IODINE and ALUMINUM reaction

[xstormx1]

afterwards it turns into a delectable dinner treat.

[qpdp1]

the purple fumes are only elemental iodine, that shouldn't be problem

[PhantomSeraphic]

Wow, really nice demo! The reaction look nasty though lol.

[gulbirk]

You know what else is cool. You need a lab though but I am guessing you have that.

Take aliminium and melt it. Just melt alimunuim in any way (a little bit more then what you did). You can actually do it the way you just did. But melt aliminum and when its wery hot and melted spray water at it.

Cool effects.

[david1513]

iodine is mostley a acid base thats why thay stoped makeing it,

[bestamerica]

'

what did a person drop thing in a cup

[PortablePRO]

BURN HIM HE"S A WITCH!!!!!!!!!!

[SlittySam]

Stained the fuck out of your table.

[AEVautomatic]

smoke it

[bigwang45feet]

Gee thanks for helping the eco system dick

[Basco36]

@bigwang45feet this is not much compared to how much trash you thro away for one week or polution from your car mr. help the eco system

[bigwang45feet]

@Basco36 o yes iodine is much less harm full the fucking plastic and car exahaust put some car exaust on plant it wont die put IODINE on a plant it will rot and so will the animal that eats the plant

geez some ppl

sorry if i was being a dick

[Boogers32150]

@bigwang45feet Iodine is actually an essential element for nutrition. Table salt is sometimes laced with it for those who don't get enough of it.

[alicenchains59]

@bigwang45feet iodine comes mainly from a plant ,oil leaks into the ocean naturally,tigers eat fluffy bunnies,your breath stinks and your a doodoo head

[Dexxxter7780]

@Basco36 You dont seem to have your wires running right...theres a huge difference between what we need to do and you your doing for no reason what so ever.

[roulettered56]

@bigwang45feet How are you powering your computer? Solar panels right? Dick

[bigwang45feet]

@roulettered56 actually yes

[GTHaroFITBMX]

@bigwang45feet wow u dont help u take ur dumps every day!

[haxbox7]

Whoo, Iodine smoke, don't breathe this!

[flwriliana]

what made them react?? did anything melt ??

[DJFamou5]

hehehaha lol Basco tabasco xD

[metalstorm997]

is the reaction endothermic or exothermic?

[JerkfightHD]

@metalstorm997 exothermic.

[douro20]

@metalstorm997

It is highly exothermic.

[joshb2025]

so the take away here is never mix iodine and aluminum foil. Check.

[CoffeecupVideos]

smoke bomb much 

[Koldatt]

bio bomb?

[slapthatmech]

would the addition of heat speed up the reaction?

[PotassiumAcetate]

@slapthatmech The addition of heat DOES speed up the reaction.

[pocholox8]

you have just developed a poisonus smoke bomb LOL.

[nick20200]

@pocholox8 yeh but you would need a catalysis to speed up the reaction. I dont think heat would work in conceling the bomb :D

[MsPJ1]

PLEASE KNOW THIS GAS IS TOXIC AND IS HARMFUL

[Bakayaroz]

lol whose table did you do that on?

[jenjenlover]

alpha-pinene with iodine

Baking Soda And Vinegar

Diet Coke+Salt+Mentos

Dry Ice+iodine

Add A Little Water And Mix All Of This In A Kiddie Pool And Lets See What Happens

[frechieguy]

I know that powdered form is best, but will aluminum foil work too?

[PotassiumAcetate]

@frechieguy Aluminum foil works ;)

[vmelkon]

@magalie1157 Natural iodine is not radioactive. NANOPARTICULES ALUMINIUM?

[taofledermaus]

I'd huff it.....

[CarnalDiafragma]

@magalie1157 Wat?

Also, how do you want to drink iodine? It sublimes, I have never seen it in liquid form, either gaseous or solid.

[vmelkon]

@CarnalDiafragma I have seen liquid iodine. Put it in a closed/sealed glass and heat it. There would be a lot of dark purple gas but it is still possible to see the liquid iodine.

