Again this product is suitable for the acids and alkalis we work with.

If I ever could picture a stereotype of a scientist in my head. He would have the top prize. SCIENCE!

I love this man. He could talk about the material properties of wood and I would watch it. He’s just so wholesome.

Years ago I was installing a new plating lone at a chrome shop. The week previous someone had been doing maintenance on one of the existing lines and fallen on the chrome tank. It was full of just this chromium trioxide and sulfuric acid at 130F that a current was passed through to deposit the chrome on the parts. The individual survived the initial injury, but got chrome metal poisoning and dies a few weeks later. So the safety department did a whole presentation and the end of it was dipping in a cotton rag to the solution and throwing it on the floor. The end result was the rag auto-igniting and burning furiously from the heat generated and the release of oxygen from the decomposition of the chrome trioxide. I agree with Neil. His mixture is substantially more dangerous.

@Periodic Videos, It could be interesting to do the same experiment but with strong bases.

Sounds like Neil has given this matter a lot of thought. Has anyone gone missing in your area?

His calmness when explaining the gruesome experiment gives me the chills

Interesting subject yet a calming video. Well done!

I've seen videos about victims of acid attacks where bystanders do nothing. Can you pour baking soda on the victim's face to help counteract the acid? Or would that make it worse?

There is a firm in the USA promoting disposal of human bodies using alkali, not acid. Can't remember which one. Update. There's an article on Wikipedia under the title Alkaline hydrolysis (Body Disposal). Guess this would work better on the chicken leg.
