Im just starting the video and when he said he needs bromine for another project and not for play.... I knew it. He's gonna take on... _The Cube_.

It gave me a chill when he had that mixture of bromine and sulfuric in the seperatory funnel and shook it. Very nice video.

The alumium plus bromine reaction makes anhydrous aluminum bromide which is extremely useful for organic chemistry as well. You can also use it to make lithium aluminum hydride from lithium hydride in THF. ❤️

Adding this to the collection of bromine cooking content!!!

bromine dissolved in chloroform works great in reactions. make sure to shield it from light though, as it may be able to react with the solvent rather than the reactant otherwise.

Love your accent and humour.

@Amateur Chemistry I saw that you wanted to know the overall reaction. Well, like you said, the potassium permanganate forms permanganic acid when reacting with sulfuric acid (since there was quite a good amount of water added to the boiling flask, no manganese heptoxide could be formed by the dehydration of permanganic acid) which oxidizes the bromide ions to elemental bromine and if you think carefully enough will see that some sulfuric acid is needed to form manganese sulfate and potassium sulfate or even potassium bisulfate if you added an excess of sulfuric acid. 10 KBr + 2 KMnO4 + 8 H2SO4 = 5 Br2 + 2 MnSO4 + 6 K2SO4 + 8 H2O

Thank you very much, I thought that manganese heptoxide is formed because the water present is still a very concentrated solution of sulfuric acid that might dehydrate the parmanganic acid but it turns out I was wrong

14:41 I must’ve been living under a rock (or under a deserted stone bridge in some forgotten hinterland) because I want/need to know more about the glass ampule. I’ve seen people use those sealed glass ampules to store compounds numerous times. However, I never understood how those ampules were made. I thought about it, but for some reason missed using the lowly test tube to make the storage vessel. I had assumed the ampules were make from sections of glass tubing (which, I suppose, is also doable). Excellent video! Bromine frightens me. I can’t wait to never try this bromine production method myself. 😂

I know its a lot of bromine but in retrospective do you think that 4.7 molar equivalents could make enough cubane to be even visable with all the purifycations and probably fails?

If there's a lot of water, it shouldn't go to manganese heptoxide at all, permanganic acid is already an oxidizer itself, it is get reduced either to Mn2+ (manganese sulfate in this case) or Mn4+ (black insoluble manganese dioxide). You could use diluted h2so4, it works too, and don't overheat the solution while dissociating like concentrated. The reaction itself is exothermic and more heat == slower addition should be or more escaped water will be. More water in bromine == more conc. h2so4 to use to dry it. I used to collect bromine to the flask with decent amount of conc. h2so4, so that drops of bromine pass through it, dry to some extent and be unable to escape as a vapor.

I reacted potassium bromide with nitric acid in a report and distilled it into a vessel in ice. The byproduct was potassium nitrate. Passing chlorine into KBr was inefficient. I did it outdoors.

You made the Br in Breaking Bad, next is the Barium.

Hmm, he's making bromine how swee-- OH MY GOD HE'S GONNA DO THE CUBE

Where did you get all your lab equipment? I was thinking of starting my own lab

if you want cheap bromine you can only get it from sea salt, there is 2 kg per ton, and a ton of sea salt costs 60 bucks. But you would have to get all the Na and Mg from it by electrodeposition first , for which you need some industrial equipment. Not very complicated if you know how to use CNC routers and have solar panels. Otherwise you would have to order from India and pay about 6 bucks per kilogram for KBr, 98% pure. But if you leave near sea - sea salt is free if you just leave salty water evaporating on open air. You might wonder, why someone would need that much bromine? Well, it is a main ingredient of zinc-bromide flow battery which is very efficient and 20 times more lasting than lithium

This was a decent bromine video. Thank you for the explanation as to what contaminants can end up doing other methods. I can only imagine the clean up after this experiment. I do hope to see the experiment you use the bromine in! ❤

Could sodium or potassium bromide react with HCl and H2O2 to make elemental bromine?

Bromine is pretty in your collection until there’s an earthquake

I'm curious about your clean up process. Seems like a lot of hazardous stuff you need to clean up. How do you do that?

Hi! In what program are you editing your videos?

I gotta ask, were you freaking out shaking the Br2/H2SO4 mixture in the separatory funnel? It be pissing myself 😂

No manganese heptoxide is formed as long there is still water in the mixture. It's just the permanganate that oxidizes the hydrogen bromide. The method is a big mess, not very environmental friendly because of the heavy metal compounds of manganese left behind. And it's a waste of hard to get and partially banned chemicals, too. Using fresh persulfate instead is perfectly legal and a much cleaner route with an even higher yield and cleaner product. The whole process also proceeds much quicker. As a neutralizing agent a freshly prepared solution of sodium sulfite and hydroxide should be used to avoid the mess with precipitated sulfur. It's advisible not to store more than 10 ml of bromine (dried and sealed in ampoules) at home to avoide horrifying accidents. And even small amounts shouldn't be stored in rooms where you live, sleep or eat. Bromine should only be used in a fumehood or outside wearng a gas mask additionally and thick chemical protection gloves because it eats through thin nitrile gloves and skin within seconds. Breathing in even small amounts of bromine vapor can already cause deadly pulmonary oedema. Definitely no substance for beginners...
