Not only you made the first fluoroantimonic acid but also the first clip of 100% pure liquid ozone on internet, every day with you is Christmas
Explosions and fire had a video using liquid ozone from a while back
@chae gibson Concentrated to purple? It needs to be 90+% pure to turn dark purple.
@ブブタン He saw it as purple, but his camera didn't pick it up. Which seems to be the case with all purple compounds he has made.
I swear, if I was a girl I would marry him for his lab.
If my chemistry lecturers had been half as interesting as you sir, lectures would have been packed and no one falling asleep!
If you haven't read "ignition!" it really is a treasure (easily available in PDF just a google away; public domain in the US; they did a limited re-print run a couple of years back). Just about every terrible chemical you can think of was either tried or suggested as a fuel or an oxidizer as long as it had good enough energetics. Nitroglycerine as a monopropellant (it was actually test fired without loss of life!), liquid ozone as a oxidizer, dimethyl mercury as a fuel, chlorine trifluoride as oxidizer (hypergolic with sand, asbestos and test engineers), carbon subnitride as fuel (3 triple bonds in a molecule with 6 atoms).
Here's what it has to say about ozone:
"One other ozone mixture has been considered — that of ozone and fluorine, which was thoroughly investigated during 1961 by A. J. Gaynor of Armour. (Thirty percent of ozone would be optimum for
RP-I.) But the improvement over Flox 70 wouldn't be too impressive, and the thought of what might happen if the ozone in the oxidizer let go on the launching pad and spread the fluorine all over the
landscape was somewhat unnerving, and I have heard of no motor runs with the mixture.
For ozone still explodes. Some investigators believe that the explosions are initiated by traces of organic peroxides in the stuff, which come from traces, say, of oil in the oxygen it was made of.
Other workers are convinced that it's just the nature of ozone to explode, and still others are sure that original sin has something to do with it. So although ozone research has been continuing in a desultory fashion, there are very few true believers left, who are still convinced that ozone will somehow, someday, come into its own. I'm not one of them."
I spent a summer working in a lab whose main research focus was the reaction of ozone with fluorine gas under a variety of conditions -- they were looking at how CFCs react with the ozone layer. The ozone was generated over a couple of days by electrostatic discharge in oxygen, collected in zeolite in glass tubing cooled by a slush of dry ice and methanol. The ozone was absorbed into the molecule-sized pores in the zeolite. This approximates a liquid state, but is considerably safer than pure liquid ozone, a bit like how nitroglycerine becomes much safer when it's absorbed into clay to make dynamite. For an experimental run, the dry ice / methanol slush was gradually dipped out of the cooler, and the ozone evaporated from the zeolite and was passed into the reaction chamber.
Disaster struck one night, with a fire that destroyed the lab. It was determined to have started in the tub with the slush and ozone. Presumably the glass tubing somehow got cracked, allowing methanol to seep in and mix with the ozone/zeolite. This would have combusted spontaneously.
Thank you for sharing your heartbreaking story 😥
Joel: "...the reaction of ozone and fluorine gas..."
Me: terrified whimpering
@Binkophile Heh. This was low-pressure gas-phase stuff, so nowhere near as dire as the stuff that ChemicalForce shows us. This work took place about 35 years ago, and I didn't have a lot of direct involvement with that set of experiments, so I'm uncertain of much of the detail. Considering the nature of the research, it seems likely to me that they would have been looking at the interaction between the fluorine radical (F·) and ozone rather than molecular fluorine, though I'm not certain of that. The radical would be much more reactive than the molecule, though it wouldn't be stored in radical form, but generated from the molecule under experimental conditions.
My own M.Sc. project was about modelling the reaction (F· + H_2 -> HF + H·). My supervisor for that project was a theoretician who did a fair bit of collaboration with the experimentalist whose work I've been describing.
Violet, almost lavender color of ozone is entrancing. Great job capturing the flash of O3—>O2. Yes, greatly enjoyed the vid.
Since Explosions & Fire can't make any more videos for at least several months, you'll have to make up for his absence by making even more videos, haha.
@Yay KRUSER Correction "If Youtube banned him again."
@icandreamstream Maybe he will finally wrap his brain around Yellow Chemistry to truly become friends with it.
Ya
Ah I've just realised I've started my new lab doing yellow chemistry with sulphur!! 😂😂😂
But what about the unstable ozonides. What are their properties?
