Brominating an Alcohol using Phosphorus Tribromide (1-pentanol)
Hello everyone! In this video, we will be brominating 1-pentanol using PBr3 that was made in a previous video.
I will use the product, bromopentane, in a future video to make my biting insect attracting chemical.
I am going to try and edit all of my 1080p stuff and dump it all as fast as I can. There are 15 of them and I hope to drop them all in the next month or so.
NOTE: I say and write 10mL dextrose, but i mean 10g. There is clearly a bag of solid dextrose there. I have no idea how I messed that up!
Today we are going to be playing with the redox indicator methylene blue.
Instead of KOH, it can be replaced with NaOH. It just needs to be adjusted according to molar mass.

Capsaicin is basically pure spiciness, and it's the main chemical that gives chili peppers their heat. Even in the stronger ones like habaneros, there's actually very little in each pepper. It's so strong that when I've tried it in its pure form, I don't even find it very spicy, and it kind of just hurts.

When mercury is added to aluminum, it forms an amalgam (a mercury alloy).
Aluminum is normally protected by a thick oxide layer, but the formation of the amalgam disrupts it. It allows fresh aluminum to react with air to form white aluminum oxide. As the oxide grows, it forms as these cool white fibers.

WARNING: what I do in this video is extremely dangerous. Please don't try doing this yourself.
For this video, I'll be exploring some of the science behind hypergolic liquid propelled rockets. As a fuel, I used aniline, and as an oxidizer, I used nitric acid that I made in a previous video.

Today we dissolve and destroy an innocent hot dog in super hot piranha solution.
Piranha solution is a mixture of sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide. The solution here is so hot that it immediately breaks down any peroxide that is present so I keep having to add more.

Okay, so we are not truly dissolving the gold, we are actually forming an alloy between the gold and the mercury (called an amalgam).
This process is not only cool to look at, but it also is really useful to extract gold from ore. The gold-mercury amalgam can then be isolated and the mercury is boiled off or removed chemically. This leaves behind relatively pure gold.

Reuploaded because I messed up some editing. Hopefully this one is good...
Hey guys, today we will be cleaning up some of my mercury metal. Remember that when working with mercury, you need to be in a well ventilated area because it gives off a lot of fumes.
Cleaning mercury like this is dangerous for obvious reasons...so please don't try this
Also, all mercury waste must be dealt with appropriately. No pouring it down the drain!!
I forgot to post where I got the procedure: http://digital.library.okstate.edu/oas/oas_pdf/v09/p138_139.pdf

About a year ago, I saw one of the weirdest reactions that I've ever seen. It was called the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction and it's one of the few good examples of an oscillating chemical reaction. I decided to try and do it myself, and this video summarizes the process that I used.
*At the 5min mark, I say 1.5g phenanthroline monohydrate, but 5g is written. It is indeed 1.5g though.
