Nitrogen triiodide synthetisis (touch powder) from potassium iodine KI

synthetisis of nitrogen triiodide (NI3) with common chemicals.

DON'T TRY THIS IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING ! Chems used and vapor this process involve are TOXIC and the final result is a strong ULTRA unstable high explosive that will detonate if you try anything (even a breath will detonate it)...

The video can't restitute the real power of NI3, but a few grams in a close room can make you deaf !

There's no possible application for it ! This is only a thing to do for educational purpose !

Last thing : NO MATTER WHAT, THE PLACE YOU'LL LET THE NI3 DRY WILL BE THE PLACE IT WILL EXPLODE !

If its not suluble why is the water brown

[Gastripolux]

@IodineVapour Because smallest particles are in suspension (like when you put earth in water. Earth isn't soluble, but the water turn brown for a long time)

That is a terrible way of making NI3. Just add iodine to concentrated ammonia.

[Gastripolux]

@licetdavid As terrible as explaining how to make water burning H2 and O2 and to show on the same video how to make hydrogen from an electrolysis or a HCl+Al reaction... Terrible, because everybody should have pressurized hydrogen at home !

Here's the way to make NI3 when you only have KI... There's already a load of vid on youtbe to make NI3 from pure iodine (wich is hard to find and danegrous), not from a iodine salt !

And you don't need concentrated ammonia. 10% is more than enough.

I can't say that it's absolutely useless it's realy useful for jokes as a paste that dryes and becomes unstable and in water it's quite safe. For example but a drop on someones notebook)))))

[Gastripolux]

@nickoolay lol, i would'nt use a high explosive "for a joke"...

NI3 is a strange fun thing, but is still an explosive.

[IodineVapour]

@Gastripolux Take it from me Iodine is slightly soluble in H2O have you ever heard of Lugols Iodine solution this is iodine dissolved in water

[antiswattt2]

@Gastripolux i agree, but with proportions like 0.01 gram it will go off before the person will get their hands on it.. (; also you can get some little paper triangles with about 0.05 gram of some HE on, to put inside cigarettes..

take care of your baby instead of making explosives

[wright2112]

Great idea from KI. Back in the day we would get concentrated ammonia and iodine crystals from a private pharmacy (They were all private locally owned and sold a variety of chemicals). Really cool stuff to play with as a kid it is really safe. Never new about the Iodine from KI trick. Now that things are more difficult, With conc. Amonia the reaction is very exothermic with irritating fumes. Good job.

why is there a penis to the right side of the page?

[tomahshari2009]

this is what we did in CHEM 2 in High school...so awesome!!
