Doug's Lab - 2014-04-03
In this video, I demonstrate one way to make chlorine gas while exploring some of its properties. I also explain how to set up various kinds of gas drying tubes which will be used to provide dry chlorine for upcoming experiments.
gloves?
Wear gloves...
Doug I miss your professional and educational videos...
I agree :-( Haven't seen any of them in a long time. Also, sometimes I see a video on someone elses channel and realize it's actually someone that re-uploaded a video of his that isn't on his channel (assuming it got deleted for whatever reason). Makes me wonder how many other DougsLab videos out there I haven't seen because they're on someone elses channel.
COME BACK DOUG!
8:43 - Don't take that milky rip!
Where do you get your equipment?
Ebay,amazon,ferrament
@Fabri Ferrament? Is that a marketplace that I'm not aware of? Or are you calling him a tool in Portuguese? lol
@J H ?😂 sorry i say ferrament but i obvius failed.. it is the hardwere store( in italian ferramenta)
@Fabri Ohh ok. I'm in America, so I tried to Google it but it just left me more confused, haha. Thx though.
@J H 😉😂
30 seconds of intro...
You should go over the reaction of chlorine and hydrogen!
Use sodium carbonate spray instead. Much faster reaction rate
"Please do not try"= "Try! Do it! DO IT!"
What's up with your hands hahahah You make awesome videos :D :D
Great videos, well made!
Gas drying apparatus = how to make a bong in the lab! Hahaha...
Great to see your video
And thanks for your contribution
I would like to know about this apparatus setup to create chlorine
Where to buy it and whats all its names
Thank you
doug, i made homemade liquid nitrogen....and just with saying i put it in a glass container i think is enough, i try a metal container and it didnt went too good some other options pls!( i all ready blow my freezer)
Great video. Keep up the great work. I love your lab.
Love the channel
Does sodium hypochlorite work?
Hi Doug, do sodium thiosulfate or ascorbic acid solution work similarly effectively to sodium bicarbonate solution for removing chlorine vapour/ trapping excess chlorine in a gas washing bottle?
What would happen if you dissolve the hypochlorite in water first. Maybe more control over the process?
For how long can you store chlorine gas?
No more rats for this guy
I got a gophers number now...
How Is this legal if if so some crazy shit😂😂
how did these procedures get developed?
nelsdawgy through experimentation
this is quite helpful for chemistry students ..for not just cramming the equations but understanding them as well🤗🤗thanku..make more videos according to student need plz. like how different reactions occurs in practical.thanku it was helpful
Could you use a gas trap to remove water during simple distillation, rather than using a fractional setup?
Whats the purpose of drying a gas?
Remove the water that is mixed with the chlorine.
Yep. Think of the word drying" being replaced by "de-hydrate" (as in dehydrated raisins) and that is the logic! Most experiments either produce H20, so require dehydration afterward; Other experiments can't tolerate water (such as air humidity) so require drying BEFORE hand....And so that's the purpose!
This is a very contextual example of why you would want to dry a gas.
Chlorine reacts with water to form hydrochloric and hypochlorous acid.
Chlorine reacts with calcium hydroxide to form calcium chloride, calcium hypochlorite and water.
Calcium hypochlorite reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce chlorine, calcium chloride and water.
People react chlorine with water to make hydrochloric acid.
People react chlorine with calcium hydroxide to make calcium hypochlorite.
This calcium hypochlorite is reacted with hydrochloric acid to generate chlorine gas.
In order to make the hypochlorite, you would want to keep the water away from it, because that would react with chlorine to form hydrochloric acid, which would react with your hypochlorite product that you're trying to make.
This is a very contextual example of why you would want to dry a gas.
To make it not wet duhh
is silica gel a good dessicant?
jakub rembacz well, i have no experience with it, but a bunch of table salt or a bit of hydroxide lye will do the trick
Firehoax what do you mean?
sorry thought you mean something else and thanks for sharing this information
Why the glass funnel & not a plastic one?
It's actually rather sad to see the chlorine paranoia being prevalent even among chemists. After the countless of times I've been running chlorine generators without any ventilation or fume hood I've completely lost my fear of it. Sure it's very uncomfortable, you're coughing like hell and your capacity to breathe/inhale is decreased as your lungs fill with water -- but it takes a lot for it to actually kill anyone. Your mouth and throat feels dry for days! But your lungs recover in a few hours.
it causes long term damage
jakub rembacz wow, just regained my lung capacity in an hour
THE-ONE-CROBC-METAL And chlorine is basically dangerous because it form HCl acid when tuched to water. That is what causes the damage.
