BROMINE and ALUMINUM reaction

[dawgsnsuch]

Silly aluminum! Valence electrons are for halogens!

[slimjim561]

for the 1st 10 seconds i was like "oh cool it does NOTHING!"

[pooppeeyoupants]

trolololol love it when that happens :D

[emofaraway]

OMG cool i didnt knew this

[Fourteen88SoCal]

nice bong! lol jk

[hedlundkevin666]

america.

WE MAKE WEPONS OUT OF WEIRD SHIT

[thehantavirus]

where do youget elemental bromine lol

[MommyBird10]

what happens if you smell that stuff...i dont mean just inhale it, but if you just so happen to smell it?

[shelteringshade]

So now you can put benzene in there and produce brombenzene?

[Guitar56561]

Am I the only one wondering where this guy got chlorine from?

[seanbacha]

i found my bong thanks

[gabekid123]

i'll give 60 g's if u make me 20 grams of anthrax

[lzrd0113]

I'm just like, "Oh.... Well that's exciting....." and wait like another minute before it actually does something... lol

[nickalisse]

What would happen if you try Magesium instead of Aluminium?

[stoopidoooo]

wow thats crazy

[vman123abc]

mmm cool - next time sand off some of the the oxidized layer of the aluminium so it reacts more readily

[vman123abc]

@vman123abc -aluminum* - my bad

[piraguaboy]

oh shit! fireworks!

[kdm98]

Good example, but this needs to be very well ventilated. Breathing bromine is not advisable.

[imacowtipper1984]

so that's how they make smoke bombs....hahaha.....deep inhale! that will give you a buzz that will make you sleep.

[Chmielok]

Bromine vapor is produced because the reaction is strongly exothermic and bromine is boiling, right?

[vmelkon]

@Chmielok Yes, bromine is boiling and then going up and condensing and running back down.

[olympicfan2]

do this outside

[airsoftjunkie2]

that orange gas looks good for your lungs :)

[darksideofthebrick13]

bromine is cool.

[benpie12]

looks like blood

[ButterflyNM14]

1:04 hey nothing's happening-- *boom*

[jblove111]

oh my god that is so awesome!

lol

i'm studying bromine right now.,

l0l

this was cool

[simpsoncheat]

oh man that fart at the end smells rank!

[SGplayer08]

What a very interesting reaction. And is all of this equipment a private collection? If so, I would love to have such equipment once I earn my chemE degree. Thanks again for these videos.

[ElAurian]

he wasted to much bromine :-(

[TheDrkKnght1988]

Whoo!! It's an exothermic reaction.

2Al + 3Br2 ===> 2AlBr3 + energy

[wattapassa]

every reaction is exothermic or endothermic, and endothermic ones are rare in simple chemical reactions. one i can think off on the back of my head is ammonium nitrate and barium hydroxide.

[chris536343]

You should have done this outside!

[milotickz]

Ever heard of fumehoods?

[simpsoncheat]

bob sucks on a stick of lard

[andreichikachika]

stop telling him how to be safe!!!!! The vid is about the reaction of Bromine and Aluminum, not who is safe with chemistry!. I think he knows what he's doing!

[kiwkee]

better than a blender

[tdcr08]

woooo thats awsome:D:D:D!!

[U14JamesRyan]

nice smoke

[SandboxFedaykin]

Fumehood?

[dashman02]

wouldnt bromine put a hole through your hand if it touched your skin..?

[KillerAJ]

I'm not sure, but I'm pretty sure H-Br would.

[ENavarrete10]

AlBr3

[crazzydude14]

I dont want to sound stupid but arent those fumes toxic?

[Basco36]

ya.

[bulletman100]

yes very toxic. these types of reactions produce mustard gas and when chlorine is used with the aluminum it makes chlorine gas, which is a weapon used in chemical warfare. very dangerous to breathe.

[Sebbass69]

bulletman100, none of these reactions produce mustard gas....

Mustard gas is 1,5 dichloro- 3 -thiapentane -

No reaction between a metal and non metal (i.e. bromine and aluminum, or bromine and chlorine) will provide the sulfur, or the 5 carbon backbone.... the gases are toxic, but they are not mustard....

[Sebbass69]

excuse me, it should say aluminum and chlorine, not bromine and chlorine...

[proskillz89]

@crazzydude14 its ok to sound stupid :)

[crazzydude14]

@proskillz89 wow reply to a old comment

[proskillz89]

@crazzydude14 that's true. how about that?

[crazzydude14]

@proskillz89 stfu kthanxbai ^_^

[vmelkon]

I like your long test tube.

[surajmehtaw]

thats what she said

[aiqingtianshi]

what is happening in this reaction? what is being formed?

[Basco36]

the aluminum reacts with the bromine giving off white and red fumes of bromine and aluminum bromide.

[Southern661]

@Basco36 What would happen if you mixed aluminum powder and bromine?

[vmelkon]

@Southern661 Things would happen. Bad things. Things that we don't want to happen.

[dnafar]

aluminum bromide

[andreichikachika]

hey, sorry to bother you again, but i am having trouble producing elemental bromine. i have tried running chlorine gas through a solution of sodium bromide. All that is happening for me is the solution turning a red color and some bromine fumes coming out of the glass flask. no dark, heavy liquid bromine forms at all. do you have any idea as to what i am doing wrong?

[tijgerjorri]

Bromine is quite soluble in water. Approx 4 grams of bromine per 100mL of water. Therefore, if you use chlorine to produce bromine, you will have to make a very concentrated solution of NaBr in water and pass loads of chlorine through. Bromien should drop out. Another method is using 1:5 bromate/bromide + acid. I use that to produce my bromine. I just recieved 500gram new potassium bromaten.

CARE! Bromine is highly toxic by inhalation. It is absorbed by the skin and cant be washed off. Burns!

[andreichikachika]

Thanks! you make great videos!

[Basco36]

no I didnt make this from a retort.

I made it by bubbling chlorine gas through a sodium bromide solution.

[TeenageIronman]

@Basco36 2 NaBr + Cl2 → Br2 + 2 NaCl

[andreichikachika]

did you get all of that bromine just from condensing it with a retort, or did you use a different way of making it? if you used a different way, how did you do it?
