all you need is potassium iodide & sulfuric acid,

Please use caution if you try this experiment,toxic amounts of hydrogen sulfide will be produced. I really do not recommend anybody to try this who is inexperienced.

#1 make a saturated solution of potassium iodide

#2 slowly add consentrated sulfuric acid.( dont let the solution get hot, put it in ice to bring it to room temprature).

#3 after the reaction is complete wash the iodine crystals with lots of water untill pure as can be,

#4 dry the crystals on paper towel then put into sealed container.

  • is there any danger of detonation with this, or are the toxic fumes the only hazard?

  • just a fumes

  • excuse me,but would it be possible to tell me how much KI was dissolved in that solution(KI is quite expensive and im running low)

  • a good amount, dont remember how much

  • There are a huge amount of chemists who don't engage in drug manufacture, but instead in slightly illegal explosives manufacture... and pyrotechnics. Of course, its purely for pleasure, you don't need a big lab to make a bomb. Just visit the hardware store...

    It's a hobby, and they should be darn fucking lucky that we are sticking to it instead of meth making.

  • yeah just dump the washings in your yard! lol

see all

  • the greatest bactericidal agent

  • hey man this is to the creator of da video can u give me a klay out of how much to what u used plz and ty if thats not to much

  • I dont have access to a fume hood,

    As long as i did this experiement out side & with a P2 dust mask on, would this experiement be safe to do, with out any worry of putting myself in danger??

  • @Agentoxedo07 ???? I was just saying I dont want to try this I avoid anything too dangerous

  • @TheBombBros Holy-Terrorist:>*=* I dont know for making sulfur(S) with my stuff of burning hydrogen sulfide.

    H2Sx2 + O2x3 = SO2x2 + H2Ox2

    And the mix in hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide gas and liquid water vapor can make yellow sulfur!

    Probably, water is a catalyzor, i haved this method in youtube video(/watch?v=ZCR1HAad4ww)!

    SO2 + H2Sx2 + H2O = H2Ox3 + Sx3

  • @AndrewM6429 Why. Going outside is another substitute. Many chemists do these sort of things outside.

  • @zmod101 Yes.

  • I love all these really unintelligent you tube chemists. Reminds me of smoking cause its cool. Still could kill you in the end:(

  • does this produce hydrogen sulfide or sulfur dioxide?

  • I have some sodium iodide laying around, would that work as a substitute for potassium iodide?
