Hello guys!
In the previous video, I showed you how liquid oxygen reacts with some metals.
Today we will see the reactions of liquid oxygen with non-metals!
Let's start with burning carbon in liquid oxygen
The next classic reaction is the burning of sulfur in liquid oxygen.
One of the subscribers suggested to melt some sulfur on a spoon,
ignite it and dump into liquid oxygen,
Ok let's see how it looks
First we will cool down the cup with liquid nitrogen so that liquid oxygen can be contained for a longer time.
So let's drip some burning sulfur on it
Now the reaction with red phosphorus
So let's look at more unique and exotic reactions
and at the reaction of silicon powder combusting in liquid oxygen
In air silicon powder burns very badly, and may explode in an oxygen atmosphere
Now we will try to set crystal boron on fire
As you can see, crystal boron doesn't burn,
but amorphous boron does burn and also is much more reactive
Take a look at these crystals
this is metallic tellurium,
and now I will show you the reaction with it
but for this reaction we will use amorphous tellurium powder
Thanx for watching, I'm already working on the following video,
but for now, please,
vote for the most favorite reaction in the community tab.
See ya next video!
