chemical reaction, how to make a chemical "fog"

[the911ization]

where can i get potassium permanagate we dont have a chemical shop

[Zone51]

@the911ization I had mine in an chemistry kit (For kids!), but such kits aren't sold anymore in my country. You can try to buy it on internet, but you can have trouble with legislation since Pot. Perm. is used in drug making. BUT I think you can use Manganese oxide, wich is more common.

[mazin8197]

what were both things

[thefamouskaytay]

Replay button 0:30 because I know you want to

[killerkyle2008]

i know this sounds stupid but what is the name of tool you are using to put the potassium permanganate in the beaker?

[Zone51]

@killerkyle2008 Spatula i think.

[zizilmynizil]

well that was lame! :(

[cheddarman41]

I pee on the side of the toilet to make less noise. LIKE IF YOU DO TOO.

[misswuxu]

is that a powder??

[JavAnarkoMet]

@clicata00 i wouldnt do that i were you but go for it

[IsabellaCrusade]

Could you put a food coloring to make it colored??

[Zone51]

@IsabellaCrusade I really don't know... :/

[IsabellaCrusade]

@Zone51

Last one, how much K202 did you put?? Is it 1 teaspoon??

BTW Thanks. ^_^

[Zone51]

@IsabellaCrusade By K2O2 do you mean H2O2? H2O2 is the incolor liquid, so 10ml should be enough. You only need a few KMnO4, less than a gram. It's expensive and very reactive.

[IsabellaCrusade]

@Zone51

Thanks, the experiment was succesful, though the the food coloring didn't work much. ^^

[WatchPlayDownload]

@IsabellaCrusade Add powder dye.

[jayrelponder]

ayy what did u use an wt was the procedure

[JavAnarkoMet]

only bad thing is that also a very high oxigen concentration can also make you pass out

[Zone51]

@JavAnarkoMet Yes, if i repeat this experiment hundreds of times, in a closet...

[bootlehistory]

thankyou for your reply I will forward to your next reply

[bootlehistory]

I do not really know much about science, I was wondering if you could help me with a query , if you were in a small shower room that has no venterlation , and you ran a very hot shower for many hours would the steam depete the oxygen in the room , hope this does not sound to silly a question thankyou

[Zone51]

@bootlehistory  It's a very good question, sometimes i feel bad in a bathroom because of the steam... I think this have to deal with oxygen concentration in the air. The normal concentration is about 21.7%, we pass out at 16%, we die at less than 14.5%. When you generate steam in a closed place, the oxygene concentration decrease. The question is, does the air can be saturated enough with water to be dangerous? I don't have the answer now, i have to work my thermodynamic lessons. :)

[BigSmileswitlooks]

wa? i dont understand what he's sayin what did you use for this experiment?

[Zone51]

@BigSmileswitlooks potassium permanganate and hydrogen peroxide

[zizzydeath]

@Zone51 Well, at least we know you failed your English and literature class. nice ;)

[Zone51]

@zizzydeath Haha this video is old, i hope i've improved my english! :/

[deltajegga]

that cant be healthy...

[lawrencevilleman]

NOt a fog.. a poof.

[862ocelot]

You´re an idiot, the white gas is the Oxygen liberation. Put a open flame (a candle) next to the erlenmeyer to see the increase in the combustion. Moron!!!!!

[Zone51]

@862ocelot Sorry but all gas are invisibles. What you see on the video is water steam, because the beaker became very hot. There is also Oxygen liberation, but you can't see it.

[862ocelot]

@Zone51, I´m really shock!!! Why you don´t read a little more?? A hot gas go up, and a cool gas go down, and that gas isn´t hot! so isn´t water steam. I´ recomend you to study a little of physic chemestry

[Zone51]

@862ocelot Actually, i'm student in physic... The steam go up at first because of the eat and the oxygen stream, then, it become cooler, and go down, steam is also a very heavy gas. In fact, that's not a story about gas temperature but about gas density! Actually, that's not only steam but lot of little water drops, a fog.

[flip245]

and were do u buy Potassium permanganate

[flip245]

were did you get your lab glasswre?

[reubenthorpe1992]

ebay chump

[angelcel1]

cool

[mario1234camachos]

how can we use in the commun life ?

[wcdfilms]

h2o2 is a very common house hold item hydrogen peroxide

[obel90]

i guess this defies 'no smoke without fire'

[phoenix45174]

cool a simple cool science project

[wcfcarolina13]

Would those chemicals be inexpensive and easy to come by? I'm looking for a simple science project.

[Zone51]

You can find those chemicals in a drugstore or a Pharmacist, hydrogen peroxyde is cheap, Potassium permanganate is more expensive, but you don't need a lot of it.

