Just a thought: when pouring something as nasty as thionyl chloride, a glass rod can guide the flow so you don't have it dripping all over the place.

That’s not living life dangerously, bill.

Muffin’s Shed - 2019-12-31

I came here on the recommendation of the Explosions and Fire channel. Was not disappointed. Where the hell do you live to be able access these chemicals? Just a little issue, could you get a better microphone or overdub so the sound is better? Also, love the background music, it’s like an old Atari ST racing game 😆
Great channel, keep it up 👍

Rhodanide - 2018-06-29

Holy crap, that's the most SOCl2 I've seen in one container. You've got more than some University labs! Awesome video as always, you never disappoint.

brady williams - 2020-04-04

Rogue Anuerz stuff is no joke even the drum it comes in empty is 70 pounds alone. very water moisture reactive

Rhodanide - 2020-04-04

@brady williams What process uses it? Some synthesis I presume.

brady williams - 2020-04-05

Rhodanide not allowed to say really most agricultural related

Rhodanide - 2020-04-05

@brady williams I get that.

sixstringedthing - 2021-01-06

@brady williams I'm gonna go ahead and guess pesticide production intermediate, but I understand that you can't discuss proprietary processes (and also that this comment was nine months ago).

i NIGHTFURY - 2019-12-29

By adding water into the drum of SOCl2 is how we used to decompose this nasty stuff. I used to make the fumes go through lime to neutralize the gases.

Piyush Soni - 2020-06-05

SOCl2 reacts with various organic compounds for chlorination,pls make an video on this

Giovanni Pelissero - 2020-12-28

He always breaks my heart when he destroys all these useful compounds 😭🤣

John Sheppard - 2021-01-02

@Giovanni Pelissero interesting what about nitrosyl chloride!I get a bunch of this stuff while working with aqua regia!

masterlab LAB - 2018-06-29

Great Video ! never seen something as dangerous ! in the last part where you didn't cover the reaction sound you really gave the idea of danger!

ChemicalForce - 2018-07-02

For sound recording we turned off the hood - it was really dangerous :D

Barry Mayson - 2019-12-30

Makes me cough just looking at it!

Ssol 2 - 2018-07-10

Wow...Your video is always nice and awsome! My Thionyl chloride in the university lab is dirty brownish yellow colored. But, yours are very nice clear colorless liquid. I completely agree 'Bromine spilt is nothing compared to Thionyl chloride'I am wondering if you can show us the properties and reactions of about 60% SO3 oleum.

ChemicalForce - 2018-07-10

yes, we have oleum high concentration and SO3 ampule (you could see it in "trailer" video), you can suggest something :)

Ssol 2 - 2018-07-13

It's so cool... I want to see the violent reaction of oleum or SO3 with organics and powerful reducing agents. Also, It would be nice to see the reaction with reactive metals(although it would be less violent than azeotropic sulfuric acid)  Oleum and SO3 is quite mysterious to me. So, I can't think more...

stipe - 2019-09-19

Burning metal pieces under liquid, cool ,)

ˑ - 2018-06-30

Wow! Nice video, like!

ARCHISMAN DAS - 2018-11-15

Awesome experiments. I did not know these before watching. Try to keep it up.

sixstringedthing - 2021-01-06

You know it's some good shit when the bottle starts fuming as soon as it's exposed to air!

lacrthxx14 - 2020-06-19

Nice video! Fuming liquids are always intimidating 😅

Александр Комаров - 2018-06-30

COOL!!!!

Farhan Amin - 2020-03-27

<3 Duuuuuude

cpaoutdoors99 - 2020-01-18

Work with it every day a demon in a drum

ChemicalForce - 2020-01-18

I don't envy you :\

BlAdE - 2020-09-27

Thats terrifying.

stipe - 2020-03-31

Loved the liquid titanium fireworks.

penroc3 - 2019-10-23

just found you and your great

Fra Zet - 2020-06-28

I just bought some tionyl chloride (250 ml 97,5%)

Xgsche Cwhydh - 2021-02-07

The chemistry is that vegetables in the oven with mushrooms

Giovanni Pelissero - 2020-07-29

It's just painful to watch such an useful compound like SOCl being destroyed by water and temperature.
sad

skilstopaybils - 2020-11-20

Now I understand where that red colour comes from in my reactions though. I'll have to watch the temp more closely from now on.

DAREWIN - 2020-08-01

I love your videos !!!

