Maybe, I haven't done the math and am kind of out of league with chemistry. But blood has a significant buffering capacity on its own thanks to the various proteins, albumin and haemoglobin being big ones
Wow, didn't expect some of these to be so vivid! By the way, I think the hexagonal structure is due to close packing of spheres. A bubble naturally wants to be a sphere and spheres can pack together in hexagonal arrangements, so when they're squeezed together the edges form hexagons.

Well it is naturally present in the air in minute amounts and our body even produces a very small amount of it for some reason. A substance's reaction to blood really doesn't say very much unless you are injecting it. Even then its probably different...

Who took the blood sample? It should have been very easy. He has veins like fire hoses. A tip from a doctor and biologist. After the puncture, the cannula must never be pushed downwards into the skin, only forwards. If the syringe and cannula rest loosely on the surface of the skin, the risk of a vessel rupture is much lower. Btw, the reaction of blood to H2S is the same denaturation reaction as when blood is heated to 80° C. In microbiology there is even a nutrient medium for the proliferation of very demanding microorganisms. There, about 5% of defibrinated animal blood (usually horse or sheep blood, sometimes human blood) is added to the still liquid nutrient medium. The culture medium is then heated to approx. 80° C and poured into plates. Because of its color it is also called chocolate agar.
Wow, that cyanide appears to have physically changed the consistency of the blood in addition to destroying it chemically. Yeah, I don't think cyanide or H2S are anything I want near my blood. Oh yes, good subject choice for Halloween, Felix!
Hydrogen sulfide is a horrendous chemical. The good news is someone who generated H2S could use ferrous sulfate or ferric chloride solutions as scrubbers
basically trypophobia for the normal ranges, like people who get scared if theres a spider on them but not when its in front of you. (if theres a spider ON YOU, you should be scared. they bite and it can scar.)
@@Chess_and_Universe_Astronomy I'm pretty sure I didn't see anything that looked like the rhombic ddh (it's been many years since I did that experiment). I'll do the experiment again and let you know what happens.
The cinematography on this… 🤩. You’ve gone well beyond even the best of the old science training films. I’m constantly amazed by your content. Thank you so much for doing what you do!!!
I'm a dialysis nurse. I once drew blood from an intravenous dialysis catheter from a patient in the ICU, and it was exactly the color of that cyanide exposed blood. I actually gasped and dropped the syringe on the bed, just in shock because venous blood should NOT be that color. The patient's blood pH was 6.9. I think that's what caused it. (Patient survived against all odds after a one month stay in ICU.)
Hellll yes. Cherry red blood is sometimes cited as a symptom of acute cyanide poisoning, but these are supra-physical doses. I guess the pink and the normal red heme combine to make cherry red.
I’m a GP and I had a forensic medicine course during my studies, in Poland we call the CO-saturated blood “raspberry-like” and thanks to your experiment I can finally know what this color is really like 😍 thank you so much, sensei 🙏
Hey man I love ur vids I'm a chemistry of materials student in Italy and I have to say that I like all your videos that I watch bcz they're well organized and you make me very curious about this things and all this "exotic" reagents 😂. Keep going man 🙂👍
Very interesting! Would have been nice to see the microscopic blood smears as well, if apart from the color changes the erythrocytes would have been deformed. And if you could reverse the effects of the toxic substances by high concentration oxygen infusion.
Excellent video! I very much enjoyed it, just like all your other ones. As someone who has always been fascinated by the color of blood, this was very interesting, I've gotten blood tests done hundreds of times to keep track of my system, due to my medication, and always look forward to seeing the slight variations of color each time I have to get them done. I'd love to see a part too! I've cleaned skulls with hydrogen peroxide, as a final step, just to remove the last little bits of cartilage and such. (I don't have a certificate or anything so here I can only legally buy a 10% hydrogen peroxide. 😅 I would love to see it's reaction with blood if possible, maybe even with higher concentration Keep it up and a great day to anyone seeing this
Really interesting! Also, I wonder what causes that perfectly uniform hexagonal structure to form when bubbling gas through the blood.. There's probably some simple explanation but I'd love to know why it happens.
fascinating stuff. Forgetting the whole chemical and medical side of things for a moment though: You've accidentally made an incredible visualization of liquid flow inside a bubble structure! In the H2S bubbles, you can see the particles and liquid flowing down along the bubble boundaries, mixing at the corners and so on.
I can confirm that large amounts of blood turn into jelly when exposed to the air. I had a nose bleed that literally filled the bottom of my sink and I'll never forget watching the slug-like mass of blood slither down the drain when I tried to rinse it out. If you look at the tube when they draw your blood, there's a bit of heparin at the bottom of it. Depending on the color of the vial.
I don't know about anyone else, but I shouldn't have eaten lunch right before I tried watching this video. Very good video with comparison of different gasses!
If you enjoyed this video, I highly recommend a book called “The Poisoner’s Handbook” by Deborah Blum. The video and the book were made for each other pretty much. I can almost guarantee that everyone who enjoyed this video will love her book.
Hydrogen sulfide in the blood is absolutely horrifying... The way it went from a regular shade of blood red, into an inky looking substance. This just shows you how toxic these gases can be. Stay safe!
I hope you drank enough orange juice! Omg! I almost passed out watching that monster needle go in you're arm! This is why I became a chemist and not a doctor 😂
i think the hexagonal bubbles arent a unique property and that any bubbles willl take on a hexagonal packing to fill space as its the lowest surface area to volume ratio right? same reason as beehives and stuff
Can you explain how ancestors discover the atomic number from this gases and why they use hexagonal drawing in calculations. Is the hex from calculations taken from this hexagon blood test you made ???
Well the oxygen one is probably safe to put back in your body assuming everything was sterile. The others would all be super dangerous to put back in. I mean blood’s primary job is to have oxygen dissolved into it, then taken out of it by the muscles.
That H2S demo was terrifying
Yeah that stuff sent chills down my spine 😨🙅🏻🙅🏻
I thought cyanide was terrifying, but that kind of destruction is on another level.
In my opinion it's in the same category as HF
Emo girls love it tho
@@The-One-and-Only100 ha-ha 🤦🏻🙄
@MarkusMöttus-x7j laugh all you want as I turn my blood as black as her heart and start singing some MCR
Cyanide I think merits a re-test using HCN bubbled through to avoid alkaline reactions, but even then it might need to be buffered.
Maybe, I haven't done the math and am kind of out of league with chemistry. But blood has a significant buffering capacity on its own thanks to the various proteins, albumin and haemoglobin being big ones
HCN is converted to CN before it reaches the blood. So, perhaps a similar conversion would be necessary.
Wow, didn't expect some of these to be so vivid!