[CarnalDiafragma]

@vmelkon Really? Wow, I didn't know that! I have some iodine at home, so I'll give it a try!

[jsmithmilitary]

poison gas! lol harold and kumar 2

[BlacKaTeerZTV]

KOFFING! USE SMOG!!!

[JavAnarkoMet]

dont you love how iodune always fuck the surfaces?

[TheMagicVoid]

Lol dumbass its Yoshimitsu not Yoshimoto

[Nonchalants8]

looks swet

[atomdragon4]

Is this what they use in the army when they want pickup from a helicopter? or is that completely different from this?

[dudeitslindsayyy]

its his blood thats has a disease! run away photogopher!

[mapleguy1029384756]

Nice job wearing a gas mask. Too bad this isn't halo so you can't start over when you game over...

[Ducaz012]

why does this happen?

[Sharkness77]

very pretty!

[urmother137]

Extraction point! Go Go Go!!

[TheGrimsReaper]

dont you love it how the horridly toxic smoke always trys to kill you no matter where you move

[YOUGLlTCHER]

i bet that would flush a rat out of a barrow or something, either that or poison it :P

[FixedByDoc]

what are the applications of this, can it be useful as a weapon or something?

I suck at chemistry.

[sidthebabyeater]

thats what yoshimoto breaths on you in tekken lol

[EnterTheDibble]

Yoshimitsu bro :d

[starshock01]

dude that table is fucked...

[basoboii]

i hope you didnt want to USE that table afterwards did you?

[07PamPer07]

Now lets taste youre coffee!

[psyche8087]

ok i suppose, if you wanted to be found by a search plane. i can think of no other good use for that. a bit disappointing!

[ncstndgrl]

lol at the toxic smoke following you

[n1a2t3h4a5l6i7e8]

Caesium + Iodine = salt, water and a big boom!!!

[GingleGangle1]

Does AlI3 burn?

[maverick0046]

wow thats cool lol you can make some highly toxic abstract art!

[Agentoxedo07]

Holy-Terrorist:>*=* gne, aluminium + iodine = vapor reaction and coloration with table !

[ninja6kid]

that dont look to healthy

[meteorman96]

what are u talking about, there is no such thing as liquid iodine, it sublimes, get yur chemistry right

[libtechsk8er]

Students who have seen the classroom demonstration in which iodine crystals are gently heated in a test tube to violet vapor may gain the impression that liquid iodine does not exist at atmospheric pressure. This misconception arises because the vapor produced has such a deep color that the liquid appears not to form. In fact, if iodine crystals are heated carefully to just above their melting point of 113.7 °C, the crystals melt into a liquid which is present under a dense blanket of the vapor

[meteorman96]

srry lol i actually havent seen a demonstration yet, thx for the info i actually didnt know that it turns into a liquid

[libtechsk8er]

@meteorman96

Lol, sorry for sounding so mean.

I didn't even know liquid iodine existed at atmospheric pressure either. I thought it had to be at the right pressure.

[meteorman96]

@libtechsk8er yes iodine is a very interesting element, especially the fact that it sublimes to a gas, but im still sure at the exact pressure and temperature it could be a liquid.

[libtechsk8er]

@meteorman96

Before you try to make others feel like idiots, at least get *your* chemistry straight. Liquid iodine does exist at atmospheric pressure. Read my other detailed comment that I copied from Wikipedia.

[DoubleBasschick2]

@meteotman96

um yeah there is lol, i got a bottle from walmart yesterday for a project XD

[bladeking2013]

sweet but what is it poisonis gass or.... please explain

[darksideofthebrick13]

liquid iodine would work better

[cornershot94]

heating it up in general would work

[pimelman5]

you must add a drop of water than the reaction will start

[Kuwaiti55]

Yah! I think so,Cuz drop of water works with KMnO4&Glycerin Mixture.

[Radioactive897]

lol get it off me at 1:13

[Kuwaiti55]

is it exothermic ?