[mrfunkysax]

it is :S

[puredesiness]

im doing this for my chem summative for sure(y)

[XxsmileymoonxX]

0:01 is the best! lol

[zdudey]

0:32 woot woot!

[bryeinsteinmc2]

I think MnO4- is the stuff that is inside batteries. It is the dark stuff. Once i try it and it worked!

[Zone51]

Nop, MnO2 is the stuff, I'll try with it.

[SoronII]

MnO4 Is permanganate, Does potassium permanganate work also? (KMnO4)

[Chemateur]

The stuff in the video IS potassium permanganate. Notice the "-" after the MnO4. I think he was talking about the manganate ion, but i could be wrong.

[Chemateur]

The things used here are 6% hydrogen peroxide and potassium permanganate(KMnO4). The permanganate acts as a catalyst for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide.

2H2O2→ 2H2O + O2

[tranx4868]

0:08 - 0:12 epic sound

[MacroVamp]

Is that kaustic soda and some metal?

[Zone51]

Does anybody read video's description pleeeeeeeeaaaase? :(

[gir553]

thats how they do it in the movies. i thought they used dry ice

[Zone51]

I think they use dry ice, because it's very cheaper!

[Christian32500]

no no dry ice

Hydrogen Peroxide and Potassium Permanganate

[siriusblack9999]

THIS is hydrogen peroxide and potassium permanganate, they were talking about what they use in movies

[Christian32500]

i know that THIS is hydrogen peroxide and potassium permanganate!

[icekid909]

what chemical was used? reaply plz.

[cmcshane06]

Hydrogen Peroxide and Potassium Permanganate

[fresc69]

the potassium permangenate is used as a catylist, it isnt used up in the reaction, uts just the decompostion oh Hydrogen Peroxide

[cmcshane06]

Ok, thank you for making that clear.

[mariamaginty]

awesome wats the poit of livin if theres no science????????

[ElmOooRoXxx]

awsomme =O hehee

[Luckzzz]

my city is that way ;/

[angeldoc2004]

what the heck!you didn't even justify it. and anyway nice one!

[angusyoungmyhero73]

WOOSH!

[AndrewLop123]

WHERE DID YOU GET THE SUPLIES

[Zone51]

Pierron Education and Ebay

[KooKooCow]

Dont attempt this inless you have exsperience with chemistry the fluid is h202 the powder he inserts with the scupla is KMnO4

[BuiltCrazy]

what percent h202?

[KooKooCow]

30 percent i belive

[thumple]

i hate it it has how to but it tells how to to do jack-didely-squat =(

[Zone51]

I don't really understand what you said :/, I explained it in video's informations: Using H2O2 and potassium permanganat. I know, i wrote it in french, but chemical's names doesn't really change...

[thumple]

lol that was my sister -shes trying to make me look stupid-

i need to stop leaving my account on =L

lol srry

[Zone51]

I've edited video's information, I hope it is more understandable now...

[cannibal1000]

it's not steam. it's oxygen. the permanganate oxidizes the peroxide to oxgen and water.

[Zone51]

Oxygen is a gas, so it's invisible...

[mannys9130]

Steam does not sink such as the gas in the video. I do not know what it is, however oxygen does seem correct. It could also be a mixture of the two!

[Zone51]

It does! beacause steam in the vidéo aren't very hot, and steam is denser than air. But i agree with you, it's not steam but...water! Steam condenses into tiny liquid water droplets in the air.

[carlosr428]

but if its steam why does it go down?

[ka2lka2l]

is tHat a Hot waTer>???

what is tHe name of tHat a small with an orraNge cover!????

[abbylan15]

cool

[zezi332]

its called dry ice he crushed and put in a spice container ^.^

[EFTyphoon2000]

What happens to the Kalium and MnO4 exactly - could s.o. please post the reaction :

H202+KMn04 -> ???

[indianajimbo]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­A Thats really funny. I can see a career in this.

[Khronnus]

You do that, and when you have cancer and a shit lung from all the smoke you breath in don't come crying. This is steam, not smoke. Read the side arse.

[UTo098]

jackjhonson has to try it

[RapperNBT]

thats amzaing

[jimmyisherenow]

Cool, I should try it some day.

[hiroki203]

never try it its cold it not oxygen

[Gerr32]

TOT

[300JL]

po mal! ;)

[300JL]

po mal! ;)

[ZackRich022494]

the "smoke" is oxygen

[Zone51]

dioxygen (O2)

[bobalooie]

when u say oxygen, 02 is implied because it refers to oxygen in its gaseous state

[erikbokk99]

cool! i have to try it!

