    can I use this same way to make tetrachloromethane (burning carbon in chlorine gas)?

    • @THYZOID
      @THYZOID  2 роки тому +2

      At an amateur level this reaction is either impossible to carry out or itll give extremely low yields. To work high pressures and temperatures are likely required. A variety of other chlorides like silicon tetrachloride, phosphorus pentachloride and even sulfur or arsenic chlorides can be aquired this way (yield might be low with some of the reactions).

      TCCA turned out to be the best way of generating Cl2 for me. No aggressive bubbling, less toxic byproducts, cheap chemicals and a high yield.

      There is no reason ,,, You can use any method for making Cl2 gas ,,, TCCA is cheap and very easy to buy where he lives,,, for me , i use calcium hypochlorite which is the "easy to buy pool chlorine." You can use MnO2 if you want.

      Other titanium chlorides. I first thought about iron impurities but quickly dismissed that initial guess because I used nearly pure Ti.

      It is a valuable catalyst for a variety of preparations. But it is mainly known for its ability to produce massive amounts of smoke which lead to it being used to create smoke screens in wars for hiding ships.

    As most of the time I would say "Recreate this experiment only when you can do it safely *list all dangers*.Be careful when recreating this experiment.", But with TiCl4 is soooo dangerous, that here it is really necessairy to say DO NOT DO IT. 90% of amateurs would definetly die when doing it.
