Hydrogen and Chlorine Reaction

[igikun16]

what is the solution used in this demonstration?



[NatSciDemos]

@igikun16 8 molar of HCl

[sxuxnxnxy]

What would be the balanced equation for this reaction?

[NatSciDemos]

@sxuxnxnxy check out the google books link to Prof. Shakhashiri's writeup in the video's description section.

Nice video can't wait to try

[NZTritium]

seems like a fairly violent reaction, has anyone tried making a piston engine out using this? inject cl2/hydrogen mix and have infrared lights/lasers as the spark plugs?

[EMPIRE0FLIES]

@NZTritium I believe Stan Meyers ran a vehicle with ultraviolet light and hydrogen.

[RonJohn63]

@NZTritium No, because you'd need butt-loads of a known chemical weapon. (Chlorine gas was used as a weapon in WW1.)

[Tl82T]

cool how do you get the utraviolet light

[NatSciDemos]

@Tl82T I think Daniel found it in the checkout aisle of his local hardware store. You can order multicolored LEDs online for like $6.

WHat camra is that'?

[NatSciDemos]

@cowboyjames008 casio zr100

[cowboyjames008]

@NatSciDemos That's a good slow motion video you captured with that. have you seen this video :"アホな走り集 " ? Maybe I could do that with Casio ZR100.

Ps: Thanks for your reply!

[cowboyjames008]

@NatSciDemos THat's a video in Slowmotion about some guys running in funny ways. I bet you could do the samething 4 fun with your camrea

[LIGHTRONIX]

that would have been perfect at 2:48 for him to have said "...SCIENCE!!!"

[ArisBates]

hey kids try this at the pool

[Mackinstyle]

So winded after such a short walk means you know he knows his stuff.

[daiwilley]

Many thanks guys, keep up the good work,

[jacksonpeter]

really cool, a shame its out of focus at the end

[NatSciDemos]

@jacksonpeter yeah, the camera Daniel used for the high-speed has a frustrating interface—he thought he set it up in focus when it obviously wasn't. The resolution isn't great at that frame rate either. Overall the quality is rough (bad sound, shaky camera, etc), but we decided to post it anyway. Thanks for watching!

[daiwilley]

Very cool. From where do you get the various colored LED flashlights?

Thank you!!!

[NatSciDemos]

@daiwilley I don't remember where we got these particular ones. I vaguely remember them being sold at the checkout at our local hardware store? I had good luck with searching for "colored led light keychain" and finding a set of 7 for less than $5 (not including shipping).

[DarKnightofCydonia]

awesome.

[mcjhn]

great vid, great channel.

[Extractables]

Awesome! The captions are accurate, except for the end, when I actually said, "Ooo, I found it..."

herpaderp.

[NatSciDemos]

@Extractables ok we changed it
