10 - Lithium Reactions

Lithium reactions with water and hydrochloric acid. Nothing fancy or unique.

WARNING: Opening batteries is extremely dangerous. Only do so if you feel comfortable and confident in your abilities. Go check out NurdRage's or AnestisLab's video on safe extraction of lithium metal.

@uxa1 yea soo true i know that for a fact same thing happens with hydrochloric acid and aluminium foil

[marvindeshark]

awesome i plan to get some lithium today

[uxa1]

@CrazyforDarkness yup it is, when it hits your lungs it feels like a shotgun!

@22matt19 Too bad! lol...

[22matt19]

@topshoter2007 not that easy here, i pump gas at the busiest gas station hence everybody knows me lol it sucks

[topshoter2007]

@22matt19 wear a cap, never tilt your head up and be bold as brass

[22matt19]

@topshoter2007 must be nice haha the only place to get them in my town has tons of camera's

[topshoter2007]

@22matt19 i steal all my batterys!!

[ephemeralspecter]

what's left at the bottom of the flask after the ignited reaction, and what are the chemical equations involved, i enjoyed when you gave a thorough breakdown of it

Overall, it was a nice presentation but not everybody can read the text as quickly as you allowed. It is distracting to try n read while also trying to observe an explosion. Can you either separate the act of reading text from the act of viewing the video or leave the text around a bit longer so that viewers can observe the chemistry, then read about it?