[dragonridley]

I thinks so since it vaporizes the iodine

[davidng5000]

They should use this in war as poisonous smoke nades

[coryrbk]

lol yeah if we would actually take a Bio-Chemical ware-far we could do so much :P such as for instance taking Gaint conatinaers and shit of these and throw em together and and putting them in enemy's buildings tell me that wouldn't work lol

[davidng5000]

that would work O.o

tank a gallon of iodine, and a gallon of aluminum and make nades out of them make like 16 nades and throw like 5 and put a flare in there a death that you cant even see haha i need to try that on my friend to see if it works

[0Beautifulbrutality0]

why not use mustard gas and napalm?

[davidng5000]

i dunno, i suppose you could, but i researched that if you use this and put a piece of uranium the size of a pea in it and throw it, the cloud would become so radioactive and poisonous that if you breathe it or walk into it will die or become badly harmed so if you add uranium=DEATH CLOUD

[douro20]

Water only serves the purpose of making the iodide ion more available. It will work without it because iodine is volatile, meaning it will slowly transition into the gas stage at room temperature, which increases the availability of I-.

[mahimahi123789]

i cant tell, is that a flame coming from it or just a gaseuos substance?

[Eman9405]

0:59 darkrai's comin after you! LOL

[felixthemaster1]

hey, check out my video of iodine reacting with iron. i will post it as a vid responce. please accept!

[RandumIncProductionz]

pretty

[felixthemaster1]

yea, its always purple. but this is the slowest halogen and i think it made alluminuim iodide

[mclein1097]

Can I use Aluminum foil as a substitute?

[felixthemaster1]

no. powder has much more surface area. u can try if u want :) did u chekc the video responce?

[Skinnynet1]

Sometimes ist marks landing zones for helicopters

[Pyromaniac9000]

if you add a drop of glyceryn it will lite on fire

[luckeycat]

what temperature would that burn at?

[felixthemaster1]

not enough. it only makes iron glow, look at the video responce

after it is uploaded

[howe094]

that works with potassium permanganate, not this stuff

[libtechsk8er]

The purple gas is pure iodine, so without proper ventilation, it is hazardous to breathe.

[11to]

is that purple gas toxic and wath is the the chemical formel for that?

[wattapassa]

I2 iodine. and it is, its a halogen

[sweetbob67]

make a put the iodine in a bottle with a pressure cap and go to your enemy's house and add the aluminum powder and and sneek in his house while he is in the bathroom or some other room yell at him and set it down so when he comes in that room he will be stained everywhere

[tTatmosT]

or you can throw it at his window (so it brakes into his room) while he's sleeping and if he wakes up and tries to touch it... auch

[sweetbob67]

lol

[shutigal]

that stuff could kill you

[tTatmosT]

yeah I know, thats the point

[TheDrkKnght1988]

Beautiful. It creates an exothermic reaction. Iodine solid sublimates into vapor. Can you tell me the enthalpy of this reaction is?

[tTatmosT]

can someone explain me what happened to the wodden table? is that some kind of dye or did it burn the wood?

[ALMYCorporations]

koffing uses toxic gas. it is super effective

[jason123425]

man that stuff is leathal very toxic one breath= serious isues lol

[T3hPhilosopher]

How potent is the toxic cloud?

[kopaszss]

Deathly sniff.

[zker666]

this is boss

[zRev1983]

use that in a jet form and you could make some really cool anodized designs.

[ivarma]

Add a drop of water, and the reaction goes faster

[Scraleontis]

Is it very exxothermic? Can it be used a a prime delay composition?

[semcarteira]

gr8 job

[hellomotojapan]

wow man that looks awsome but it is poisonus isnt it.

[spdarkjoe]

it stains

[spikespeigel]

sucks that its like blowing on you

[deaftodd]

would that pollute?

[WhiterThanSourCream3]

that is SO COOL!!!! =)

[agent00redneck]

Looks like a nebula...

[differens]

A drop of water catalyses the reaction.

[erik1994dom1994]

Awesome its like an Army flare.

[desinfector]

now clean the table

[sirkillsomemore]

pointless....but so cool ;D

[newton2013]

...and it's a lovely way to stain wood...

[padlok47]

can anyone explain where hydrogen for the 'little hydrogen iodide' mentioned in the description comes from?

