Extractions&Ire - 2019-07-14
After the wild chemistry last time, can we get any product out? Spoiler: yes, but how?? Thanks Science, very Cool. Main channel video here: https://youtu.be/I-ZawsbYpmo We are once again following this paper, on a smaller scale: "Tetrasulfur Tetranitride, S4N4" (Jan 1967) https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/9780470132401.ch26 Twitter: https://twitter.com/Explosions_Fire Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ExplosionsandFire Subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ExplosionsAndFire Join the Discord!! https://discord.gg/VR6Fz9g
Ever hear of the Golden Book of Chemistry Experiments? You can get a copy in PDF, and while it's really oriented towards young teens it's full of some rather surprising things... like page 32 with a little blurb on making Nitrogen Dioxide in a test tube.
EDIT: Guess I could elaborate, it's from 1960 and has a lot of offsides info on unusual sources for chemicals and some really interesting low-budget equipment setups. Oh, and enough "hazardous" amateur chemistry to get it pulled...
God I love the 60s😂
Awesome book. Thank you.
8:49: "... I would be flying into an inconsolable rage..." - that sir, made me lol so hard it almost hurt. I am happy your hard work paid off. Only to clean all that up... 😅 thanks man!
It’d be cool to see you wash your equipment, maybe as a livestream?
Hey good news is that I haven't cleaned the glassware for the last 2 months so it's all dirty, this might happen! Although it does sound a bit boring :P
@@ExtractionsAndIre Knowing you there will be lots of swearing about sulfur and breaking of glassware - very entertaining
@@ExtractionsAndIre Q&A while cleaning glassware would be amazing.
Extractions&Ire are you going to do a follow up on explosive plants
@@ExtractionsAndIre Do you use Piranha Solution to clean your glassware, or rather, can you?
ROFL! "Smells like if your dog had really runny shit and its diet consisted of 50% tires and 50% normal food." God damn dude, thank you for that. This was a great episode those crystals were beautiful!
soxhilic extraction
Tolulene
For a collegue... you awake the passion many years ago take to study chemistry and try to master it! Keep it up!
What a journey! Awesome to watch, beautiful final product!
Nice job man !!! Keep up the good posts 🙏🏼
The graphic descriptions of the various smells are definately a part of the fun watching this kind of video. :)
Your descriptions of smell is hilarious. The bit about the dog eating tire bits and regular food and then turd..
you actually do such a great job at describing smells xP
the way you described the smell of this was fucking funny, well done mate keep up the good humor and chemestry
Thanks mate! I come across many bad smells, I'm glad I'm getting better at describing them
Very cool man!
I've been sort of a "back yard chemist" for years and your videos always inspire me to try new synthesis. Keep up the great work!
Thanks, glad you like the videos, stay safe always though!
I appreciate your reply, thanks.
I have a perfect record so far concerning safety; I'd very much like to keep it that way (along with all my fingers, sight/hearing, hair/skin, home, etc. etc.). Excellent advice.
Nice work.
Ah, Melbourne Bitter (Beer) and dangerous chemicals. My kind of YouTube Channel.
Liking the dolmio glassware
Great chemistry there. Just wondering... Could you make Polythiazyl? It looks and behaves like metal wool, apparently. Seems interesting stuff.
finally there is somebody, that makes as bad examples as me xD
Starts talking and realizes half way through he doesn't know how to finish the comparison and thinks of just some random crap
Duuuude! Explosions and fire needs some love too..
Why the fuck do you only have 7500 subscribers, it's all there, memes, quality and explosives... I found you around 5 am this morning and you are now all over my feed 😂 keep it going man
4 years later, nearly 200k on this side channel 🎉
@@hayuseen6683 yeah , he had to blow up
Mix it with potasium chlorate
You should release some of your more risky experiments on BitChute, where people care less about warnings. Then release a short YouTube video to advertise the BitChute one. If someone is capable of making S4N4, it's highly likely that they know the risks, everyone else just likes watching. Fantastic video mate, I love your content.