[danngree]

thats just hydrogenperoxide (the stufff you put on cuts) and Manganese. it gets really hot and shoots steam....as you can probably tell from the video....so nvm lol

[danandjoeproductions]

well that was shit try MELTING

potassium nitrate

and

sugar

together then lightin that

[Voldemort1857]

AWESOME

[iceteaguy]

I'd rather light something on fire.

[eagle1219]

yeah me to

[N1njaM1ke]

That's how the cool kids make smoke.

[pooniman1]

lol. as a chem major I totally love this video. it's elementary, but still fun

[mabakken]

Nice video!

[T2024]

dude,  CO is the way to go!

[Zone51]

Some reactions can make very very dangerous gas like Cl2...

[xXJuAuXx]

No fake

[tyler209459023523]

I know easier ways to make smoke.

[endoftheline76]

FAKE!!

[SeineDudeheit]

o_O

[linuxSLVR]

you've checked through many experiments and just wrote "FAKE!!" everywhere... That is damn poor!

[threein4]

YOU HAZ LUNIX IN YO SCREENAME UTSF

[linuxSLVR]

Can't spell Linux, what?...

[threein4]

you fail at it. ['it' is t3h internets]

[linuxSLVR]

I fail at what??? And if you would think I have LittleUnix in my name: Get yourself a pair of glasses...

[keruhl238]

This video was most likely 27-30% hydrogen peroxide(Pool Chemical) decomposing with a Manganese Dioxide catalyst(MnO2). I have done this reaction many times and the smoke is actually water vapor. Water vapor is created due to the intense heat of the decomposition.

-Chemist

[T2024]

that doesnt explain why the "water vapor" seeps down to the floor, steam is less dense than air so it should float

[ibrahim77]

its an endowthermic reaction. it turns cold, and smoke gets denser then the air

[jamesfraser92]

it's actually exothermic: it releases heat into its enviroment. don't know why your talking bout smoke tho.

[threein4]

yes but i'm doing yo mum

-ruler of the world

[plastichromeman]

mate ive had more smoke off a spliff!!

[king32894]

no reaction, just a catalyst being added.

MnO4 acted as the catalyst for 2H2O2 -> 2H2O + O2

[Zone51]

They are a reaction too, MnO4- -> MnO2

but I agree with you, MnO4 acted as a catalyst for the dismutation of H2O2

[lxlGenclxl]

or you can make a fire.

[davdd69]

LIES that is no reaction!!!

the MnO4 was just a catalyst for

2H2O2 -> 2H2O + O2

[Jultina101]

can you pls give me the materials i need??

[Aeboi720]

thats wierd..those looked crushed "happy" pills

XD

[sgbr101]

another way to make smoke is to light a match and blow it out :|

[ranakaishu]

fosfuric acid (i know i spelt wrong)

[Aymblm]

It's spelled phosphoric, but this was sweet.

[gangbanghat123]

what percent was the H202?

[WassupBRanG]

u could probably make something explode if you contained it

[chester7420]

no, its nothing like the mist.

[BEanSAtdOWnyESteRDay]

Looks like the Mist...

[iwannasee1001]

that was cool..

[WaterFireSoup]

Its Oxygen

[Zone51]

And steam =)

[WaterFireSoup]

Indeed

[jack6565]

spiffing.

[numantunak]

What would happen if you put MORE in?!

[rag3d]

pyrex ftw what would we do without them

[CroatianRocket93]

if you mix magnesium and zink(i think, or maybe its sulphur) and drop some water on it youl get a big bright flame and of course smoke.

[phj1990]

A very nice, but somewhat dangerous way to make smoke is the following:

Place 2 petri dishes beside each other, one filled with solid NaOH (a tiny bit wettened with water) and the other with concentrated H2SO4.

Now drop into each petri dish a spoon full of NH4Cl.

This is probably the most spectacular manner of making smoke.

[Jer6317]

Even better and easier to obtain is mixing of household ammonia and hydrochloric acid. The produce white smoke when they come into contact. The resulting salt(NH4HCl) be burnt to produce more smoke.

[powterpowter]

i have an easier way to make smoke ...........just burn some thing

[lane71794]

lol thats true

[vaultmantk]

thats neat how the smoke rose and then fell

[Masta2130]

I love chemistry. What substances did you used for the experience?

[Zone51]

Mno4- in powder and H2O2 at 6% !!!!!!!

[Demodrus]

woo, lots of oxygen, now put a burning Mg ribbon or burning sulphur in it, or even Phosporus (white hehe)

[metal0artist0kyle]

wat are the chemicals you use?

[Zone51]

Mno4- in powder and H2O2 at 6%

[kannanballs]

gay!