ChemicalForce - 2020-08-05

I love my subs :***

Jm Cresencio - 2020-12-27

I remember having to use thionyl chloride to make an acyl chloride derivative when i was an undergrad, and boy did i make the fume hood snow lol

terawattyear - 2020-01-15

Really enjoyed! Cobalt chloride color changes have always fascinated me. I especially loved the metals in the SOCl2. Lithium looked like a tiny captive reddish sun. Titanium had firework-like sparking trails. Barium and samarium evidently do not like SOCl2. 😯

ChemicalForce - 2020-01-16

The reaction with Sm resulted in something I couldn't expect!

Birgir Snær - 2020-02-06

WHO are you i need a JOB doing this !! please Love Iceland

richardnanis - 2020-03-21

suggestion: make some thioacetone! This is a very stinky substance and hardly anybody dares to make some. And one more suggestion for the video: i would prefer to hear the reaction sounds like boiling, cracking e.g. - dont wipe it out with any music. Or at least turn down the level as much as possible.

Oney's Science - 2021-01-21

I'm pretty sure the offensive scent would be enough to get him in deep shit depending on where this is done. I read that thioacetone can be smelled up to two miles away from the site of synthesis

prize fighter club - 2020-02-20

Bro I have accidentally inhaled some thionyl chloride fumes. Is this OK or need any medical treatment?

ChemicalForce - 2020-02-22

Well, if you don't comment on my new video, seems like you don't need my help anymore. Sorry for the delay :(

Knut Ritter - 2021-02-12

Pretty a standard chemical to create simple acid chlorides... 😉 And btw... acid chlorides taste horrific! 😂

Midhun .M - 2020-03-30

DARZEN'S PROCEDURE😍😍😍😍

Jupiter Chemistry - 2019-10-29

never stop making videos

Edward Science Innovations - 2020-09-19

If I remember correctly, this stuff is used in certain types of batteries.

Richard Castro - 2020-12-25

Sounds like I’m about to take on a doom boss

EMPTY SOUL - 2020-03-03

Now make COCl2

Michael F - 2019-09-16

I need some of that! Where do you get it?

ChemicalForce - 2019-09-21

A couple of fellow chemists lent me some ;)

Amit Joshi - 2021-01-11

@ChemicalForce we are largest Thionyl Chloride manufacturers in India. Our company is Transpek industry Limited, besides Thionyl Chloride we manufacture many acid chlorides and sulphonation
products as well.

Vytautas Eičas - 2018-08-19

Mix it with fuming nitric acid

Vit. Nik. - 2020-04-19

Аggressive substance.

Rahul chauhan - 2019-10-04

Good

kcys34 - 2018-07-05

I have another request - could you detonate some calcium performate? I have never ever seen it being used, I don't even know if it deflagrates or detonates

ChemicalForce - 2018-07-10

Can't answer your question right now

TheRolemodel1337 - 2019-02-15

@ChemicalForce how about now? :p

T P - 2020-01-22

@TheRolemodel1337 Youtube no like boomboom

Lynard Skynard - 2021-01-07

This reminds me of "bubbler" Christmas lights

Ethan Ng - 2018-08-01

Burning titanium powder also can react with Socl2

Haliax - 2019-04-07

I heard somebody say that acetylaldehyde burns with a lavender flame. Is this true?

ChemicalForce - 2019-04-30

Only if in liquid oxygen. Need to ckeck

Haliax - 2019-04-30

@ChemicalForce I would absolutely love to see this.

Görkem Gedikoğlu - 2020-10-29

Fantastic all of them

Truman Burbank - 2018-12-24

Will it react with gold?

ChemicalForce - 2018-12-28

No

Mike G - 2020-04-04

If Lithium is added, does it form lithium thonyl Monochloride?
That is the electrolyte is primary lithium cell.

ScottC - 2019-03-15

It's SOCl2, not SOCL2.

ChemicalForce - 2019-03-16

oops! thank you! corrected

Andy96 - 2020-02-03

SOCL2 would give less tendency for misunderstandings though.

SOCI2 could be understood as Sulfur Oxygen Carbon Iodine...

Master Robotnik - 2020-12-29

=THE ULTIMATE DEHYDRATION AGENT

=HEHE

user21XXL - 2018-06-29

What do you think about concentrated or anhydrous amonia? Sodium in anhydrous amonia would be cool too

ChemicalForce - 2018-07-02

yes, it's planned

Tokaji Leo - 2019-12-31

what about mixing liquified SO2 with liquified H2S ?

Zhu Guanchen - 2020-02-15

That produce sulphur and water

20kilovolt - 2020-08-05

Thionyl chloride is listed as a Schedule 3 substance it is used as a precursor for nerve agents like Sarin.

Немања Николић - 2020-08-21