So glad that this dude did a video on fluoroantimonic acid and busted a popular myth that fluoroantimonic acid is this chemical that just destroys everything on contact and now seeing PURE liquid ozone for the first time was pretty awesome! :)
Wow, you wouldn't expect something like liquid ozone to have the same colour as pen-ink.
Great job! I enjoy watching your videos and explanation of the reactions.
I love to see more color-changing reactions rather than explosion, as someone may try to replicate the reaction without experience/protection and hurt themselves.
You produce all the cool videos no one else does and / or no one can find online! These are awesome and keep up the good work! Cheers!
Thank you for making these videos and sharing these exotic reactions. I appreciate your efforts! What you are doing here is earning yourself an excellent reputation.
2:50 - Finally! Thank you.
I remember reading that liquid ozone had a nice blue color, much darker than that of liquid O2.
I never even saw a picture of it before, until now.
I'm impressed, it really is a beautiful color. Especially at 4:44. Lovely indigo color, almost violet!
Brilliant and totally unexpected! Personally my favourite video from you! Even as a chemist you dont get to see liquid ozone that easily! One suggestion for another exotic substance would be pure H2SO5 (which forms crystals in its pure form) and should also eat through a lot of stuff.
You should try to test the magnetic properties of liquid ozone, put a magnet to it!
You should try some experiments with metallic erbium. It has some pretty extreme reducing abilities. You could try reducing TiO2 or ZrO2 with it.
Super interesting and I love how you get right to the reactions so concisely!
Love the info so abstract yet practical in some ways. Ive always been fascinated by chemistry was actually my highest grade in high school and now I work in metallurgy and it gets me more and more intrigued into the combination of these to subjects
Awesome video! I've used ozone for sanitization for many years. It's amazing to see it as an indigo violet colored liquid. It looks as strong as it smells!
It is quite possible this is the first video with nearly pure liquid ozone online. It's a shame it took this long, but better now than never.
I suggest you try to solidify it. Play with magnetic properties of it. Also, try to saturate carbon tetrachloride with ozone.
@Comrad Sam Hypothermia is an illness, dude.
You mean supercooling?
@Comrad Sam That's called supercooling. Never ever do literal translations. That's not how languages work.
I doubt supercooling would even appear with impure samples, and even if it did, it would be manageable.
Really neat demo and testing procedures! Thanks for sharing!
Seeing liquid ozone for the first time was quite an exhilarating experience. Thank you, sir. :)
The colour is beautiful! I guess in reality it looks even nicer. The explosions were pretty scary though :D
The liquid O2/O3 floating and mixing with KI was strangely beautiful. Well played
Could you make a video on carbon suboxide or subsulfide? Love your videos man, keep them up. They never fail to be fascinating and/or enlightening
Just so informative and lovely to watch ! Amazing work 👍
I love the colour of liquid Ozone, and the smell of it is refreshing. I know, it's bad for you (and other things) but still, the smell is nice in small quantities.
Keep up the good work Mr Chemical Force, you show some truly unique chemistry that is hard to find anywhere on the net.
Considering your knowledge and what you have access to you should have soooo many more subscribers.
A question: could you use ozone to make heavy metal ions more insoluble in water through the change of their oxidation states? If you could clean water wastes like this, or at least a bit of it, it would perhaps be a relativly cheap approach. Of course it would not affect all kind of metal ions , since not all have various oxidation states and some of those still have a good solubility in the changed oxidation state.
By the way, the continuous and monotone music in the video background is distracting. Do not know, how others think about it and how they would perceive either a silent background or perhaps classical music, or folklore or whatever non-monotone, non-repeating sound in the background.
I like this one a lot because it demonstrates the impact sensitivity of Ozone, which is a property that I wasn't aware of. I knew it's explosive, but I guess I didn't really think about its actual explosive properties outside of detonation with a flame.
I discovered you recently, I follow many chemical channels but your content always surprises me. Thanks to your videos my desire to continue my career in chemistry increases. Greetings from Chile!
Could a magnet be used as a filter or collector to make liquid O3 more efficient?
BTW, your videos are outstanding. They are educational and entertaining.
