Reaction of aluminium with bromine

[strvela]

PS: WHAT THE FACK WAS THAT!? (epic)

[strvela]

Thumbs up if you stumbled upon this doing a science project on either aluminum or Bromine.

[MrMonarchMan]

because i couldn't tell the difference between aluminium and bromine.

[pattybridge1]

Too much for a primary classroom. Needs audio to explain the procedure.

[Spartan396]

@pattybridge1 A teacher should be sufficient to explain: attach a clamp capable of stably holding a test tube to a ring stand. Put a test tube in that clamp, pour the bromine into the test tube, and then carefully lower your rolled aluminum foil into the test tube. As always, wear proper safety equipment: gloves, an apron, and goggles; and do this under a fume hood!

As an added bonus, get the class to use stoichiometry to calculate how much bromine is needed! Yay, science.

BREATH DEAPLY

[thienlongist]

is it Al + Br2 ----> AlBr3 ???



[GerryRich100]

@thienlongist

2Al + 3Br2 > 2 ALBr3

[thupratvideo]

@GerryRich100 Al + Br3 ---> AlBr3

[GerryRich100]

@thupratvideo

Br3? now where are you getting that?

[thupratvideo]

@GerryRich100 Aluminium (+13) brom (+35) if u know how to make atoms then u see why

[thienlongist]

is it Al + Br2 ----> AlBr3 ???

[mogeroithe]

I would imagine those fumes are toxic?

[AskMrScience]

Aluminum bromide smoke. Don't breathe this!

[established11794]

Bromine+Aluminum=Chemical Love <3

[spotlightman1234]

@established11794 intimate electron sharing (more like stealing).

volcano!

[naruto42d]

that is soo awesome!! im doing this element for my chemistry project!

[Trapedinabox]

@naruto42d me too :D

[naruto42d]

@Trapedinabox awesome =]

[mgschutze]

That dosent look violent-- oh nevermind.

Aluminium is passivated in air, I think pure bromine can't not attack it. The reaction can start may be bromine has a little water , formation HBr can remove the passivate layer , so the reaction can happen

[nickalisse]

what is the kind of bromine used in pool or water purifying agent. Is there a way of

'' transforming '' some reactants to result with real bromine???

[TheCaptainLulz]

@nickalisse the bricks no, but if you have the 2 part system the sodium bromide can be changed to salt and bromine. There are other videos here on YT that show you how.

[lovelovebuggy]

THAT IS AWESOME!!!!!

[brittanyseaward]

how do you dispose of the Bromine?

[TomatoBreadOrgasm]

The reaction goes to completion: there is essentially none left as long as bromine is your limiting reactant.

If it's not, add more aluminum. :P

[SuperLuigi150942]

huh this is what Im doing in my scinevnce class XD

[ExplosiveScience]

Great video

Caramba!Um verdadeiro inferno em chamas.

Bromine is a liquid - the puck and granular form would not be bromine, but a compound containing bromine.

'liquid chlorine' is actually a solution of a compound that contains chloring - it is not the element chlorine on its own. Chlorine, the element is a gas. Even if you could get it, it would be even more reactive with Aluminium than bromine is, and is dangerous.

This group of elements on the Periodic Table are quite dangerous. Chlorine gas was used in WW1 to kill many soldiers.

[HazMatLabz]

yes, but you can make elemental liquid chlorine by exposing chlorine gas to temperatures below -35 celsius.

[albgk]

but you wouldnt see that is a pool supply store

[HazMatLabz]

i just said exactly how you would see it :P

[albgk]

do you live in a cryogenic freezer, cus where i live dosent get anywhere close to -35 celcius for me to see liquid chlorine... lol jk... yeah i was just defending his statement.... but yes you are correct

[DustDevil098]

where can i get bromine?

[antiswattt]

plz where can i get bromine

[Canon60d]

Any pool and Spa supply centre will sell bromine in puck and granular form. I don't know where to get it in liquid form.

[lithiumw]

"Granular bromine" is not bromine in its elemental form. It's juste a bromine compound.

Elemental bromine is very difficult to obtain, it's extremely dangerous.

[TeslaKaniv]

wooow. that is coolest chemical video i'v seen. and i'v seen alot.

[b43e65f77]

may liquid chlorine instead of bromine

[Tgasparian]

Really nice reaction, did i see smoke get trough the glass?