[Feketefarkas]

Of course it comes from the water vapor in the air.

[padlok47]

'of course' sorry, i'm in az. we don't usually consider the air to be carrying water. i forget sometimes what the rest of the world is like.

[bmwsux4]

I wonder if you mix aluminium, iron, and possibly a little sulphur as a binder with iodine if you can get a thermite reaction with the heat ?

[elvicholudo]

how toxic are those fumes?

[buzz61786]

extremely toxic...that purple smoke is actually iodine. iodine itself is a poison i hope this guy had a mask on.

[thaibu]

most of the iodine had boiled away, The reaction should have been done under pressure. The Al powder should be gray kind, not the shiny Etch-A-Sketch type with a waxy odor.

[MetallicAsian]

Don't ya hate it when you try to get away from fumes and they seem to follow ya where ever you go

[Hegonta]

You must be in some sort of "science" feild (other than like a school science teacher) cause you have to have some way of accumulating all of your chemicals.

[megafeltch]

what colours the smoke,

hydrogen iodide?

is the aluminium iodide worth keeping to react it with an oxidiser to recrystalise the iodine

[0Sebek0]

The purple smoke is iodine steam, and yes, any iodide gets oxided even in the air

[maxyevs]

Hmm yeah it is worth keeping thats a brilliant idea...

after all you cant buy iodine very easily, and it should be easier to make it from Aluminum iodide than sodium or potassium iodide.

Just react it with HCl... if iodine does not fall out of solution, add some H2O2 to convince the H to leave it...

AlI3 + 3HCl > AlCl3 + 3HI

2HI + H2O2 > I2 + 2H2O

[megafeltch]

thanks

using h202 and hcl in a reaction to potassium iodide, i think is the most common way drug dealers use in the production of methamphetamine.

i hate drug addicts

[maxyevs]

No, the only reason iodine is a 'precursor' is because some ways to make meth include hydroiodic acid...

Really there are a lot more interesting things to do with iodine...

This experiment for instance

[megafeltch]

i know, iodine is great for many reactions (nitrogen triiodide) but i thought it was listed because drug dealers make crystal meth

[padlok47]

the most common way involves tincture of iodine, h2o2 & hydrochloric. its far messier than the potassium iodide method. but you can get tincture @ the drugstore.

[pyropakman]

Where did you get the solid iodine?

[MoisesSerranoIQ170]

whath happens if i breath this for more than 5 secs? please answear

[Basco36]

You would have serious lung damage, I would definatly not try to get high off this.

[69knight2]

i dont think anything that bad will happen...we did a scale version of this in science

[cydoniashero]

scale

[NamesROverated]

keyword "scale"

[bilstew]

After about 5 secs you would be very red in the face I should think.

[moosey333]

you will never get that clean again..

[svkartisbest]

what would the chemical equation be?

alluminium + iodine=..........

[pyropakman]

2 Al + 3 I2---> 2AlI3

[SymAmineC8H11N]

hmmm... i wonder what those ALI3 fumes smell like?

[hyperboy94]

correct me if im wrong... but the new compund should be called alluminum iodide?

[Basco36]

ya you got it.

[playboyloverz]

he's my hero,,, the gas is toxic and he stay's in there :P

Kuch Kuch

[TheFluorineMartyr]

(a.k.a; how to fill your back garden with lewis acid! ^^)

[z3r0zx1]

SMOKE BOMB! (seizure)

[paronfisk]

Mix iodine with Ammoniac = more unstable than nitroglycerine

[420chazz]

lol idiot

[ENavarrete10]

Ammonium?

[paronfisk]

I + NH3

[ENavarrete10]

Oh, never heard of that compound.

[paronfisk]

Its quite common.

[jezzaforever123]

gah =p

just make some KNO3/sugar smoke..

safer

:P

[jezzaforever123]

TOXIC vapours.

[beethoven02]

would it be an explosive or a smoke bomb grenade

[Basco36]

no.

[natsu76]

awesome,.. why does it take 2minutes for the reaction to take place not instantly?