Your videos are always amazing! Love your content
I have wanted to see this happen for DECADES since I was a kid and saw a big cryogenic storage tank on a tour of NASA that said "DANGER: OZONE REFRIGERATED LIQUID". The Explosions and Fire videos were the first time I've ever seen that quantum mechanical 3 body process-caused deep cobalt blue of the liquid, but this is the first time I've ever seen the true explosive decomposition!! It's amazing! Is the flash purely incandescence from the violence and heat, or if the plastic tube was burning, or if there was some chemiluminescence!
You keep showing us substances and reactions I never expected to actually see. If anyone's going to get HD footage of dioxygen diflouride (the infamous "FOOF") reacting with stuff, I predict it's you. But please don't blow yourself up :)
I suddenly crave good quality slow mo footage of extremely rare chemical explosions haha!
Keep up the great work i'm sure you will get more subs in no time
Hi that was absolutely fantastic to see firstly the real colour of liquid ozone but even more so to see it detonate as Ive only read about such things in old chem books! keepup the great work.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Years ago a chemistry nerd friend of mine pointed out that (at one atmosphere) the melting point of ozone is below the melting point of acetylene, which would allow for the preparation of a "slush" of liquid ozone and acetylene snow.
One doesn't get many friends like that.
Its so fun to explore different allotropes of elements that we don't often get to see. Such a shame that ozone is so unstable so reactions with it are hard, but on the flip side it gives us these neat explosions!
Side note, you should collaborate with Explosions & Fire to make some explosives out of really exotic elements some day.
I think he does have a colab with E&F
Interesting: we use MnO2 flakes to convert ozone back to oxygen in our 'destructors'.
Also important to note that anyone messing around with ozone needs to recognize that it is VERY irritating to lung tissue and could potentially kill you if you got a heavy enough whiff. Also may initiate asthma attacks. Use in a VERY well ventilated area at a bare minimum. A hood would be better and certainly eye protection if getting to the explosive phases.
Another excellent video! Until now, I'd never even seen a picture of concentrated liquid ozone. It's a very nice color.
Best ozone generator video ever, I didn't know it needs to be pre-dried. Great tip!
4:44 I can't believe how blue liquid ozone is. It's beautiful.
Liquid oxygen has also a blueish tint.
Great book "Ignition". When rockets were learning to fly, and more often went under launch table then to space, ozone was attemted as fuel. Too agressive, so diluted with LOX. These were the only rocket engines, which exploded some time after stop. Can you guess why, without reading it? )))))))
What an awesome video, thank you!
That pure liquid ozone must've been gorgeous in person. It's unfortunate that so many beautifully colored compounds are so nasty. Green arsenic and orange uranium fiestaware comes to mind.
You have the most unique materials and experiments as well as the best equipment. I keep coming back for more.
I really enjoyed the video. Your content is original and interesting, I hope you can make many more my grandsons are getting started and I will make them like science and learning with content like yours that will be easy because as we all know boys like fire and explosions!!! Thank you sir!
in 60s 70s people thought in future O3 will be used to power rockets as the oxidizer! Thank goodness ,we don't do that.
No, "they" didn't. It was just an idea that got abandoned faster than it emerged.
Yeah, this was actually tested in rocket engines. They couldn't stop the spontaneous explosions from decomposition- which sometimes happened 10 minutes after shutting down the engine.
(Recommended reading: Ignition! the informal history of liquid rocket propellants.)
Great oxidiser, possibly the best!
Handling and storing it... yeeeahhhh, not so simple. :D
(Second the recommendation to read Dr Clark's book, one of the best!)
@Phoe Phoe Yep, I was just about to mention Ignition as well, If nothing else, then for his quote on Ozone future in rocket propellent:
"Because Ozone still explodes, Some say it has something to do with impurities in manufacture, and others think original sin has something to do with it and some think it is just the nature of ozone to explode.
Some people think ozone will come to it's own in the future, however I'm not one of them."
(I may have gotten the quote wrong as I went from memory...)
@Søren Koch Actually it is the invisible alien spaceship who monitors us humans and every time they see us creating liquid ozone, they disintegrate it with a special radiation cannon so that the humanity does not take over the universe.
The Ag4O4 was the black precipitate? Did it undergo photoreduction? How stable was it?
Thanks for the great videos :)
Now you need a slow motion camera to complete the amazing set you have! Thanks for these excaptional videos!