@Maanuve NO2 is worse than chlorine in my opinion.
It’s taken it’s toll on your health whether or not you feel it now or do not feel it now. Some shit gets in you the long run.
You really should put a teflon tape or use grease for your glass joints, otherwise, a lot of chlorine will escape.
I am going to build a fumehood, but I have no place to put it. If I put it outside it kinda defeats the purpose. What should I do?
Get rid if your parents.
Camroc37 just do experiment outside
@Erwin Rommel I've just been doing that.
While producing 5000kgs of caustic , it will produce 4250 kgs of Chlorine asa co product . While 600 kgs Chlorine will be utilized to produce Sodium Hypo chlorite balance 3650 kgs of wet chlorine gas has to be utilized Hence the kindly tell me about Chlorine utilization. Liquefying Chlorine is not a viable option.
Please reply sir
Moking Sar not sure what you're asking
Why that the chlorine gas doesn’t go out from tube ?
Hey nice vacuum/air/water lines. How big is your hood, do you have a lab tour?
For neutralizing acid vapors I use dilute ammonia in a bottle, it has the advantage of smoking so you know when it reacts, but I wonder if it will not react with Cl2
@TheBackyardScientist It would make chloramine which is just as bad as Cl2
+TheChemistryShack well, not as bad, the Golden Book of Chemistry recommends it in fact. Now that I think about it... yep, it's probably even worse.
Based on your comment, I think your researching (or researched, 6 yrs is a long time) mustard gas. Knowing you, that’s VERY,
V E R Y B A D
Is this mustard gas?
no that's a sulphur something mixture
cloreen is just cloreen
Arbiol Sulejmani yes it's chlorine but the best know fact in ww1 was mustard gas known as chlorine
BLOODREDGAMING no, chlorine gas and mustard gas are two different gases. This is straight up chlorine.
No. Mustard has a few different properties from chlorine gas. As far as I can tell you, it's still deadly.
Can you do a fluorine gas generator but not with glass somthing that doesn't react like nickel which forms a protective layer when it reacts with the fluorine .
Do you not know how dangerous fluorine is? Look it up. For example, it can react with water to make the extremely dangerous hydrofluoric acid.
@Mia Mama yes I do I actuly have hf but I don't have a nickel pressure vessel to use to contain the fluorine gas that will react with the fluorine to create a protective layer unlike the silicon in glass that will corrode when exposed to fluorine . I know all about the dangers of fluoride chemistry and just like alkali metals the halogen gases are dangerous and reactive .
Derek Washuck have you tried silver plated glass like from Tollen’s reagent? I don’t believe HF reacts with silver, never knew about Nickle.
Technically by electrolizing potassium biflouride you should get flourine gas at the anode, but the problem would be getting the nickel equipment and container to store it some how. Don't play around with fluorine, it is very dangerous. Be safe
i made chlorine
with hydrolysis....
INVISIBLE SUN nice
I don't think I'd have the nerve to attempt chlorine gas production.
@o 44 It's actually not a nerve agent. You can use nerve agents for gas warfare, but they work on a different mechanism then Chlorine gas.
I wouldn't have thought about that joke.
@Stefan Gadshijew u wouldnt hav thought about it cuz ur a dumbass
@o 44 It does not affect nerve cells, it affects lung cells and causes pulmonary edema
Big Boi Neptune which causes the N e R v E c E l L s to die, idiot
Am I questioning a fight that happened a year ago?
I’ve made it and inhaled it
Ryan Murphy Not the wisest choice, but education demands sacrifice.
Me too! It hurt
It must smell nice huh?
[ADHD intensifies]
His lab looks like a meth lab
Yes chlorine can be deadly, but in the CHEM3000 booklet, it shows how to make chlorine and instructs the chemist to GET A WHIFF of chlorine! Of course I would never be retarded enough to do that.
+Science@pproved Oh hear that? It's the sound of paranoid chemist's! No for real... ive handled chlorine and oh look, im still alive!
+Maanuve
l:-(
appeal to absurdity isnt very scientific

I have a pair of skin tones gloves also
sukhyun jung - 2019-09-22
CHLORINE GAS IS POISONOUS and also was used in ww1 and ww11
J H - 2020-02-05
@sukhyun jung Lol... That was one of the first things he said in the video... And how is that related to the skin-toned gloves? (I have a feeling you replied to the wrong comment :-P )
