Making my favorite liquid carcinogen

NileRed - 2019-09-27

In this video, I make one of my favorite chemicals, which is a nice and carcinogenic chromium-based liquid.

I think I made a mistake with my calculations and I didn't actually use NaCl in excess. At 100g NaCl, the dichromate is actually the limiting reagent and this definitely cut into my yield. I was basing my prep on my last chromyl chloride video and I think I just propagated that error forward. I should've used at least 130g NaCl instead, and if i were to do this again, I'd probably use like 150-160g.

Mr Nelsonius - 2021-03-03

@unknow unknown I get this. If I were a chemist I’d probably be like “I’m tired of yellow compounds just give me some of this aesthetically interesting carcinogen plz”

Jo Mar - 2021-03-08

Its really fun

@Jason S Savitt Yes but it doesn't do so at ambient temperature. Chromyl chloride does. That was the point of the comment.

Vinegar Doppio - 2021-03-06

Look up the toxic lady, her blood fumed because of things in her blood and killed everyone in the room.

Achilles Lade - 2021-03-06

@Vinegar Doppio Wow that's insane. Apparently she had lethal amounts of dimethyl sulfate in her bloodstream due to self-administration of dimethyl sulfoxide. Dimethyl sulfate is a DNA alkylating agent, analogous to the effects of mustard gas. This woman had literal mustard gas in her bloodstream.

@AvidCloud sulphuric acid isnt even close to a strong acid on a list of strongest acids . Super acid are basically acids that are stronger than pure sulphuric acid and it's a decently long list .Even oleum is a much stronger acid while carborane acid , flurosulphuric acid and fluroantimonic acid are a million times stronger
