungry, that`s why they didnt use the whole kilo
@@matthewisrail Yeah, I don't get it. In the previous video, they noted that with enough solution it could dissolve the entire object, and then the peroxide would oxidize the carbon to CO2 and the solution would go clear. So they had the perfect opportunity to completely dissolve an entire chicken leg, and instead used so little solution that it barely got started before the solution was exhausted. Completely wasted.
I suspect he might not have wanted to do that due to maybe getting another worse version of what the banana did?
You'd need a pretty large container with spare volume to contain a reaction once it took off, also not sure if that was deemed acceptable in that cabinet.
But a compromise could've been to cut a section of an unaffected chicken leg of and put that in sufficient pranha solution to get a similar effect.
@@extrastuff9463 Nile Red Shorts did it! Entire chicken leg, gone in seconds!
The professor is a national treasure
I like to think the professor transcends national boundaries.
An international treasure
Well he was knighted in 2015 so I suppose that is correct.
@@DoiInthanon1897 this. True nerd, original personality and absolurely adorable!
When are we gonna see the main event? *Piranha vs Piranha* - The battle in the beaker, the fracas in the flask! The Piranhas go bananas! It's Fish... versus..... Fluiiiiiid!
😂👍🏼
What about piranha acid v piranha
Dude.... thank you so much for this
@@jacobguerreso675i think that's what he's talking about.
That is cruel.
Its like one of those videos where they put a goldfish in a blender. You just dont do that. Its wrong.
Greetings,
Jeff
Mythbusters- We can't tell you what the other mystery ingredient of piranha solution is. Periodic videos- it's a mix of sulphuric acid and hydrogen peroxide.
Back then I don’t think many common people knew the formula but thanks to the internet it’s just common knowledge now
Delete your comment plz. U r educating people in a way thats not necessary. This stuff is dangerous
@@btardedbot2.2.62 everyone knows already bro delete urs lol
I thought it was hydrochloride acid and hydrogen peroxide.
@@user-chemistpharmacist if you do that you wind up with chlorine gas bubbling out- not recommended
I am so glad that Neil's banana is safe this time🍌
1.
It was a shame that Neil dissolve most of his banana, and that the skin from the tip of it fell off. 👈👀
I’ve been looking forward to this video! I love the attitude the Professor has when talking about dissolving bodies in acid.
Well, if there's still 800g + of chicken leg lying around, there's only one other chemistry experiment that I can think of: A BARBECUE!
Mince well a whole onion, add some garlic, the juice of 3-5 lemons and salt. Put the chicken legs into that sauce. Make sure to poke the legs with your preferred pointy instrument so that the sauce can penetrate. Give them a few twists and let them rest from this leg work for about an hour. Then light the fire, put them on a grill not too close to the fire and turn them from time to time so they cook evenly. 30 to 45 min is probably enough depending on how much fiery is your fire. Enjoy!
What PPE is required? Should this be done under a fume hood?
Hmmm barbecue it using the bunsen burner
Barbecue it using iron oxide and aluminium powder. ;)
@@CptPatch Recommended PPE include an apron, barbecue mitts and tongs. Apron should be imprinted "Kiss the Cook." The lid of the grill is an acceptable substitute for a fume hood.
@Bitterkind It's called food, people eat it, so do other animals.
wow! very effective method of body disposal! my cartel thanks you for your diligent research :)
Not really living up to your name are you?
Safety First: don't dunk things in piranha solution. Make Neil do it.
😂
You cant do something wrong if you let others do it
The professor change my attitudes towards chemistry.I. really love chemistry now.I almost watch your all videos.I think chemistry is a mystery. I am a 19 old student from Sri Lanka
I saw a documentary about disposing of bodies... Turns out a solution of biological washing powder and water is the best way to do the deed 👍
This randomly showed up in my recommend, and I thought it was going to be an actual pirhana eating a chicken leg. Never have I been so happy to be wrong! I'm a big chem nerd and the professor is AMAZING! Thanks for the laughs and great video!
There are hundreds of videos on this channel. You may be watching them for some time. Don't forget to take breaks. :D
I suppose a real chicken versus real piranhas would be on a biology channel...
It would probably end up even worse for the chicken...
depends are the piranhas hungry because they are docie for the most part.
Im so glad i found this chanel! The team aswell as the professor are truly amazing
if you like chemistry and comedy check out Explosions and Fire. Great channel. Also, Cody's Lab is awesome. Both are "garage" chemists who do some pretty cool stuff.
@@ericmcdonald9803Ty! I've been subscribed for a while now to his channel. I grew up really close to where he lives actually. )
@@zach5539 oh very cool. he's hilarious, i love that channel. Are you Australian or did you just live there awhile?
Reminds me of your Chicken in Hydrochloric Acid video. I am glad to see PV (and Neil) still going strong!
Interesting explanation of the piranha solution!
I don't know..... We need Bryan Cranston's input on this. :-)
Definitely the chemist they consulted for those scenes. 😀
The professor is amazing i love him hanging out with him has to be fun
Happy birthday Martyn for the 13th
That was fascinating. So we need to keep an eye on Hairdressers that run Garages . Thanks for the great videos Gentlepeeps.
