I wish Hollywood used these kind of explosions in their CGI instead of those boring gasoline simulations. I said CGI!
Lol they wouldnt have many actors
@@sigmamale4147 I knew that some dyslexic dumbass would show up. That's why I repeated "CGI". For the third time: CGI !!!
You need to work on your reading skills, dude. 🙄
Problem is the shockwave that certain explosions cause , gasoline is one of the few things that won't blow out windows in nearby buildings when u use it for a mock explosion. It takes very little to cause damage. And the issue is people in Hollywood have no Vision and i haven't seen great CGI since like Terminator 2..
@@Natepwnsu WTF is wrong with you guys? CGI CGI CGI CGI CGI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As if I wouldn't know that real explosions like these on a big scale would be much too dangerous. smh 🙄
Oh and btw, are you saying that Avatar 2 has no great CGI? The whole movie is CGI! And even though I don't like those Marvel movies but the CGI is state of the art and you can't tell me they can't do CGI which simulates explosions like these here. Maybe also watch some videos from Corridor Crew.
Loool, they can’t even load prop guns without killing each other, sure, give ‘em reactions 🤣
Thank you Chemical Force for showing us strange, rare, unobtainium chemicals and reactions!
Some of the slo-mo footage in this and past videos are truly amazing.
tip: put a 90° bend on the top of the ladle handle with an extension so your hand won't be directly above the zone of death and the cup can be lowered slowly enough into the liquid to prevent it splashing out.
Many of those it appeared he was exploiting the idea that the reaction didn't really "start" until the liquid comes back down on the ladle.
Maximum entropy
@@MadScientist267 It becomes clear when watching the slow motion. I feel like if the ladle was lowered slowly the reaction would fizzle until the powder breaks up from the displacement of the liquid caused by escaping gases, resulting in a less violent reaction.
Came on here from Explosions and Fire site. You've got some COOL stuff.
Thank you for them!
My favorite reaction was with Thinoyl Chloride. You could use it to power a rocket!
I value your hands and it would make me happy if you initiated these reactions in some way that left your hands somewhat further away when the reactions get going.
There probably should be some spectacular reactions with NaK
Fast, bright and extraordinary! Thank you for showing us those mysterious beautiful yet dangerous reactions!
Fantastic! As always! Would it be possible to do a video on dicyanoacetylene in ozone? Supposedly, it is supposed to burn at around 6000C, but I've never found a video of it. Either way, I absolutely love your videos!
I second this suggestion!
If memory serves me right it burns that hot with o2, o3 would probably make it explode
Ignition!!!
@@markshort9098 to be fair, O3 makes a lot of things explode
Silicon reaction was awesome. Loved the blue-ish tint
Insane as usual. Loved it.
2:51 Some of the elemental metal would react with oxygen in the air to form it's oxide. Especially with all that heat.
This is definitely one of my top 10 all time favorite channels;)
Love these types of videos.
The titanium purple was crazy!
SbCl5. Loved the green.
Your channel will explode in popularity as your test tubes do someday, I am sure of it!
Thank you for the ever-being Chemistry show! I have enjoyed GeCl4 + Mg and I'd like to suggest a reaction between Cs and WF6! Thank you again for revealing the power of powders and liquids!!! Leo, Ph.D. in Chemistry, your fan in soul and heart.
Nice. SbCl5 is my favorite, nice colors. All your videos are fascinating, cause only explosives we played as kids were finely crushed match heads.
I’ve been loving all the burning magnesium videos. I would love to see this continued to fluorides, bromides, and iodides (and other chlorides like POCl3 and SCCl2). Edit: I’m wondering how well nitroalkanes would react. I’d love to see burning magnesium in nitromethane, nitroethane, dinitromethane, and nitroform.
Messed up the timestamp for titanium
great footage as always :3
Awesome thanks for sharing
This is so cool
Love your content, particularly the visuals. You deserve a prize, and I expect that academia must acknowledge your filmography, else be shamed.
Interesting to see the vertical green bands of over exposed camera¡¡
Which reaction do I like best? I like ALL reactions you experiment with.
i can finally watch your videos in 4k on my new phone!!
It's the classic "active metal + less active metallic chloride" single displacement reaction.
Done in anhydrous condition with a heck of a lot of activation energy.
