Hey, guys! In my previous video about white phosphorous and how it burns under water,
I also showed you a reaction with magnesium burning under water
In this funny video I’m going to carry on with the series of experiments with burning magnesium,
changing the liquids I’m putting it into. And all of this is going to be in slow-mo
So, now I will be soaking burning magnesium in decomposing hydrogen peroxide
To cause its decompounding, I’ll drop a hydrogen peroxide crystal in potassium permanganate
Due to oxygen actively evolving, you can see magnesium beginning to flash at the surface of hydrogen peroxide
Thanks to magnesium burning in pure oxygen, this reaction is much brighter than the previous one with water
And now I will be soaking burning magnesium in liquid ammonia
These yellow crystals are magnesium nitride, that evolves ammonia when interacting with water
Here I tried to soak burning magnesium in concentrated hydrochloric acid
The chapter about magnesium in Reactive Chemical Hazards says that the powdered metal reacts vigorously
and may explode on contact with chloromethane, chloroform or carbon tetrachloride
Let’s find out how methylene chloride, chloroform and carbon tetrachloride will react
Well, guys, now you know why carbon tetrachloride, that is widely used in fire extinguishing,
is forbidden to use for extinguishing burning metals
Thanks for watching guys
I hope you like this video also huge thanks to my patrons you help me releasing new videos a lot
See ya in the next one!
