Triple Point

[wateroxable]

Wow!!! Chemistry is fun now.

[MaliceDotRevolver]

Identity crisis much

[kauscy]

How...

わけのわからん事をコメントに書くなおまいら

[IBurnsKush]

What would it feel like to touch this?

[llieske]

and I'm a Mormon...

[Kwask12]

@llieske It would feel just very very slightly above freezing point.

[JCaine9]

Now i have to go tell Mr. Hendricks hes gay for making me watch this and chemistry is boring

[divineagent]

Put your finger in it.

[moreapurva]

what is this sorcery!!

[seri267]

it's amazing how little you need to turn this into ice

[Arcterion]

Wizardry, I say.

[lovelyshakz]

So you get hot ice??

[dumbrick22]

But can it tango?



[TheSanwiches]

BURN THE WITCH!

[SirTorono]

suddenly, reddit

[jas16899]

wut it feel liek

[UntoldFate]

what it feel like

[theovermind]

Wadsworth Constant applies.

[TheRipdub]

@theovermind we stopped doing that like 4 months ago

[megahypersuperhero]

i came science

[Gerardeux]

My my baths with have the perfect median temperature.

[TheThirdSun]

Okay, who broke science again?

[xtypewarrior1x]

I bet that liquid feels really conflicted right now.

[nicolastheposh]

why dose this remind me or breaking bad

[airsoftlonnie]

No wonder I passed physics with only a D+....this shit is fucking mindblowing!

[quietazn]

My mind is so full of FUCK

[Judahmangi]

Because screw physics!

[skonkfactory]

This is done with water, in fact, and is the basis of the temperature scales we use. It's defined to occur at exactly 273.16 kelvin with 6.1173 mbar of vapour pressure.

[razor249]

So is it too hot or too cold to touch??

[warlockssuck]

I don't even... how... wha-...?

[KileXguy]

so....is it hot or cold?

[thegeffc]

some sweet info here

[HelmutVillam]

It has an identity crisis

[NickMinaj69]

I think I just gasped and sneezed at the same time while watching this.

[iasedu]

Why not try this with water?

[AlecMittens]

@iasedu because you would need a pressure chamber instead of a bottle and a cork. XD

[pass135]

Looks like one of those thermal pockets when it solidifies :L

[thatghillyguy]

Bravo!

[elfen4]

The miracle of Science :D

[h0wud0in2]

does ice beat fire?

well i guess that answers that question...

[PykohYT]

What would happen if you broke the flask with the substanse at triple point in it?

[Aminkhan786]

thats nice now i feel i lik i want to be a chemist

[wesly22dh]

Cool Stuff, also check the amazing New Tonian Fluids on a cone :P

[ItssVoodoo]

Now i have to go tell Mr. Hendricks sorry for calling Chemistry gay and boring.

[PwnManDude]

That's... really odd.

[ShineRainingdays]

amazing~~

[jij7th]

is there any way you can send me the instructions for this lab, with the set up instructions as well? I'd really appreciate it

[Damasteroo7]

Did you ever get the instructions? Can you post them? I would love to do this!!!

[lecatie]

@Damasteroo7 Google for the name of the substance and you will find other videos and laboratory instructions for reproduction

[cxrodformrx]

the stick is a wand!

[kevingunnels]

OMG!!! I used that same beaker in my chemistry class!

[pedropedaltones]

@kevingunnels OMG! nobody cares!

[mechwarreir2]

@pedropedaltones I care <3

[kevingunnels]

OMG!!! I used that same beaker in my chemistry class!

[sirfreakman]

What temperature is that? 

[PublicCommerce]

Make it ionize for quadruple point win!

[Lonestarr1337]

Wizardry!

[TheRealDJLO]

wat



[KeystoneFlow]

It's cool, but Isn't this just shifting between 3 different phases? I thought that Triple Point was Phase Equilibrium... and weird middle-point where something is much is a bit in-between without being any of them.

[BecuzIt]

@KeystoneFlow my guess would be that the needed pressure and temperature could not be maintained so we only get a fleeting window of "equilibrium" so that's why it looked the way it did. dunno though

[MOMOtheflyinglemur]

@KeystoneFlow it was boiling while freezing and there was liquid. triple point is when all 3 phases exist at the same pressure and temperature..i think

[PyroD00d]

let me point out that (to my first year phys student knowledge), this can occur with any substance.

[ensurePlus1]

@Jacklosive and burn/ freeze your hand dude? get real.

[aurestest]

Soooooo coool

[x15justice]

i dont want to sound nerdy, but i think this is actually pretty cool !!

[DainMiller]

@x15justice psht, nerds rule the earth bro - if you leave out the Rothschilds lol. Get used to enjoying when you sound nerdy. It is an honor that we should be able to ;)

[DaGavinX]

180 people are mostly chemistry teachers. lol

[loldude754]

lol my Chem teacher is a Youtuber!

[SELAMULLAH]

6 mbar and 0°C

[mdma4life]

@SELAMULLAH

0.01°C if you want to be technical, which I do :)

[joshburger2217]

learned about that in chem! thats awesome!

