"Decaborane costs almost $200 per gram"
lights it on fire

Michael Bell - 2021-01-04

But as with all boranes, it burns with a lovely green color.

Rob Kirke - 2020-02-02

8:00 I could imagine Explosions & Fire's commentary :
"Ah, nahhh. See. It's going yellow. This is not good. "
BANG
"AAAHH F**. NOW I NEED TO BUY MORE TILES. I F** HATE YELLOW CHEMISTRY!"

Rogue Anuerz - 2020-04-04

fire&explosion

Dead Pool - 2020-04-05

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

ThalAquatics - 2020-06-10

Except it actually exploded so hed still be stoked

Yellow Chemist - 2020-09-07

Ah yes

Thatdrumdude - 2018-03-17

That Nitric Acid reaction at the end was crazy.

Are you doing all of this at a college or something. You have a surprising access to some crazy chemicals.

ChemicalForce - 2018-03-19

we worked in the supply of chemicals sector, there are some illiquid chemicals left, including some exotic, but if it will be popular content we can show more.

Thatdrumdude - 2018-03-20

Good sir, I will watch your channel for the rest of my life if you keep putting out these videos. I love Chemical reaction videos and you are giving us great content. We've seen all of the normal reactions, you're bring us something new.

Please run this channel for the rest of your life XD.

Oak_meadow - 2020-01-22

One last request - could you do the ketene lamp and synthesis of acetic anhydride.

BackYard Science 2000 - 2020-09-03

@ChemicalForce I would also like to see you perform the ketene lamp route for synthesizing acetic anhydride. Doug's lab made a good video on the subject, but I believe that you could do a lot better job at it.

user21XXL - 2018-04-04

manganese heptoxide and Decaborane - this should explode

Kuro_Somato - 2019-01-11

Do you want to kill him? Maybe even stronger oxidisers

GRBTutorials - 2020-01-11

Manganese heptoxide? That's for noobs... minimum liquid fluorine! Some liquid FOOF would be better, though.

Californium-252 - 2020-03-03

Oxygen (II) fluoride!

Chris47368 - 2020-07-23

What is wrong with you all noobs?





I say chlorine trifluoride + decaborane....

TheTKPizza - 2018-03-18

Keep up the good stuff, already recommended your channel to several of my fellow chemistry students. :)

ChemicalForce - 2018-03-19

Thx! We try to keep the brand :D

Vytautas Eičas - 2019-06-01

Decaborane(in solid form and dissolve in carbon disulfide) reaction with liquid chlorine

Adam Steidl - 2019-01-07

That last bit was quite a bit energetic!

Kasey Casey - 2020-12-18

Nitric acid supporting detonation under specific conditions? HNO3 is a component of some HE mixtures.

Adam ChemLab - 2019-09-16

let's mix a hydrocarbon-like compound, very reactive with fuming nitric acid, which can be "rude" in reactions with hydrocarbons ... what could happen?

Rhodanide - 2018-05-01

Yeah, I was expecting a detonation to occur w/ the WFNA.

Miles Cheung - 2018-05-18

You're insane

Vytautas Eičas - 2018-05-24

Acetonitrile and decaborane reaction

coool ssg - 2018-12-24

How about a azoazide azide explosion reaction!!!!

ChemicalForce - 2018-12-28

Oh, it is very dangerous

Someone - 2020-05-22

ChemicalForce watch explosions and fire’s video about it

Rhodanide - 2018-05-01

I'll admit, 5:44 made me jump. Well done with the video, I'm excited to see what's up next!

BackYard Science 2000 - 2020-09-03

Haha! It made me jump as well. 😂

masterlab LAB - 2018-06-03

a big mess of reaction lol 7.09

Art Cox - 2018-03-17

Phenomenal content, pleas keep them coming!

Yay KRUSER - 2020-02-13

holy ... didnt expect this with the nitric acid!

M F - 2018-03-18

Your videos are really awesome! Please keep up the great work!

Jeszy Emece - 2018-03-18

Amazing!

Sean - 2020-12-07

"little less conversation, little more action"! Lol

skagsux - 2020-05-14

This channel is sick. Exotic reactions and nice music, what more do you need :)

Libor Tinka - 2018-11-07

Could you some time make a video about Tetraline (tetrahydronaphthalene)? It is not really an exotic chemical, but it would be interesting to see some of its reactions, like production of pure dry hydrogen bromide gas when mixed with elemental bromine.

joe estes - 2018-03-26

Great video!, i subscribed! You make chemistry fun!

