Burning 90% hydrogen peroxide soaked cotton balls

[ohiol33sa]

bet MOM was real happy that you did that on her COUNTERS. lol

that 1979 tile is hard to replace now in 2011. lol

p.s. great way to teach TEENAGERS how to light shit on fire

[iCerial]

very combustible!

[deathbyhippies]

This burns extremely slower than gun cotton, don't fuck about with this like you can with gun cotton, it just doesn't instantly combust into thin air.

[drewnickel]

hey, I'm working on a project to make a more efficient gun powder. I want to either use pure nitrocellulose, or this. would this work as a propellant? if so, does it burn in a closed container, along with that how much gas is produced by the reaction?

[fortuneplant1]

Can it be use as a substitute for gun cotton?

[TheMrbumpas]

Glad to hear the tile is ok, I was dumb enough once to put some flash powder on a formica table top. The flash was fun, but replacing the formica wasn't.

[jmontello1]

@TheMrbumpas that sucks... I used to do flash powder on index cards on the ground and it was rare to burn a hole through them. Left a nice scorch mark though

[TheMrbumpas]

how much longer did it take to crack the ceramic tiles and piss-off the landlord?have to admit, if I ever get some 90% h2o2 I'll be trying that myself

[jmontello1]

@TheMrbumpas nothing happed to the tile just some soot that wiped off

[arkons1961]

What a mess on the tile. I hope you are not renting!

[lovingmilo22]

34 looks like assassin creed

[lovegunz1]

how the hell did you manage to get 90% hydrogen peroxide

[Trilby]

Fun for pyromanics.

[Agentoxedo07]

Holy-Terrorist:>*=* Ultrasonic vibration of platinum(Pt) metal in water(H2O) can make dihydrogen(H2) and hydrogen peroxide(H2O2) in vapor phase teached in book chemist (Son et lumière) in the school, and using barbotage method to concentrate hydrogen peroxide(H2O2), other, potassium tetraperoxochromate (K3[Cr(O2)4]) are very oxidant, teached in Wikipedia and Youtube, i never maked chemistry, i haved parent!

[threebuddies]

Where did you get 90% H2O2

[FrozenHaxor2]

It burns well becauce H2O2 is oxidizing well.

[euheide]

does it burn like that because of having 2 oxygen atoms for each molecule?

[hacksaw44]

Rocketbelts, need help with fuel. Email me.

[hacksaw44]

Are you still working with the peroxide? I have a project I need help with.

[jmontello1]

@hacksaw44 what is your project?

[princeow2002]

thats a devilsh fire...

[Ubojica6661]

cool

[rexsherman]

Two words...Holy...Shit. That's the coolest thing I ever seen. =D

@Ben: If 2% peroxide solution causes instant oxidation burns of the skin just imagine what this would do...

[ben2point0]

why are you wearing latex gloves? if they catch fire they are going to melt into and graft into your skin... that's even worse than no gloves at all!

[jmontello1]

@ben2point0 I have less time to react with a peroxide burn onto bare skin than with latex gloves on.

[hawk1buster]

@ben2point0,where did you get your hands on 90% hydrogen peroxide ????

[TheGaiix]

@ben2point0

I think what you're forgetting is that hydrogen peroxide constricts capillaries in the skin and can cause blood clots on contact.

Dangerous chemicals > fire

[jmontello1]

@picmario My accuracy is not very high (I based my concentration off of vapor pressure during vacuum distillation). I just know for sure that it is higher than 70% but not more than 80%.

[roboticmehdi]

I tried the same using 50% H2O2 but nothing happened. why is this so?

[jmontello1]

@roboticmehdi I believe 50% H2O2 cannot boil away all of the water that it is diluted with leaving the cotton too wet to burn. Adding a powerful base to the hydrogen peroxide will make decomposition occur faster and more complete. I use KOH(s).

[roboticmehdi]

@jmontello1 so how do you use KOH(s) here? you just put it into cotton or something?

[jmontello1]

@roboticmehdi just before using the peroxide, I add to it KOH(s). It "activates" the peroxide. Its also a type of Piranha solution.

[spotlightman1234]

@jmontello1 will naoh work?

[HazMatLabz]

@jmontello1 Piranha solution refers to concentrated Sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide. I guess it's similar due to the hygroscopic nature of h2so4 and KOH, but you'll have less acidity and less peroxide ion.

[jmontello1]

I vacuum distilled some from some 34% that I have

[djo9c1]

How were you able to obtain 70% hydrogen peroxide?

[MrSuperPhun]

yay
