Ammonium Dichromate Volcano (HD)

Volcano Experiment two drops of acetone is added to the bright orange Ammonium dichromate, (NH4)2Cr2O7 and ignited. It locks like a volcano in action.
The reactions if exothermic.
The products formed are Chromium (III) oxide, nitrogen gas and steam.
(NH4)2Cr2O7(s) → Cr2O3(s) + N2(g) + 4H2O(g)

cool, but where you got ammonium dichromate?

[ThScience]

Thanks,I got mine from svenskakemi (. nu)

you can also find it on ebay ^^

[dhwanitchem]

Well Done! i entitle you a great chemist

[ThScience]

Thank you :)

Nice done, I really liked that you used text on the chemicals you were using, and that you also had the reactions equalization and explained what happened. Keep up the good work^^

[ThScience]

Thank you very much!

Another way to ignite the ammonium dichromate is to get a firework fuse and put it in the middle of the chemical.

people like you are very irresponsable as Ammonium Dichromate is very very toxic you should say how important it is to use the proper mask for toxic vapors.

If you carry on like this you will be dead long before it is your time.

Just a safty note please adhere to this advice if you want to live a normal life if not go ahead

[HazMatLabz]

can you make ammonium dichromate with say ammonium nitrate and a dichromate compound?

[trfccurt07]

Haha wow

[larskristianmovie]

gjør du noe med oksiden, som ble laget etter at det brant?