I love you guys and all Chemistry!
4:30 thank you this a big question I had just because it was something I kept thinking throughout this video and others talking about piranha solution. Trying to research or ask about people using this solution for that would definitely get you on some sort of government watch list, and I don't need that I'm just curious boy
Welcome to another episode of _Better Killing Through Chemistry_ !
If I ever need to get rid of a body, now I know how not to do it...
still got the bones
What does combining piranha solution, aqua regia, and HF do? What could its container even be made of?
I am glad you did this, and it feels wrong to complain at all, but I was hoping you guys would use a large enough beaker and enough solution to fully dissolve the chicken and turn the Carbon into CO2, returning the solution to clear.
Nile Red Shorts did it, check his channel out.
How does the Piranha Solution react with a metal?
And sodium or potassium
Will say, with great vigour with reactive metals, like aluminium, sodium and potassium, and with slightly less vigour with the less vigorous ones like iron and copper. Might not react with nickel as it forms a stable oxide layer on the surface.
Probably it will oxidize most of the metals (so they get diluted forming sulphate complexes) since the hyidrogen peroxide is very oxidant. Also the protons present will get reduced forming hydrogen gas. Metallic sodium and potassium will explode because of their fast oxidation.
Sulfuric acid, water, and hydrogen peroxide, so yea, Metal over time can be effected
Actually I think that the reaction of a transition metal (Fe for example) with H2SO4 or H2O2 or even HCl is pretty much the same. Maybe the reaction is faster with piranha but nothing more interesting
No theory needed. It is used to strip chrome plating.
Some say that the piranah solution is distilled from his sweat, and that his voice is so low that he can talk to whales in their own language. All we know is, he's called Neil.
Jeremy Clarkson cameo when? 😀
The whole kilo minus one chicken legs are now in Neil's stomach 🤣
All dissolved by now.
And minus the bones, hopefully.
Sir Professor Poliakoff is a national treasure.
So basically the moral of the story here is that Piranha solution has a synergistic effect on soft tissue as well as bone.
Thanks for sharing
Now I finally know what to do if someone attacks me with a banana!
Or a pointed stick?
@@ImplodedAtom Shut up!😆
Keep em coming!. -NB canada
Which garden shrub is that behind him?
I recently started working as an assayer in a digestion lab. We use nitric and hcl plus tartaric acid to prepare our antimony samples for atomic absorption spectrometry.
My question is, if aqua regia is is used for dissolving inert metals, what does tartaric acid bring to the reaction? Is it some sort of collector, or does it have something to do with the AA spectrometry process?
Following for the answer
Looks delicious. I want to eat chicken cooked in piranha solution.
The residual acid could add an extra bitter flavor.
YUM!
you okay there man?
Actually, acids produce a sour taste. Think of vinegar.
You won't get salmonella from it, that's for sure
Thats why i used to use ammonium persulphate dissolved in conc. sulphuric acid to clean my glassware when i did surface chemistry. You get a lovely, clean, organics free surface.
with the professor we'll never have to ask where the bodies are buried, as there are no bodies...
I'd be curious to see how much faster the reaction happens with hydrochloric acid with proteases added (such as trypsin), versus plain hydrochloric acid. I think it's something of a false assumption that it's purely stomach acid that dissolves and breaks down food. I think enzymes have an important role also.
I've been curious about this too.
Stomach acid's job is more about killing microbes than about breaking down food. Acids in general are pretty bad at breaking down proteins, though a few are better at it. HCl is rather poor for protein degradation, for example. Enzymes are what make pretty much every step of digestion actually happen.
@@napoleontheclown If I remember it right, to get L-cysteine out of hair, you have to reflux hair in 6M hydrochloric acid for 24 hours or something lengthy like that. Hair being keratin, an amino acid polymer.
@@napoleontheclown here in australia we had the “Snowtown murders”, bodies disposed of in 44 gallon drums full of HCl.
If I remember the documentary from like 15 years ago well enough… When the barrels were discovered, it was as if the bodies had actually been preserved.
@@napoleontheclown But don't some of those enzymes need stomach acid in order to work?
Prof. Poliakoff teaching us how to safely dispose of a body.
this is really cool, I have a question, how much acid would I need to burn a 160 pound chicken leg and a 200 pound piranha?
So what do you get if you combine Sulfuric acid, Hydrochloric acid, AND Nitric acid?
You basically just made xenomorph blood :O
Excellent
what if a strong acid that is better at reacting organic compounds is added to the Piranha solution? will it become better at dissolving the chicken leg or will it react with the Piranha solution?
"Why haven't people dissolved bodies in piranha solution?"
I mean... maybe they have... how would we know it ever happened... 👀
Its might have happened but I doubt its done so with any frequency or we probably would have heard something from someone blowing themselves up, or a news story of a killer having been caught due to trying to buy large amounts of conc h2o2 and sulphuric acid, or even just losing control of the reaction an creating a massive fire/gas cloud leading to discovery.
El Pozolero dissolve hundreds of bodies in Mexico.
