@tarjeivraadal I don't know anyone that would sit on a seat that's discolored... Maybe in a stall, after feeding people bhut jolokia encrusted habanero poppers.
nothing more of an indicator than nitrate smoke.. you gotta love the deep violet smoke turn into that so well known orange color that sends shivers down any refinery fire-fighter. nitrogen is an inert gas, but the central element in a great deal of most explosives today. a super saturated iodine solution in GOOD lab grade aqueous ammonia, is quite an impressive little molecule. look up texas city disaster, or the pepcon explosion, to gather a sense, what this family can accomplish.
@carpetmonk Just a couple of points to clear up the chemistry: 1. It's not 'nitrate smoke' since there are no nitrates anywhere in this reaction (nitrate is NO4-) the reaction produces nitrogen and iodine - which is the purple gas you can see and 2. It's not a super saturated solution since it's the solid that is explosive which has the crystal structure NI2-I-NI2-I with the ammonia molecules sat in between the rows of nitrogen triiodide as an adduct which when removed make it very unstable.
@tommoleathotmail ahh! see i was under the impression that the decomp bound the nitrogen to oxygen.. or even just nitric oxide. or in the least that the oxidation is the reason it becomes so unstable after drying. now.. oxygen isnt even a catalyst, returning to its original state after being part of the reaction? see i swore id read that the dry chemical broke down differently.
@tommoleathotmail also, was this your classroom? and were you close enough to feel the atmosphere after detonation, and was it hot? if the reaction released only free nitrogen, and essentially a particulate iodine cloud, and no reaction with oxygen in the atmosphere from the explosion, would heat or high humidity be forming the orange tint after the dustcloud has sat free near the end of the segment. btw, we made google first page for nitrogen triiodide color smoke!
@carpetmonk No there's no oxygen involved anywhere, the solid simply pings apart to give Iodine and Nitrogen with quite a lot of force since it's very unstable, no catalyst needed. No it doesn't get hot - the energy is released as kinetic energy in the gas molecules, not (principally) heat. The orange tint is the natural colour of Iodine in the presence of oxygen - it's only purple when there's no oxygen around, that's why it starts purple and turns brown and why Iodine stains are brown.
That purple smoke is Iodine gas that was generated by the explosion. Not too pleasant to breathe. The loud bang you heard was due to the formation of invisible nitrogen gas from the unstable nitrogen triiodide crystals.
@lyrison im sure ive come across that before.. i had to look it up, "mostly" inert.. i tend to think in black and white.. and dont understand why texts would even say something like that. thanks for the insight.
@carpetmonk I like your attitude. There is another youtuber that won't get it through his head that while nitrogen is mostly inert, it still isn't actually inert.
@drahunter213 The whole point is that NI3 cannot be produduced in large quantaties due to it's nature of spontaniously exploding in the lightest of breezes. Just trying to pile enough together to make a bigger explosion than this would likely detonate it.
@andrewvpover well yes but if you make something that is sensitive enough to be triggered by a breeze, you don't want to put the fume cupboard on until it's decomposed so that you can control when it goes off, otherwise it would explode unpredictably as soon as it's dry.
Hmm...that feather could be a pesky fly or ant...bwahahahahahahaha!

@carpetmonk Not to burst your bubble or anything, but technically, nitrogen is not inert.

The whole ruddy idea of fume cupboards is you keep them mostly closed with the extraction fan(s) on.

I would rather risk a failed Youtube video than breathe in that much iodine.

well, if you want to be really accurate it's actually:
8 NI3NH3 → 5 N2 + 6 NH4I + 9 I2

u just rid the smoke (open a window) & just explode it on a plastic plate which you can throw out. then you wont need 2 clean