Yep, you can see the dead bloodcells falling out of solution in the plasma- fucking crazy
I was afraid of H2S, now I'm terrified.
I didn't know, I was breathing doses of that for 4 years. Yay
At first I was afraid, I was petrified.
@@LeonidasLPP In my A-level chemistry exam we made it (and breathed it) 😅
Try not to bubble it through your blood
ok, i knew H2S was bad, but this if anyone wants a demonstration of why it's VERY bad, look no further
Hydrogen sulfide is a horrendous chemical. The good news is someone who generated H2S could use ferrous sulfate or ferric chloride solutions as scrubbers
Fascinating! You forgot one though. Methemoglobin. Sodium nitrite or nitrate will do it. :)
Even sulfhemoglobin. :) Na2S (sodium sulfide will do)
7:26 no don't drink the forbidden cherry cokey cola
too late... i've become drac
mmm cherry pepsi
Wow the black hexagons look awesome
H2O2 reacts quite nicely with blood, even at low concentrations.
Those hexagonal bubbles make me uncomfortable for some reason
its like trypophobia but its not in the ohh no the sand has holes ahhh form, its on the *that is blood bubbling* form
basically trypophobia for the normal ranges, like people who get scared if theres a spider on them but not when its in front of you. (if theres a spider ON YOU, you should be scared. they bite and it can scar.)
In a larger container, the bubbles will take the form of dodecahedrons.
Excellent and ominous demonstration.
Sort of correct but not really, they would form Rhombic dodecahedron
@@Chess_and_Universe_Astronomy I'm pretty sure I didn't see anything that looked like the rhombic ddh (it's been many years since I did that experiment). I'll do the experiment again and let you know what happens.

