can you do a video nitronium tetrafluoroborate not yet while think
about nitrosyl perchlorate holy moly you have access to that?
holy moly yep
Despite the fact that Nitrosyl perchlorate is quite stable
and none explosive compound it's not commercially available
so we're gonna synthesize it just like Hofmann and Zedtwitz did more than
100 years ago by bubbling oxidize of nitrogen into concentrated perchloric acid solution
nitrogen monoxide and dioxide or occur in almost equal
concentration in the reaction of starch with concentrated nitric acid
When reacting with concentrated perchloric acid, these nitrogen oxides produce nitrosyl perchlorate,
or more precisely it's monohydrate
To get nitrosyl perchlorate anhydrous, after filtering and sludge washing
we're gonna dry it in a vacuum desiccator over phosphorus pentoxide
let's put phosphorus pentoxide and nitrosyl perchlorate into the vacuum desiccator
pump out the air
Nytrosil perchlorate is extremely hygroscopic
in the picture there’s just dried nitrosyl perchlorate, but in air it quickly absorbs moisture
Now I'm going to show you a chemical reactions with NOClO4
Nitrosyl perchlorate reactions sounds exotic
Like and subscribe so that we could have more exotic chemical reactions on this channel
Nitrosyl perchlorate is readily hydrolyzed to nitrous and perchloric acids
Decomposition begin below 100 degrees Celsius with the evolution of a yellow gas
it's mixture chlorine and chlorine dioxide
The reactions of nytrosil perchlorate with some organic compounds are generally
vigorous and frequently result in explosion
acetone and ethanol ignite, then explode; ether evolves gas, then explodes after a few seconds delay
Let'a check this!
the article’s authors didn’t lie but I didn’t manage to ignite urea
I was really curious to see titanium powder reaction because it reacted
violently with ammonium perchlorate and hydrozyne perchlorate
Now I’m gonna show you two solid-solid explosion reactions.
The first one is LiBH4 reaction
and the second is metalic Samarium reaction. Sounds mind blowing
