Sulfur in pure oxygen

[pisanghangus2]

can you die sniffing the stuff in the jar ?

[TheMrPaker]

Whoa :O

[8uddy8oy]

is the sulfur dioxide in solid or gaseous state?

[SINOWred]

ugh that probably smelled so bad.

[yo6ial]

@SINOWred Only when it reached the moisture in someones nostrils. :D

[umaxen01]

Pure Oxygen? I thought Oxygen was explosive when heat is applied? Is this safe?

[MrAcid1000]

@umaxen01

Hydrogen is explosive not Oxygen ;)

[M3ta1XH3ad]

This is either a super meth lab or how mario's mushrooms are made

[PyreManiacz]

I can fap to this. o_o amazing ;3

[Biospark88]

@poopdownyourthroat I love the colors too. And the allotropes, the redox potential... Not to mention it's the element of ETERNAL DAMNATION! Mwahahaha!

[Geoffmetal]

Actually I will correct myself there, H2SO4 is sulfuric acid, H2S is Hydrogen Sulfide gas and it bloody stinks! Don't breathe that shit in!

[GrimGrizzly13]

@Geoffmetal H2S is also deadly, i live in north dakota where an oil boom is going on and H2S that leaks from the well kill people every year, they say the first thing that goes is your sense of smell, and then it starts to shut your body systems down, so they say when you stop smelling it get the fuck out

[Geoffmetal]

I have to work with that stuff, it is pure evil! H2SO4 which is the gas it gives off is nasty, gotta carry a respirator at all times and a gas detector

[nr2237]

use it as a bong?

[Jeansieguy]

Touch it!

[flickeries]

And so the secrets of Brimstone are unveiled! Magicians of the world, UNITE! ~

[BankaiIchigo12345]

Looks like a microwave powered sulfur lamp.

[gettingahandle]

TTell Donald to BREATHE DEAPLY

[yudarren7]

MAKE DONALD TRUMP SMOKE THAT STUFF!!!

[bestamerica]

'

look alike HID light

[007guy19]

Well, don't try this at home I assume? xD, actually this looks interesting, where'd you get sulfur?

[Arensx]

mix it with water to make sulfuric acid

[Mel0The0Vin]

awesome night light

[hempartist420]

don't play holmes don't play

[chucknorris0325]

wow that room probably smelled like shit haha cool flame tho

[douro20]

Not only S + O2 --> SO2, but also:

2S + 3O2 --> 2SO3

And, because there is H2O present:

H2O + SO3 -> H2SO4

[MrAcid1000]

@douro20

Fail.

If that would be so easy, everyone could make sulfuric acid, it;s not possible.

[Cubroncs03]

@MrAcid1000 I've heard this method described with the presence of a platinum catalyst... is there a reason you say it is not possible? Thus far I believed this was an antiquated method of producing sulfuric acid (though is now done with Vanadium Oxide )

[thawdani]

now make sulfuric acid with that gas!~

[RCM442]

That's really a beautiful color!

[glowjh]

Sulfur went in and "AHHHHHHHHHH!" *super saiyan 3*

[tadashimori]

Now take a deep breath at that gas.

[utkanos]

@tadashimori its imposible to take deep breath of SO2 gas when conc reaches more than 500ppm

[tadashimori]

@utkanos lol, I sent this msg 7 months ago, I didnt even remember this. But thanks for the information xD

[Phacias]

The definition of blue.

[jcjlf]

Not only sulfur dioxide forms (invisible gas) but also sulfur trioxide (smoke).

[TrueXile420]

I wonder if I could do that in my bong

[Zero0050]

How to make a wisp.

[AZNjimmyKID]

it looks like a human soul from soul eater lol the pic i mean

[EdevoK]

The blue glow of the reaction after the light is switched off looks like how harry potter does Expecto Petronus....LOL

[tomashcu60]

@EdevoK Hahahahhaha, that's just special effects... I WISH IT WERE REAL LMAO!

[EdevoK]

@tomashcu60 i knw ...'m tellin it looks like

[tomashcu60]

@EdevoK Yer i knowww :D

[Meecoseven]

Man that must smell really really terrible

[trwhite4747]

AWESOME!!!! I love it!!!!!!!!! :D

[vkorinfsky]

oooo! oxidizing

[carmeline511]

where can i get air?

[DblSwrdUser]

it makes a good lamp xD

[TonyLozada27]

Whats in your hand?

DOG TAGS!

Whats in his?

BLUE LIGHT!

Don't get it? Look up the Halo Reach Literal Trailer by Tobuscus.

[Ormaaj]

It  must not consume the oxygen very fast to keep going like that in a bottle.

