Elementary Productions: Dehydration of Sugar by H2SO4

[Dri0m]

um, isn´t max.conc of h2so4 97%

[SCtiiger]

DAMN, NATURE!

[Getier2k]

bon apetit !

[Bernler75]

Wow! I kinda feel the smell of that through the screen x)

I bet it smells even worse than what it looks like...

[ZibiAMVStudio2009]

I wonder if you can drink H2SO4 :)) maybe if you're an alien :))

[ColonCleansification]

@ZibiAMVStudio2009

Yeah, I have totally tasted H2SO4.

Tastes like lemon! and afterwards the tip of my tongue was blistered.

@ColonCleansification

If you would have taken a bigger sip you would have been a perfect example of evolution, the guy who tastes stuff in the lab doesn't live long enough to have kids.

[plaidchuck]

fascinating!

[benforshee]

1:04 its like one of those snake things u get on the fourth of july that u light on fire and it grows

[BenHBX]

what is the minimum concentration of sulphuric acid that will dehydrate sugar?

[Frresh123]

around 85 % i´d guess.

[PolarisUSMC]

You can figure it out mathematically. Sucrose is C12 H22 O11 and we already know H2(SO4).

So: C12 H22 O11 + H2(SO4) -> H2O + CO2 + SO2 + C

In balancing the chemical equation, you can then estimate in moles how much H2(SO4) you'll need to complete the reaction via limiting reagents. IIRC they're both a 1:1 ratio for the reactants. Just work out the molarity of what you'll need next and that should tell you how much you need.

охуена !

[BPOTMHEHOrN]

хуя се))))) прикольно

Johnny was a chemist's son,

But Johnny is no more.

What Johnny thought was H20

was H2SO4.

[metalmorfwsi]

holy shit! what is this black thing?

[kennytran4]

Charcoal/Carbon

[c1f234]

carbon XD

[KalleVL]

I had a little brother. That brother is no more.

He drank what he thought was H2O but it was H2So4:-D

[sohighmidlife]

that would suck you drank that

[huskybro360]

is this what is in those cobra black snake fireworks that you light on the ground? A sugar and an acid?

[mabakken]

No, that would be Mercury Thiocyanate, or a similar compound :)

[robanskinolfen]

sorry, i meant 1:48

[robanskinolfen]

LOL at 1:38 ... its a boy! no wait, its a turd

[pyro4life3456]

will this make the sugar a better fuel or a worse fuel?

[dragonridley]

Sulfur dioxide and water, don't those form sulfuric acid and hydrogen gas?

[tommmmmmmmx]

does that happen in your guts when you eat sugar?

[mabakken]

Fortunately, no.

The concentration of Acid in your stomach is far too low for a reaction like that to happen. Besides, it's not Sulfuric, but Hydrochloric acid in your stomach =)

[norfdak377]

it took a crap

[Ruben19902]

Fortsett og post videoer! De er alltid spennende å se på! Vær mer aktiv på WiP. Vi trenger sånne som deg, som har god erfaring og peiling:)

[mabakken]

Jo tusen takk for det :)

Problemet med WiP er at det skjelden er noen Kjemi- posts, og min erfaring i pyroteknikk er ganske begrenset, kan man si! :P

[mozartthebest]

The gas is not toxic?

[mabakken]

The Sulfur Dioxide released is toxic! Apart from that it's only steam and Carbon Dioxide.

[jmmatos23]

That's a classic =)

[mabakken]

I know =):P
