Supercritical transition of liquid Chlorine

this is the inflation of the universe.

this is soo cool!!! ...why are you named like the periodic table videos? are you "related"?

@Defonthana

No, I am not related with the periodicvideos. I am running my own project periodictable.ru

As a superheated liquid is heated in a sealed container, pressure from the gas above increases until the liquid and gas states merge into a new state as a supercritical fluid which appears more like a gas. But I cannot imagine the destruction if this glass container burst in the hot oil.

cool stuff, thanks for upping

Why is there a purple/brown flash? Is the energy involved with the state change cause some kind of electronic transistion state?

How was the ampoule sealed in the first place?

[wwwperiodictableru]

By cooling down in the liquid nitrogen and sealing on the oxygen torch.

I wish there were more explanation of what is happening

[vmelkon]

it is funny that the small glass ample is able to withstand so much pressure.

@vmelkon

Not glass but quartz.

[wwwperiodictableru]

Yes, but notice the wall thickness! OD is 4 mm ID is 2 mm. So, calculated burst pressure is something like 200 bar!

@wwwperiodictableru Nice! what is the type of that glass?

[wwwperiodictableru]

@DJFamou5 This is thick walled quartz capillary. OD 4 mm ID 2 mm.