[TheHappyShack]

should show us your set up n stuff

[flyinspene]

no way. that is pretty darn sweet

[fajestic]

Good Video!

[Retugio7]

AWESOME DUDE :D

[vxSketchy]

the triple point is 0.1 isnt it? im not to sure

[angelguitarmask]

i learned about this in chemistry :D but i think i'm the only one who was paying attention =/

[nicxtrem21]

Ausom....gaz ice XD

[yumsweetiepie]

What could 2 people possibly dislike about this video??!

[liluoke]

i think the the video description might mislead some people who only watch this video to study, cuz they might think only tert-butyl has a triple point, when in reality everything does.. just at diferent pressure and temperature combinations

[trogdorm1]

liquid, solid, and gas at the same time= triple point

[GerasVille]

justin bieber and another guy, who doensnt know anything bout this, clicked on the dont like button

[billybob1212]

notice the interference patterns which made the bubbles

[smokeylemon1]

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrTsquared88]

oh. my. fucking. god. THAT IS THE COOLEST THING IVE EVER FUCKING SEEN!!!

[ObsessedChan]

@MrTsquared88

my sentiments exactly :D

[MrTsquared88]

@ObsessedChan :D

[TitaniumPT]

very cool I loved it

[Hedgehoggy1983]

I wonder under what barometric pressure and thermal conditions this triple point occurs.

[cornershot94]

@Hedgehoggy1983 6.1173 millibars at 0.01 degrees C=triple point. but i'm not sure if that was what you were asking.

[coachk12]

@cornershot94 That's for water... the substance in this flask is Tert-Butyl Alcohol, so it's much closer to room temperature.

[ZukurinoSama]

@coachk12 I would really like if you could give me the instructions. It would be awesome to do this experiment at the eys of my teacher and sensor :)

[coachk12]

@ZukurinoSama Tert-Butyl Alcohol in a flask... hooked up to a vacuum pump. Needs to be near room temp (65-68 deg. Farenheit)...

[ZukurinoSama]

@coachk12 Thanks

[guzzlinsoda]

i just learned about it in class while studying thermodynamics and the kelvin scale

[guzzlinsoda]

OMFG

nice

[romanticirony]

It would be nice and helpful if there was a little more narration of what was being observed. But still... COOL. XD

[jskizz808]

would I be able to do this as a classroom demonstration

[coachk12]

@jskizz808 -- yes... I can try to get you a copy of the instructions, it's a fairly easy setup-- but I will have to wait until we go back to school for the holiday.

[hkchem]

@coachk12 can i have a copy too, thanks alot

[itsquazart]

@coachk12 Hey, if you don't mind I would also like the instructions? I would be really grateful :)

[ExiledDespot]

@jskizz808 Was done in my freshman university chem lab.

[Kampfhund1993]

Funny ^^ and interesting

[meeples]

So since it's at the triple point it's also forming a gas, am I correct? I just learned about this in my chem class and this is the only video I could find that seemingly obtains the triple point of a substance.

[stang4lyfe07]

if its boiling then its forming a gas...

[coachk12]

Yes... the boiling = gas forming. What you cannot see is the liquid condensing on the thermometer and the glass tubing at the top of the flask.

[metalkraid]

Awesome video

[iPodTouchGuru5]

that's so cool; thanks for sharing

[paintballer1231]

what temp is that at and what is the substance thats so awesome i dont understand how that happens haha

[coachk12]

Room temp...19-20 C (67-70 F). It's tert-butyl alcohol... it is pretty amazing!!

[xja85mac]

Definitely amazing!

You've been using a water pump to lower the pressure or something more powerful?

Bye.

[coachk12]

A high-pressure nozzle on a standard sink... I guess I should have filmed the setup! If you really want to know more, let me know!

[corbinbohne]

That is amazing. I am learning about the triple point in Gen Chem II now... and it's amazing to think that this can even occur!

I know the answer to this but I have to ask just for confirmation... does the "frozen" alcohol feel cold at all? It doesn't right? That would be the weirdest sensation to touch.

[coachk12]

Not cold at all! Everything is at room temperature; MAYBE feels a hair chillier than the air around it.

[coachk12]

We have no pressure gauge connected, and this occurs at approximately room temp.

[Astrolounge]

You need a vacuum flask with a pressure gauge, knowledge of where the compound's triple point occurs, and a thermometer. Oh, and usually a hell of a lot of finesse.

[cctong333]

What is needed for a experiment like this?

[MasterSmack42]

terrific video, well done

[mostruoverde]

hi!... great video.. and i really interesting to use your video in a speech i will have this monday about the "fases de gibbs" (i'm from mexico, I speak spanish , and i dont know how spell the title) any way.. first i will ask you about if you let me use it and i have question for you.. what is the pressure and temperature of the terbutil alcohol have the triple point .. I really apreciate you answer !

thanks!!.. and sorry for my awfull englisg ¬¬

[desimunda116]

epic win

[Michaeljahosaphat]

Great video, a much better outcome then the lab.

[soccerd1090]

Ha great vid rem!
