  • Nice experiment, i've never seen it in realtime..

    But, ammonium dichromate is well known to couse forms of cancer, look out for that!! The formed chromic oxides are two.

  • Great video 5/5 ! Very cool to see a match start the reaction rather than using a torch or Mg ribbon.

  • Awesome, one of my favorite reactions.

  • I will upload video with the highest quality possible!