You get magnesium chloride, and the free element as a vapor or powder which may reignite in contact with atmospheric oxygen because everything is so hot.
Sulfur oxychlorides may be specially prone to this kind of behaviour, as the high temperature sulfur vapor reduced by the magnesium will instantly burst into a flaming rocket in contact with atmospheric oxygen.
PCl3 was my favourite of the bunch
The reaction between titanium chloride and magnesium is used to make titanium metal (carbon isn't a strong enough reductant). TiCl4 gas is passed over hot magnesium in an evacuated chamber leaving spongy metallic titanium and magnesium chloride. It's called the Kroll process.
Beautiful video, as always. Other "liquid chlorides" to test with burning magnesium (depending on how well your fume hood works and how much you hate your neighbors): chlorine, phosgene, chromyl chloride and boron trichloride.
I would also love to see more with fluorides, bromides, and iodides.
I'm pretty sure that he's tested the limits of his fume hood quite well already.
Titanium hexachloride..
I won't suggest bromine or iodine tetrachloride... This may be ugly, toxic and explosive, with surprisingly benign products....
@@pierreetienneschneider6731 iodine monochloride could be interesting
Wouldve loved to see vanadyl chloride!! Great video!
Cool.
some liquid fluorine reactions would be really cool
Super interesting how the sparks don't follow ballistic trajectories but change direction mid-air, propelled by the ongoing reaction!
Thank you for flying with mit-air. We know you have a choice in airlines and you chose the wrong one. Good bye
Do you have any really beautiful reactions that take a long time and you can time lapse them?
Silicon tetrachloride - positively Plinian!
Now what can we think about to create the nastiest, ashiest, sootiest mess to replicate Vesuvius ' smoke stack more accurately 😁
Hello you wonderful energetic chemistry legend 🤘
You do really stunning stuff!
Next phase using fluorides? 😬
It might be harder because bonds to fluorine are typically harder to break
Great!
Are you sure, that mainly thermal stress led to breaking the test tube on SnCl4? Perhaps mechanical impact played a role as well. Some other reaction appeared to be at least as exothermic.
I would love for you to shoot a video with slowmo guys.
Cool and mesmerising reactions as ever!
Burning magnesium + 70% Hydrofluoric acid please!!
And the thumb goes right away at the beginning!!!
Crazy when you realize this is why the earth's core is so volatile and reactive. All these reactions are happening at a macro scale
Dang! The last one had some thrust to it!!
My assumption is you'd prefer your glass didn't explode during these types of reactions. Have you tried quartz blend glassware? It's gonna be vastly more expensive but it would be worth while if it didn't shatter from heat like borosilicate will.
How about suspending the magnesium above the liquid instead of immersing it. I notice on some of the tests the reaction starts even before the magnesium has reached the liquid.
Can you do dimethyl sulfate?
Awesome! Would love to see carbon subnitride or one of the other hottest burning substances in ozone!
When are you going to do a chemical reaction with arsenic compounds?
Not surprisingly the corrosive Antimony Pentachloride was the best one.
İs there any chance to be the green yellowish gas a Mgo
Did you try Carbon Tetrachloride?
Make a video about lead.
Reaction with OsO4
If termites are any interest to you, confirm that magnesium is a better metallurgical reducer of SiO2 than aluminium, in termite. seems like Mg + SiO2 is self-powered instead of Al + SiO2 which is not without tricks. and oxygen affinity charts mostly tell that aluminium should be better but seems not to be the case.
Does Mg metal that's not burning react with these chlorides?
Try a burning chunk of magnesium instead of a powder. Or even a liquid magnesium.
Sploziuns!!
(If I somehow get all of these correct, maybe we could get this pinned. Not all of this may be correct though)
If you react Magnesium (Mg) with Hydrochloric Acid (HCl), the resulting products are Magnesium Chloride (MgCl2) and Hydrogen Gas (H2). If these are chlorides we're talking about, we can expect these reactions to have similar results (as well as for other Halides)
Here's how these reactions could turn out:
All of these reactions would yield Magnesium Chloride (a salt) and the pure element.
