    OMG THANK YOU. I was going mad trying to find what the actual reaction between bleach and ammonia is and all I could find was contradiction after contradiction. This video was exactly what I needed, clearing up pretty much every product I thought was plausible from what I read online, and concisely at that! I also think I found the same source that said you could decompose the HOCl into HCl and O lmao glad I wasn't the only one who got a kick out of that.

    I have alot of respect already for you after watching this video. There are so many people out there who claim to be way more competent chemists than they really are. Often times spreading false information that can harm others without even realizing it. Now we need as many scientists on board as possible I feel, but we need to make sure people really follow proper safety HEAVILY.
    Thank you for posting.

    Highschool custodian here. Sometimes old urinals don't really flush well and somehow urine concentrates in the plumbing. Pour some bleach in there, immediate foaming and chlorine smell. Kind of ran away and that hallway outside the bathroom was blocked off for a couple hours. Could smell it all the way down the hall and got increasingly irritating to eyes and nasal cavities the closer you got

  • @ihbarddx
    @ihbarddx Před 3 lety +4

    Actually, chloramines are much more noxious than NH3. As a kid, I coughed for 15 minutes after minor inhalation of the stuff, which resulted from mixing NH4Cl with bleach. (I should also remark that this reaction is more acidic than the one you described, and yet it goes faster.) The gas evolved also exploded when ignited with a match. Anyway, chloramines should indeed be taken seriously, IMHO.

    I once made the idiotic mistake of pouring rest stain remover (largely ammonia) into a pre-pay jug cleaning an apartments carpet for a move in. I wasn't aware that the jug id grabbed was from another job and instead of cleaner it was mostly straight bleach hooked up to a pressure line. I remember dropping it coughing spitting my lungs burning my head disoriented and pounding as I opened the windows and ran out the door. It took 3-4 hours before I finished that job and sat disoriented in my work vehicle my respiratory system felt like it had been seared from the inside... it was horrible

    • @phdatliving
      @phdatliving  Před 3 lety +1

      Thanks for watching! Sometimes stoichiometry gets messy (combustion reactions often make the O2 have something like 3/2 or 5/3 as its coefficient) and things don't make intuitive sense. For ammonia and bleach becoming monochloramine (as best I can write it here), you get:
      1 NH3 + 1 NaClO = 1 NH2Cl + 1 Na+ + 1 OH-
      The way I show it in the video, the hypochlorite picks up an H+ proton (not from the ammonia) to become hypochlorous acid, and then that reacts with the ammonia, ultimately leaving water instead of the hydroxyl anion. Hope that helps!

  • @radicalmoderate2730
    @radicalmoderate2730 Před 2 lety

    Didn't know Faraday discovered Benzine thats interesting. Love your break down and explination but I think your missing the point. If you mix house hold Ammonia and house hold bleach which is heavily diluted you will make a crude "dirty" form of Mustard Gas. Combine that with an enclosed space like a bathroom witih no ventilation you will get a blistering agent on your skin and lungs before you can get up from the toilet that you are cleaning.
    As far as mixing it in a pressure cooker... hmm why not lol.
    Anyway love your channel brother and definitely subscribed.

    Thanks man, only video I could find that actually explained it. Might use this for a school project if my teacher allows. Do you know if the reaction is exothermic? I want to measure the reaction apart from collecting the gas because it's toxic and usually problematic to measure the gas.

    • @phdatliving

      I've never done it personally, but everything I'm seeing says yes, it's exothermic. Cheers!

    Well wait nurdrage made his hydrazine sulphate by mixing bleach with ammonia at room temperature. You can look it up.
    Also the arrows are supposed to show a pair of electrons moving, if the electrons are in a bond the arrow should start from the bond not the atom.
    Interesting video though
    Thank you

    • @phdatliving
      @phdatliving  Před 3 lety

      Hydrazine sulfate isn't the same as pure hydrazine, unfortunately. The pure stuff is much harder to make - check out the Olin Raschig process.
      As for the arrows, you're totally right. Lazy arrow-pushing there. Thanks for watching!