The hexagonal structure likely forms due to the protein links in the blood itself. Pretty cool to be honest.
The way the iron just drops out of solution - that’s terrifying
I don't know if I "enjoyed" this video but it was cool to see
That H2S footage is amazing 5:22
Very very good!
You are the best UA-camr, some weaklings on YT always blur blood but you LITERALLY just extracted blood On video, that’s insane, you get a sub
That is a proper halloween chemistry. Better than guys exploding a pumpkin with calcium carbide.

I never expected bubbling blood to look so pretty
The blood plasma viscosity makes the bubbles hexagonal.
But the H2S kills the blood, and makes it unable to carry the O2 or CO2.
Very nice video and very risky too, the concept, photography and explanation all are super, eager to hear more from you 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Man that's amazing , he is having Cyanide like lays in our home 😂 .
H2S show really scary result !!

I'd say the colour of the CO one was "cerise".
Great video to kick off the spooky day.
Might of found a way to make hexagonal structures if you can make it coagulate once the structure is formed
Wow, this is really testing my poor red vision . . .
Oh no! D:
The change of shades when in the water really toke me by surprise
I love this channel ❤
If you do this again, you should try sodium nitrite! It's supposed to oxidize the iron in hemoglobin from +2 to +3, changing the color
6:49 Seems like the Potassium Cyanide was polymerizing the proteins. Same should happen with Hexaborate?
If you enjoyed this video, I highly recommend a book called “The Poisoner’s Handbook” by Deborah Blum. The video and the book were made for each other pretty much. I can almost guarantee that everyone who enjoyed this video will love her book.
6:43 this looks amazing honestly
how about mix with sodium nitrite?
wtf bro buy normal syringes please! What you're doing is giving me chills!
Can you try the chlorine gas?? As its known to be extremely toxic too..
Hardcore chemistry 🤘
Hydrogen sulfide in the blood is absolutely horrifying... The way it went from a regular shade of blood red, into an inky looking substance. This just shows you how toxic these gases can be. Stay safe!
A demo with aniline would have also been interesting
Great video. 👍
Was it me, or did the "control" blood get redder through the course of the video as it absorbed atmospheric O2?
Should try mixing with lidocaine or benzocaine to form methemoglobin. Supposed to be chocolate brown.
I hope you drank enough orange juice! Omg! I almost passed out watching that monster needle go in you're arm! This is why I became a chemist and not a doctor 😂
KNO3
What hapen in blood?😊
The hexagonal structures formed remind me all of of arteries
Other people: Hey let's use some fake blood to make it a bit more special.
ChemicalForce:
Should have tried NO2, SO2, Phosgene (if possible). Those would be interesting to see
A video on iodine pentafluoride and its fluorination properties would be fascinating
pro tip: don’t inject hydrogen sulfide into your blood
It will be interesting to check if Cu2+ or other cations can replace Fe2+ in hemoglobin
Nope. But some animals do use copper instead of iron. Hemocyanin, which is found in octopuses, for example
Literally nothing could go wrong
I wonder if people fainted from seeing this
I rather look away
i just looked away when there was the needle
Those cat videos were perfect for my needle sensitive weak ass. Idk why needles make me feel so weird, but thanks for that 😂
🎶And the blood was ankle deep
And the River Skrall ran crimson red 🎶
Did your arm hurt while extracting the blood
great vid!
holy shit, i think you've won in terms of halloween chemistry... have no idea how tom can top something like this
thanks for your contribution
The H2S is horrifying, considering that breathing something in provides direct access to the blood. Imagine if this is breathed in
Awesome footage! I'd love to see some reactions like with H2S under a microscope if possible, to look at the individual red blood cells.
5:05 you're blood after you fart
When i see the title, i tought you injected these to your bloodstream 😂😂😂
Skip to 0:51 if necessary.
Would there be a colour change if it was exposed to concerning amounts of gamma radiation?
