Reaction of aluminum with chlorine

[TheCerberusInferno]

Cool music

[GiorgioCapocasa]

That's just amazing!

It must have been a real pain in the butt to scoop out the salt off the glass, but I guess yielding AlCl3 wasn't exactly the purpose of this experiment...

Could you share with us the song's title? I'd love to learn it :)

[deimos2k6]

but will it blend?

[spotlightman1234]

how come i can never get this reaction to work? do i need to dry the chlorine? can you heat the aluminium too long before putting it in? please tell me what you think i could do to get the best chances of this reaction working.

[Samv100able]

It looks like a light bulb

[TheHotrodf100]

I assume that's poison gas leaking out?

[kemiaikiserletek]

Very good video!

[THEORIGINALGTAFREAK]

whats the music?

[multibillionaireguy]

Its the new light bulb!!

[THEJamgun]

@multibillionaireguy actually, no. that would be dangerous.

[gibblets17]

next time please where long sleeves. it makes me worry when you work with this stuff with short sleeves.

[trylag23]

Can you make Anhydrous AlCl3 by this method? or will it hydrate.

[ChemToddler]

@trylag23 nope. it's highly hygroscopic at standard conditions, absorbing moisture/water from the air

[SexyKush420]

can i use liquid pool chlorine?

[ChemToddler]

@SexyKush420 nope

[CrazyforDarkness]

I Heard You Can Make Choline From Bleach And Vinegar

[Spo8]

@CrazyforDarkness Do you mean bleach and amonia? That makes chloramine, not chlorine.

[lemon454677]

k pepole next time u have a sandwitch in aluminum foil carful you dont drop the foil in the pool or then u will know waht will happen lol

[iaberis]

isn't that smoke dangerous?

[XxTaylor88xX]

@iaberis Highly.

[poopdownurthroat]

Love all your videos sir! You're not just a dumb kid that's like "shit explodes when you do this and that" you know your shit, and I love that you put up the equation and explain what's happening.

[CheckinGagaiNagain]

would appreciate it if the bulb continually lights up !!

free light:)

[mapleguy1029384756]

@CheckinGagaiNagain its not free... You ahve to buy aluminum... but ya that would be cool =D

[CheckinGagaiNagain]

@mapleguy1029384756

nOt a chemist!yOu talk bOut aluminium,i understand that when it's heating it give up unhealthy fumes!

sO nO cOOking with thOse pans...

in my bOOk anything is pOssible withOut harming:)

[mapleguy1029384756]

@CheckinGagaiNagain uh... 0O0O0O)O)0oo0? Confusing...

[CheckinGagaiNagain]

@mapleguy1029384756

didn't mean tOO!

am nOt a chemist i guess was one the mOst impOrtant infOs:)

[olympicfan2]

ever heard of protective clothes?

[paopaomanalansan]

Can the aluminum chloride be used in Friedel crafts reaction?

[olympicfan2]

do you mean hydrocloric acid?

[catmaster141]

No, that was chlorine. Hydrochloric acid is a liquid

[kelltiozim]

Good video, but I just can't stand the music, too loud and grating on the nerves. gg

[hbjon]

I like it. Nice guitar expression. It is relavent to the volitile nature of the reaction. Very appropriate.

[Prowler047]

the reaction with fluorine would be more rapid,and there would be less to be seen

[Cforchemistry]

This reaction is not possible due to safety reason.

[pyropakman]

Fluorine reacts with glass, so it wouldn't be very feasible.

[cypher0147]

do this with flour xDD

[Kivencito]

what happens?

[hplayer12]

chlorine is a gas but can be formed into a solid

[clockworkreactor]

wow smoke much? lol great videos

[antiswattt]

hey guys... you know chlorine is sold as a bleaching thing? do you think if i pour chlorine (liquid) into a glass and then cook it away that i will get pure chlorine? and was this liquid or powder chlorine you used?

[TutorialGeneration]

Just get bleach, and add some hydrochloric acid in it ( I used 20%)

[antiswattt]

will i get the chlorine that reacts with brake fluid then? O= damn thnx for the golden words xD

[antiswattt]

and... do i need to cook away the liquid to get the chlorine powder?

[TutorialGeneration]

You get a gas and a solution

I don't understand the part of chlorine powder :D

[antiswattt]

so i cant get any chlorine powder? ... i saw a video where they put chlorine powder into brake fluid and then it ignited as well as chlorine in cola.. but the cola is just.. 10 times stronger than mentos in cola

[slateflash]

That's probably a called trichlor or freon, a compound involving chlorine

[antiswattt]

oh... thanks :D well now i got some new stuff to look for ^^ yay i got alot of finely powdered cuso4 (:

[KTachinitsu]

Yes, please boil your chlorine, and let me know what happens.

[antiswattt]

sounds like it smells good (joke) haha

[AuraRisen]

Dude chlorine is a gas...

[antiswattt]

yea i found out now.. but theres also this experiment with brake fluid and chlorine.. where the chlorine is a solid.. :/ it reacts with self igniting and also reacting with cola much more powerful than cola/mentos q:

[xxEximiousxx]

dude chlorine tablets for pools

[chromecrescent]

so what are the vapors?

[kaviaari]

Vapour that is given off from the reaction is solid aluminium trichloride, hydrochloric acid and aluminum hydroxide. Reaction equation as follows: 2 Al + 3 Cl2 → 2 AlCl3. Formed AlCl3 reacts then with the moisture in air to form HCl and aluminium hydroxide: 2 AlCl3 + 6 H2O → 2 Al(OH)3 +3 HCl.

[Hakidia]

What is science without danger :D

[evansp12]

Great video! 5*

[wallermartin]

Cool, this video really gave me enlightenment. Thanks.

[fetrug]

Great vid, how on Earth did you get chlorine?

[jazzmonkeycarpet]

its called... bleach...

[fetrug]

Is it mixed with vinegar in order to release chlorine?

[jazzmonkeycarpet]

um... i dont think so since im pretty sure bleach IS chlorine if not you can buy it

[EilianNoyes]

Electrolysis of natrium chloride water solution. Material of the electrodes is important. Beware - chlorine is dangerous (it was used during WWI as a lethal weapon), hydrogenium as well (explosive).

[fetrug]

Damn, I forgot aobut electrolysis. Thanks.

[johnsmith777710]

Make it

[slateflash]

Reduction of hydrochloric acid with manganate(VII) ions gives u chlorine gas:)

[pyropakman]

Permanganate, I thought.

[ChemToddler]

in reaction of solid potassium permanganate with concentrated hydrochloric Cl2 is liberated

[comanderkuddles]

@ChemToddler can you use liquid chlorine to do this?

[Didrik147]

That was a cool reaction, nice done^^ And good that you had the reaction equation and explained what happened. Again, nice done^^
