Hey, guys! In this video I’ll show you five new ways to make fire in a lab without matches,
that you probably won’t use anymore. You’ll just know you have them.
Take a roll of toilet paper and soak it in nitromethane,
then take a little bit of potassium superoxide and powder it on top.
For the next reaction we’ll need sodium peroxide.
I’ll get it by decomposing sodium azide in air.
Sodium peroxide won’t be very pure in this case,
but that won’t influence fire reaction in any way.
Now I’ll use the powder, we got from the previous reaction,
to sprinkle it on a roll of toilet paper
and add a few drops of glacial acetic acid.
In this reaction I’ll soak some toilet paper in pure formic acid.
By the way, formic acid vapors ignite off naked flame.
I’ll provoke ignition by adding solid lithium borohydride
Now I’ll take a piece of toilet paper and soak it in a small amount of hydrazine hydrate.
Adding a few drops of chromyl chloride causes a violent reaction that results in a flame.
And before we move on to the most interesting reaction in this video
I’d like to thank all my viewers for watching my channel and leaving comments.

It all makes the channel grow and motivates me to create more high-quality,
more captivating and more unique content.
One of the best solvents for decaborane is ethyl acetate.
I’ll dissolve some decaborane in said reagent
And now I’ll take a piece of toilet paper,
pour the solution, that I got, on it,
and put a little chromic anhydride crystal on top.
Then I’ll just hide in a safe place and hope to see you in the next video.