For Tin Tetrachloride (SnCl4), we'd get pure Tin (Sn)
For Silicon Tetrachloride (SiCl4), we'd get pure Silicon (Si), which would very quickly oxidize to form Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
For Germanium Tetrachloride (GeCl4), we'd get pure Germanium (Ge), which, like silicon, would quickly oxidize to form Germanium Dioxide (GeO2)
For Phosphorus Trichloride (PCl3), we'd get pure Phosphorus (P), which would catch fire due to the intense heat.
For Antimony Pentachloride (SbCl5), we'd get pure Antimony (Sb). However, because of the high temperature of the burning magnesium, the antimony would quickly oxidize to form Antimony Trioxide (Sb2O3)
For Titanium Tetrachloride (TiCl4), we'd get pure Titanium (Ti), which would quickly oxidize to form Titanium Dioxide (TiO2), which is actually what gives white pigments their colour.
Ideally, Oxalyl Chloride would yield an Ethylene dione (C2O2)
For Sulphuryl Chloride (SO2Cl2), we'd get Sulphur Dioxide (SO2), which is a component of Acid Rain
And finally, for Thionyl Chloride (SOCl2), we'd get Sulphur Monoxide (SO), which, when concentrated or condensed, will convert into Disulphur Dioxide (S2O2)
What an ingeniously crazy mind ChemicalForce is. Not in my wildest dreams had I thought of such maniacal reactions. completely senseless useless, dangerous, toxic, and whatnot. WHY? Because ChemialForce CAN :D and make fantastically beautiful videos about it, especially the slow-mo.
I think this is what might be happening during the reaction
ElCl4 + 4 Mg = Mg4ElCl4 + heat
Mg4ElCl4 + 4 H2O (from air) = ElH4 + 4 MgClOH + heat
ElH4 + O2 (+some heat) = ElO2 + 2 H2O + heat
what's the green beam of light? magnesium SiC14
its happing alot
Could the reaction between Mg and SOCl2 be used as a propellant? has it been used? Seems cool to use a metal for that purpose.
There probably are more energetic ways to create thrust with the same amount of fuel. Plus, Thionyl chloride has the nasty habit of releasing HCL upon contact with water. Upon looking up the chemical: It's a controlled chemical as per the chemical weapons convention.
@@Mp57navy yeah, but NASA tried a lot of different methods, maybe this was one of them?
when using something as a propellant you want the exiting particles, or lets say molecules to be as small and light as possible, e.g. HF, H2O etc. also you don't want solid particles to stopper your thruster, because for obvious reasons
@@Torteufel besides of that, there's the cost issue of using literally tons of these reactants, that makes it prohibitive compared to some classic propellants like hydrogen, hydrazine, etc
even if you did, i wouldnt think something that dumps all of its energy almost instantly would be best. you would want something with a slower burn.
oogabooga feel good.
Mg + dry water? (Perflourinated organics)
It may be a way to break down those pesky perfluoroalkyl Teflon byproducts...
That stuff that messes up our endocrine systems, and never ever ever breaks down....
Bro try to show the reaction equations too so it would be more informative and amazing
#ChemicalForce
I think Mg+GeCl4-->MgCl2+GeCl2
how to dissolve calcium carbonate instantly
I will be very scared the day we discover a planet with an active chlorine atmosphere.
Try it with chromyl chloride :)
More thrust = better. Last one wins. Looks like rocket fuel :)
Cursed jaeger bomb
Better chlorides than chlorates... 😉
Oops.... You opened up the Pandoras box.
Now I wanna see burning magnesium dumped into high strength perchloric acid....
From 1 mile upwind, for sure.
I talked about molten chlorate, not perchloric acid.
Anyways: never do that at home, because I guess it will result in a severe explosion with glass shrapnel...
I remember when I was young (today it isn't allowed anymore) I heated a spatula full of a mixture between Mg powder and anhydrous CaSO4 and it already ended up very similar (my textbook said the test tube won't survive, but I had no idea how angry it really was - thank god I wore safety googles! It would have been better to do this in an open iron crucible.) Not even thinking about what might have happened if it really had been chlorate instead of harmless gypsum... 😱
This is chemical pornography and I love it 😂❤
Don’t show it to your kids
Most of the interesting part of the video is in the verbal descriptions, which were completely lost in the poor pronunciation. Without the words, it's just the same video clip over and over, with only slight variation.
