  • Join us on a journey of fire and chemistry as we explore the explosive reactions of burning magnesium with various liquid inorganic chlorides. Watch as the magnesium reacts with tin tetrachloride, silicon tetrachloride, germanium tetrachloride, and more to create powerful and visually stunning displays of energy. See how each reaction differs in intensity, brightness, and outcome.

      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..

    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.

    (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)

    ElH4 + O2 (+some heat) = ElO2 + 2 H2O + heat
