Hello guys!
I'm sorry for delaying new videos I've a lot of work to do,
but I'll try to create more content this year because our Community is growing
and I'm starting to feel responsible to you
today I'm gonna show you hypergolic reactions with chromyl chloride.
Hypergolic reaction is one whose components spontaneously ignite
when they come into contact with each other
chromyl chloride is highly electrophilic and aggressive oxidizing agent
that inflames a lot of materials on contact.
Well, that's what we are about to do today
Chromyl chloride is an a molecular compound that represents chromic acid chloranhydride
It's highly hygroscopic and looks like bromine
Before demonstrating hypergolic reactions
I want to show you the reaction that was suggested by one of the subscribers
it is one with chromyl chloride and with lithium aluminum hydride
you could see it at the beginning of this video.
A typical reaction of chromyl chloride with ethanol and acetone was demonstrated plenty of times
So I will show a reaction with diethyl ether
Morpholine acts more dynamically in this reaction
As far as styrene oxidizes easily I decided to try to affect on it with the help of chromyl chloride
by the way, you can imitate the smell of burned wiring with that of styrene
In the next reaction I used a way more active phenylacetylene
phenylacetylene has a smell stronger than that of styrene,
the color varies from colorless to yellow
Coming up next - hydrazine hydrate,
it's a colorless, toxic, highly hygroscopic liquid.
with reducing properties and the smell of cat urine
Notice how the stain changes when hydrazine hydrate interacts with chromyl chloride
But what is produced in this reaction?
share your guesses with me in a comment section below
Now I'm gonna show you reaction with phosphorus trichloride,
this reaction is also suggested by one of the subscribers: Trifosgene
This is an ampule with phosphorus trichloride synthesized in a laboratory.
Well, phosphorus trichloride your time has come
Let me know what you think about the products of this reaction in the comments
Thanks everyone for subscribing to my channel, watching my videos and leaving comments
This really inspires me to show you more new exotic chemical reactions.
See ya next video
