Why does everyone seem to react TCCA with HCL to make their chlorine? You can make it by electrolysis of saltwater using graphite electrodes. In fact, you can allow the chlorine to mix with the hydrogen and not worry about separating them because your bath wouldn't be cold enough to liquefy the hydrogen anyway. You'd get pure chlorine liquid and all you would be using up would be salt. I make liquid nitrogen myself so that would be free for me as well. I should do this experiment. Of course, I'd get solid chlorine with LN2 but that's okay.
Ilovelazers It is. The hardest part of this video was disposing of it. Once I ran out of dry ice I had problems. The chlorine started boiling. I was freaking out because the container I tried to store it in had a leak in the brass fittings. I was getting chlorine gas in my face, eyes, nose... It was extremely unpleasant.I just let it vent in my back yard...
Lol but the "bromine" they put in pools is just bromide salts, not nearly as dangerous as pure bromine. Ah well--it probably doesn't matter since it will get diluted a lot.
Its a long story... I thought I was performing electrolysis, but I had NaCl as an electrolyte, and it was in my room for about three days before i realised. I felt that my lungs were inflamed, but i thought little of it, and i thought that the 'chlorine' smell was really Oxygen. (pool Chlorine has O, and the smell) I was wrong haha, won't do that again... *****
@@jkennedy299, I did just what you did for a science fair, but I captured the gasses to measure the speed of electrolysis for an invention of mine. I hope your lungs are feeling fine now.
I've smelt pure chlorine gas only once in my life in a lab experiment gone wrong, and holy shit, never again, please. Imagine the smell you get in a confined space from chlorinated public swimming pools. Now multiply it by about ten thousand. That's what it's like.
+acerdick In a chemistry class once we were making ammonium chloride (salmiakki/salty liqourice) and taste it (which thinking of it is not very safe, but it was tiny quantity), but one group accidentally made some sort of fertilizer..
If one were to fill a, lets say 150ml, aerosol/spray/gasl canister pressuriezed at around 100 psi, would it go boom or would it be contained safely when it drops back to room temperature?
Pouring bromine in a swimming pool ***** please tell me again HOW DANGEROUSE THIS IS FOR THE ENVIRONMENT!!! This is a complete disregard for all saftey procautions that should be followed out. Also just pouring the chlorine gas out. *sigh does he know wht could happen if he breaths too much clorine into his lungs?
+Science_and_anonymous science_and_anonymous 1. you said to the environment, so if this bromine doesn't escape from the swimming pool its not a danger to the environment, only to someone who is in contact with it.
Daniel Castany Trouble seeing? More like trouble exchanging oxygen for carbon dioxide and quite literally coughing up a lung. Man, the antics kids get into these days! Really takes me back.
Cool! I think I am going to try that out :)
Id like to see your take on it!
WOW. throwback
Indeed it's odd to look back on these old vids Kevin did!!
omg its mr red

Be free bromine! Hahaha the struggle is real to capture any of the halogens :P
J.P. Montello yes it is! They are all easy to free, hard to capture and keep!
Omg your naratiom is amazing. I laughed at the end when you laughed you were so awkward its so funny lol XD
Jonathan Vandagriff Haha thanks
That looks like death in a tube.

ProSanfam Rs He was probably using a gas mask. Not to mention Chlorine in heavier than air.
Hey comeback and watch the old videos of bckyrdsctcne

Haha, now my pool will be super clean!!!
Hahaha
Back when he was actually doing quality science. Miss this, man.
It's not frozen chlorine you see it's frozen water. You didn't dehydrate it before allowing it to condense
Be free bromine😂
Ooh where in Florida are you? I'm in the Gainesville area.
I recently accidentally made Cl(g)
Yikes, how did that go?

I lived in west palm beach for a few years and I always wonder why they call it the sunshine state. I feel like it rained sideways more 🤣🤣🤣

I accidentally made mustard gas once...
THAT'S A BAD DOGGY
Titans Agario Gameplays! arf
And you were out of ketchup gas?!
Have a hard time believing that. You would need an emergency hospital visit as it is a very potent agent.
What did you use anyways?
+acerdick In a chemistry class once we were making ammonium chloride (salmiakki/salty liqourice) and taste it (which thinking of it is not very safe, but it was tiny quantity), but one group accidentally made some sort of fertilizer..
Why would you throw it out? It makes a great snack!
Only in Florida!

+Science_and_anonymous science_and_anonymous Bromine in a swimming pool is not dangerous to the environment...
Pale Luna have you ever studied chemistry? How about this saerch up bromine and chlorine. Cant find any dangers I will tell you them.
+Science_and_anonymous science_and_anonymous 1. you said to the environment, so if this bromine doesn't escape from the swimming pool its not a danger to the environment, only to someone who is in contact with it.
+Pale Luna well yes who is in contact. But yet still in the environment. any animals that go near that consider themselves dead.
+Science_and_anonymous science_and_anonymous No... animals will not die by just getting close to it. Unless they drink it then they are fine
Hm. You could have made some chlor-al sleeping drops with that.
As soon as I saw the tervis I knew you were a floridian
What's a tervis?
Be freee, bromine!
isn't chlorine gas very deadly? I thought they used it in WWII?
I mean WWI
Yes, but you still need a few good breathes of it to do harm. Its deadliness is a bit overhyped.
yes, but the gas was contained in the tube in this video, so he did not breath in too much chlorine gas. Also, chlorine is heavier than air.
Make chloroacetone with it.
sigh... back when this channel did actual science and didn't just screw around...
I dare you to take a sniff of it
One sniff isn't horrible. it's if you're engulfed in it or whatever, WWI style.
+TheArmoredAlpaca yeah you are a little late but yeah a was comparing it to WWI
Why are you whispering?
This seems deadly...
firefightergreg It could be, but with proper precautions it is nothing to worry about.
+TheBackyardScientist won't pouring bromine out like that in the swimming pool, be hazardous
so much older looking than his newer videos
how do you store it?
nice
What shop do you get the chemicals like aluminium ?
+LargeVirus From a restaurant in can form
melt it and cast it again then it would be pure.
dance for bees!
Well
Nice
What fun stuff could we do with the Chlorine?
Daniel Castany Toss a vial of it into a passers-by car and watch your hilarious joke unfold!
Haha! Imma be like "you got pranked!!!" as they have trouble seeing and crash and burn their vehicle.
Daniel Castany Trouble seeing? More like trouble exchanging oxygen for carbon dioxide and quite literally coughing up a lung. Man, the antics kids get into these days! Really takes me back.
it looks like you are trying to make carbon dioxide with that apparatus
+Josh McGrath He could make a number of gases with that apparatus....
Cat attack! I also have lab cats.. they try to kill themselves and me at the worst moments!
100th comment
why would you put this on UA-cam!? hope for your sake no one uses this to do harm!
***** Heisenberg.!
+A. Vllasaliu Yes?