[tothpickman]

use liquid oxygen

[poopdownurthroat]

Sulfur in general is just cool. So colorful, yellow solid, red liquid and blue when burned. Haha nice vid.

[kbob4000]

Cool.

[imaball]

could you do this in the regular air? not having a flask with 02 in it?

[ChemToddler]

@imaball no, else it would have happened :-)

[MrKennethMcbride]

@ChemToddler But after burning the sulfur, it was already combusting in air before you put it in the flask. Just that it wasn't as big as when it was pure oxygen than to air.

[Kalywonkas]

@imaball The pure oxygen makes the flame noticeable

.

[nattsurfaren]

What would happen if you put nitrogen in this tube?

Would it produce NOx?

[yukislover16]

Are they doing that in a fumehood o.o?

[HentaLover56]

If you did that in the 16th you would be burn by the people calling you a witch.

[coolliger]

Is SO2 heavier than air?

[dwerg2k]

@coolliger

Yes it is and smells like hell with a bad taste, not the crap smell like H2S.

[cakecheese55]

For how long does it burn?

[mewrox99]

does any of the so2 get oxidised to so3

[pyropakman]

No. That would require a vanadium pentoxide catalyst.

[sdhdgasd]

niccccce

[potassiumperchlorate]

O and the formula of sulfur is not S but S8. Loose sulfur atoms do not exist.

Nice demonstration vid btw..

[luisz122]

Cool video

[B1gape]

why does sulfur burn blue? do it always do this?

[potassiumperchlorate]

Learn some chemistry..

Yes it allways will, blue is the emision spectrum of sulfur.

Thought the reaction looks cool it has to be done in a well ventilated fumehood, SO2 is verry toxic and irritating.

[B1gape]

well you can teach me how about that

[Davioware]

it looks heavier than air

[pyropakman]

@Davioware: It is. Air is mostly nitrogen and oxygen, N2 and O2, so it has a molar mass somewhere between 28 and 32, but more towards the 28.

Sulfur Dioxide, SO2 has a molecular weight of about 64, so it is definitely heavier. :D

[jordan09258]

coool......

[flickeries]

Wizards Fire!

[kandams0415]

why do u have to burn it with the fire???

what would happen if u just put the sulfur powder into the oxygen?

[redtails]

Absolutely nothing, transition-state energy is too high, it needs warmth to start the reaction

[MariusSemeonOrtiz]

cool. But SO2 is a pollutant gas, be sure to dispose of it correctly.

Also, I've studied to contact process for making H2SO4 in some depth so I know the SO2 won't form sulphuric acid with water since first Sulphur(VI) Oxide must be formed which is a reversible reaction involving catalysts and is even so, not very favorable for the product SO3.

So anyway, what happens when SO2 mixes with water, does it react at all or just dissolve?

[coolliger]

@MariusSemeonOrtiz

sulfurous acid is formed

[antiswattt2]

@coolliger

Sulfuric Acid? q:

[coolliger]

No, sulfuric acid is SO3. Sulfurous is SO2

[antiswattt2]

Sulfuric Acid is H2SO4 (: SO2 is sulfur dioxide? q: i think SO3 is sulfur tridioxide

[coolliger]

Yes, I know. I was answering MariusSemeonOrtiz's question (he asked about reactions with water). When SO2 (sulfur dioxide) reacts with water, it yields sulfurous acid. When SO3 (sulfur trioxide)reacts with water, it yields sulfuric acid.

[antiswattt2]

you sure you just cant bubble alot of SO2 gas through water to get H2SO4? ive heard it alot of times before.. also chemistry teachers and such.. and NurdRage i think that he uses that method in his H2SO4 video.. (:

[coolliger]

Yes, I am sure. NurdRage uses SO2 and an oxidizer, not water. When SO2 is bubbled through an oxidizer, it gains the extra O (obviously), so to convert it to SO3. He does this because the above method is much easier and safer than generating pure SO3 and bubbling that through water.

[Torvaun]

@antiswattt2

Personally, I bubble SO2 through hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to make sulfuric acid (H2SO4)

[vikro11]

and sulfurous acid slowly oxidizes in the presence of air and turns into sulfuric acid.

[I3AM0CJ]

wrong hes right. cant have an acid with out some hydrogen

[axen12345]

very nice

[frasc12]

It a crystal ball..... but my fortune looks blue......=(

[P4brains]

doesn't that stink? its really cool though!

[evansp12]

Excellent demonstration. Such lovely color.

[pyrogeniuses]

ive always loved chemistry and may i say this has got to be one of the coolest blue flames ive ever seant.did it smell good in there?haha!

[magicman667]

damn thats cool. :)
