I love your videos, why did you stop posting? I enjoy them sooo much and they also help me to know more about chemistry since I love chemistry so much. have a nice day
I've done that a lot actually, but never filmed it. Actually my original idea for this video was to make colored versions of 'rocket candy' as it's called, but it didn't really work out. It's on the list of videos to make!
After reading about it And it's hazards, methanol seems kinda like a boogie man of chemicals, is it as bad as they say toxicity wise? Especially with so many people using it recreationally
NO, THAT IS BS. In MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCES, it's vapors are harmless, no irritation of nose throat or eyes, I didn't feel nauseous or anything, I couldn't even smell it, I have gotten it on my skin and it never irritated me, it is only dangerous when ingested, 10 milliliters can blind you and 30 milliliters can kill you. Just don't drink it, don't intentionally sniff it, wear goggles, and wear gloves and you will be fine. Methanol however is "known to the state of California to cause cancer" but just about everything (including aspirin, testosterone, wood, leather, toluene, and xylene) is known to the state of California to cause cancer. But it is no big deal unless you ingest it, inhale very large amounts of it's vapors, get it in your eyes, or bathe in it.
Interestingly the "antidote" to methanol ingestion is to drink regular alcohol! It's not that toxic until metabolized by the liver, so the idea is to flood the liver with ethanol before the methanol has a chance to get there. Still, don't drink it! It WILL blind and probably kill you. Regardless of how benign or toxic a chemical may be, it's always a good idea to wear gloves and goggles when working with things.
Now that. That is some cool fire
Lots of color that's awesome...
Great video! You really bring these experiments to life!
I seen the purple shortly after you said we should see it soon. it blended to green so smoothly
Happy fourth love your vids :) !!!
A lovely video today :)
omg you're so good at this
Cersei Lannister approve this video
Long may she reign!
happy 4th!
happy fourth of July!
I just mixed potassium nitrate and sugar and filled a balloon with hydrogen for my chemistry fireworks
Oh damn hey

I'm still here! I've just had a lot going on recently. I have several things in the works though. It's possible I try to do too many things at once.
@@mrhomescientist thank you for your response, I am so glad that you didn't end 😅
whered you get that strontium chloride because that bottle looks really similar to mine from benchmark chemistry
Mine was from MakerShed. I bought a bunch of stuff when they were closing out their chemistry section. Sad day, but I got some good deals!
mrhomescientist oh i wish they sitll had that open. thanks for the answer too. i love your channel a lot
Thank you very much!
+brainy the amateur chemist you can get it from road flares, it actually doesn't need methanol to burn, it burns on its own.
this is a lot to ask but can u do a smoke bomb from stump remove :(potassium nitrate) and table sugar

you should've used some copper compounds
damn dude its been a while eh?

thank you very much for this in depth description to help put me to ease :)
+Vincent C your welcome

+mrhomescientist it breaks down into formaldehyde, then formic acid, which makes formate salts which cause nervous system problems.
I see purple
Is that the 4th of July fireworks going off in the background or is that a typical day in the US with its gun laws?
Probably a little bit of both
This past weekend I shot guns and did fireworks. Just like any other weekend. USA! USA! USA!