Eph-Jay Music - 2020-03-01

That nitric acid reaction was stupendous!!!!! Thank you for the most brilliant chemical content!!! ❤️🎇

ChemicalForce - 2020-03-01

Very pleased to hear! Your feedback makes me keep on going!❤️ Psst... new video tomorrow (or after tomorrow :D)

Eph-Jay Music - 2020-03-01

@ChemicalForce yesssss

skynet6510 - 2020-05-15

Love the passion you have for chemistry.

ChemicalForce - 2020-05-18

<3

Blue Vortex - 2019-02-22

These are some real cool experiments I haven't seen anywhere ;I'm absolutely compelled to give it a like!

Александр Комаров - 2018-03-17

WOW!!!!

Martin MIKULCIK - 2018-09-12

wow the decaborane and nitric its very explosive!

David Sanchez - 2018-03-18

Show us useful chemical combination for survival situation. Thank you.

MH L - 2020-02-06

The reaction with the nitric acid was pretty unexpectedly powerful.

Vaza - 2018-03-26

Randomly found your channel, and instantly subscribed. Great content, I hope to see more of this coming! I don't know much about chemical reactions myself, so I can't give any suggestions, but hopefully you won't run out of ideas any time soon :3


Btw, why is your subscriber count private? o:
Are you waiting for more activity before you dare to give any first impressions based on numbers?

ChemicalForce - 2018-03-26

thx, Ideas will run out when the chemicals run out :D I'll open counter after 1-2 videos :)

JP Montello Dr.Phosphorus - 2018-05-24

can you burn some beryllium metal? I would do it but it's pretty hazardous

ChemicalForce - 2018-05-25

Yes, we have Be but I think it will not burn like magnesium, may be powder

SidewindeR - 2021-01-13

The background music made me feel like I was watching Samurai Cop

KuznVinny - 2019-07-27

Admittedly, at first your accent (despite your excellent English) did distract me, however once the video got going past the talk phase, I really enjoyed it. Thanks for posting.

Rob Kirke - 2020-02-02

I enjoy hearing the diversity of accents on YouTube. Kreosan, Thoisoi, Big Clive, Joerg Sprave, Scott Manley,, GreatScott, The Hydraulic Press Channel - all great channels, and some of them have become even more popular because of the distinctive accents. I discovered the channel through EX&F, and I've been trying to guess Feliks' acent for a while now. I probably have this completely wrong, so I hope I don't cause offence, but I'm gonna guess maybe Portugese?

Ángel Costa - 2020-03-31

I guess he's Russian

Alexander Redka - 2021-01-11

awesome soundtrack from battletoads level 4, double like dude great video

ChemicalForce - 2021-01-12

Yeah, Arctic Caverns :D thanks

nageswaran kayalu Yeddu raju - 2020-12-20

Chemical reaction on the smell and feel you please request sir experiment

Ludwig Ludwig - 2019-12-21

Duogynon from Schering was my first love! It only hurts me and my parents.

Nathan Brydn - 2020-10-27

Time chart in the description is +2 #enjoylife 🖐️

Vytautas Eičas - 2018-05-25

What's will happen if you mix decaborane and concentrated sulfuric acid?

MontSaintLeon Dr - 2020-11-09

Can you make any Fluorine videos? Like F2 liquid + LiAlH4? Please!

fft2020 - 2020-03-16

Very expensive substance, lets set it on fire without further due

Barry Mayson - 2019-12-30

You have some excellent production values here camera working and close up shots with well laid out system to see how reactions happen. Excellent work with editing and simple explanations to go along with it.

That Chemist - 2019-12-28

How the heck do you keep all of your stuff so clean!?!

Cameron Gonzalez - 2020-01-20

This is my new favorite channel

JP Montello Dr.Phosphorus - 2018-05-24

also can you do the reaction of fluorine with sand and water? Supposedly it's pretty explosive with sand. if you put a tube of fluorine under water it would be cool to see the fire underwater too!

ChemicalForce - 2018-05-25

We don't yet have fluorine, that reagent for a million subscribers ;)

nageswaran kayalu Yeddu raju - 2020-12-20

request chemical reaction translate failure request sir

Travis Heck - 2019-03-12

Damn that must have been a 50-100 gram bottle of decaborane.... and you say it goes for 50$ on the low end? 2500$ bottle of powder?! Damn dude

ChemicalForce - 2019-03-16

Anything goes when it comes to making a cool video! :D

Mike G - 2020-04-14

Dave B - 2021-01-22

What country are you from? I cant figure out your accent ?

SoyBoy - 2020-09-17

Well, I thought it's gonna explode. But I would have never guessed it bubbling up like that / the color change. However that looked like a crazy powerful explosion...

TheRolemodel1337 - 2019-02-14

would it be as touch sensitive using a perchlorate instead of a chlorate?

ChemicalForce - 2019-02-16

didn't check it