Appreciated
Wow, that intensely pink smoke. I don't think I've ever seen such a pink product before.
Even if that was an optimized procedure, my nose would tell me F'that!
La quimica es pasión pura , aquí la encontré, Gracias.
Thank you for putting me to sleep every night <33
I actually want to know how you clean your glassware
Soxhlet. Just say "socks" and "let". Voila. Soxhlet ;)
Disulfur dichloride is probably the most putrid stuff I've ever made. Sulfur stench, but sour like old vomit. Marvelous stuff.
Great channel! Channels! Going to binge from the beginning...
Someone should replicate NurdRage's tertiary alcohol catalyzed reduction of sodium - you might be the guy.
Love ya, Tom!
Xoxoxooxoxoxox
It would be fun to watch you mess around with trying to use the chemicals you produce in a rocket
Amazing how many compounds are there among metals and non metals.
Being that "metals and non-metals" describes every single element under the sun... is it really that amazing?
@@a2pabmb2 yeah
"it smells like if your dog had a really runny shit; like if it's diet consisted of 50% tires and 50% normal food" - ah yes, i have this experience with every new dog i get. doesn't last long, but it's pungent.
Gotta love that the paper is from the sixties.
Actually a great decade for finding papers for home chem!
Nice tutorial. I only understood 10% of it, but I think I could wing it.
If you watch a youtube synthesis of an obscenely yellow chemical, do you dislike it?
Maybe I enjoy it more when someone else does it, like a sick fascination. Horror movie where you don't watch to watch but you do it anyway
Weird flex, but okay
@@gabrielgray817 Lol, weird definition of flex, but okay.
Odd comment on a slang definition of flex, but acceptable
@@gabrielgray817 Slang is an odd way of spelling wrong. Maybe study up on the definition of "brag".
What was that musiccc in the timelaps, human music???
Btw warp is my favorite song by you guys
Always curious about whose music you're rocking on these vids. Sometimes I think it sounds like Autechre.
it's aphex twin unreleased tracks that got uploaded anonymously a long time ago
@@Mister_Brown Yeah it always reminded me of AFX too but I was always automatically thinking "Tom wouldn't upload copyrighted musics... unless he has some special relationship where AFX is actually letting him use his tracks???" I didn't know that unreleased tracks had been put online. Now I know!
YEAH!!!!
Here is an Idea for a Video try to extract Potassium from Potash
Very fitting for Bastille Day!
Oh yeah! Everyone can blow some S4N4 up for France
how did you get the chemicals you are using?
Wait, I'm pretty sure I was subscribed to your channel, now I'm not and I was actually looking for your channel for a while but couldn't find it. Did your channel disappear or it's a new channel or what? I'm so confused...
Right on man , i thought they banned you bro , you have no links on your old channels , i watched all your videos form the old channel and was disappointed to see you gone bro
His old channel basically got deleted but this one's been still going, and there's a new explosionsandfire. I find it hilarious that someone on YouTube thinks that a child might actually recreate THIS. Anyone remotely capable of using these videos to make bombs could just as easily (more easily) read the academic papers he's basing the stuff off of.
Would you like to make some Dinitroacetylene ? By mixing N2O4 and Calcium Carbide in DCM.
have you tryed to make floral antimonic acid?
No
But @chemical force has a video on it
@terawattyear - 2019-07-14
Nice clean crystallization! I guess you saw the Wikipedia article on S4N4 where they state "S4N4 is thermochromic, changing from pale yellow below −30 °C to orange at room temperature to deep red above 100 °C". This stuff can actually be yellow and still be the product you wanted!
@ExplosionsAndFire - 2019-07-16
I think the dioxane solution was a lot more red when hot during the soxhlet extraction too, so perhaps I was too quick to dismiss it. But the procedure calls for slow, room temp evaporation of the dioxane to avoid any explosions, and I didn't think it was worth that risk and excessive time unless I thought I was going to get a product out that was better than I already had