What caused the color change?
Try a mixture of HF and H2O2.
Isnt H2SO5 made?
Would be cool if you could do this experiment with pancreatic enzymes, example buying creon and make a solution with it.
So now that the chicken is dissolved (a chicken solution), what happens if we add piranha?
Piranha vs chicken solution when?
You could put habanero peppers in chicken noodle soup and serve it to brave hungry people, perhaps.
The best stuff for washing the dishes 😀
What about nitric acid?
How do you dispose of the solution??
I woner, would the affecg be the same on human flesh and remains?
I'm a bit disappointed with the quantity of piranha solution 🤔
They had an episode of CSI recently where a guy used piranha solution to dissolve a body in a bathtub i knew what it was as soon as i saw the chemical containers.
Nile Red did the same thing but "soaked his weiner" in the solution. After a time he ended up with a "sad little meat noodle" before it vanished into CO2 and probably a lot of soluble nitrates.
How did you safely dispose of the chicken goo?
The channel Nilered has a few videos with piranha. One of which he quickly dissolves a hotdog.
This professor looks like the type of guy to warn us of impending doom and we don’t listen.
Now we need to mix Piranha Solution with Aqua Regia, and see what happens!
What was the exact formula for the Piranha solution you guys used and what concentrations were the H2O2 and H2SO4?
Usually conc sulfuric acid and 40% peroxide, mixed 50:50.
I was taught to make it with 30% H2O2 and conc. H2SO4 in a 1:3 ratio, always adding the H2O2 to the H2SO4 slowly with stirring. But other ratios are also used.
Nile reds video shows one almost vaporising. This is very slow. What’s the difference ?
Why are they not filling the beaker completly with the pirana solution and submerging the leg completly into it ?
I like your vids
So - if this solution were to be exposed to live tissue, what is the preferred method/substance to neutralize the acid in order to limit the damage/injury?
If its a splash or just a drop flush flush flush but it'll probably all have reacted with the tissue before you could even dunk your arm in somwthing. If its a significant amount or submerged flush flush flush, amputate.
Lovely!
Can the Piranha Solution eat throw Diamond?
Piranha solution looks a little too violent to be trying to do some Breaking Bad stuff
5:22 Now the piranhas in the ocean are literally gonna be in acid. 😂
Why did the piranha solution disolve the bone? Isn't bone just calcium?
“So,Neil tackled the chicken leg.”
I think that the reason no murderes are known to have used piranha solution is, that the murderers also were dissolved when the stuff got all over the place..
What % of h2o2 you use?
30% is standard for lab use
Why did i read that title as “chicken alive in piranha solution”
Now i finally know how to get rid of these pesky bodies, thanks.
Signed H.
say i had 2 chickens that weighed about 400lbs how much of this would i need
been forever since a upload how is everyone over there at periodic videos
I wonder how this would work if you had sulfuric acid and dinitrogen tetroxide...
_(announcer)_ Hi there Jane. Hi there, Billy. I see you two don't care for broccoli much. I bet you wish your broccoli would just disappear. Well, the Professor has a solution for that...
Is this solution similar to T-stoff?
I think T-Stoff was straight high test (80% or more) Hydrogen Peroxide. If you have the right catalyst it makes for an awesome monopropellant.
Why is Piranha Solution not used in Embalming?
I'm expecting them to do actual alchemy soon and see if they can get Neil to create a real philosopher's stone.
Some kind of reverse aqua regia would work. Easy. Just dry it out to form a stone.
I trust Neil is capable of such an undertaking
"I bought him a whole kilo of chicken legs, but he just tried one." That's cuzz Niel died eating the 1st chicken leg.
I know I know, I'm super funny.
What about H2SO4 + KMnO4?
Makes an explosive, pretty certain that's on every bit of warning literature for sulphuric acid and permanganate.
We have not heard of dissolving the victim in piranha solution because it works 😜
Would a chicken leg react in a similar way with a solution of aqua regia?
Hmmm 🤔
Could you use this as an alternative way of cooking?
edit: maybe dilute it a bit .... but then it might be a great tenderizer
This is the next thing in Michelin starred restaurants I can see it now…”Acid tenderized Kobe beef…”
@@fensoxx no need for clumsy chopsticks nor knive and fork, just use a straw
been ages!
How comes this channel hasn't spoken about the mythical Fluroantimonic Acid?
Note to self: Do not annoy the Professor!
I thought H2O2 is stabilized with phosphoric acid
But now you're telling me higher concentrations of H+ make it a stronger oxidizer
What's the deal with that?
i really need to start actually reading the title of these videos, i thought there was going to be a fish eating a chicken leg.
I will never eat chicken again! lol Cool video.
Once the reaction ends without completely consuming the chicken leg, what would happen if you gradually added more hydrogen peroxide to the black liquid? would it restart and keep dissolving?
Yes
The mention of murderers using acid to dispose of their victims reminds me of "The Acid Bath Murderer" John George Haigh who was an old boy of my old school. Could this be why I have always had an interest in Chemistry? It's rumoured that Haigh's ghost haunts one of the school's chemistry labs!
