I'm not familiar with amateur chemistry, but prussian blue is one of the few channels I follow because he kinda reminds me of old-school chemistry youtube vids back when everything was super reckless and carefree. I think at the end of the day he just has a different design philosophy in his vids where everything is much looser. He jokes a lot, and many of the measurements and procedures are very "on-the-fly" or ad-hoc which would make his stuff a lot tougher to replicate. My thing is much more formal, procedural, and to the point with more emphasis on repeatability and visual clarity than being "fun" lol. That said, I definitely think there is a place for both, and I think his content is better suited to getting people interested in chemistry while mine might be better for people who already know chemistry and might want to build upon and improve things I've done. Definitely something I've thought about (not necessarily about his channel in particular but more broadly).

Wow!!! Keep up the amazing content! Love it😃

Wow....5 years as an amateur Pyrotechnician and never thought that Barium bromate and sulfur can make such a nice blast of fire! Only knew about other Formulas of Barium....even it wasn't as fast as the one in the video even with literally Aluminum powder! Wonderful video :)

Thank you so much! Glad my vids can even be occasionally informative to people like you who specialize in a specific field of chemistry. Generally in my experience chlorates are VERY aggressive compared to other pyrotechnic mixtures, which (I believe) is why they aren't more widely used in making pyrotechnics.. Something this extremely reactive would get very dangerous very fast at larger scale.

​@@integral_chemistry You're welcome! You're putting effort and time making such videos. Indeed it will be beneficial for anyone that value knowledge. Keep going mate! 😁

Definately more pyrotechnic and visual stuff in general! Great video!

The sparkler video wold be very interesting. Please do it :)

awesome, i definitely want to see more, cool shots nice info smooth and very professional

Thank you so much! I feel adding the black backdrop in some shots makes it all feel a lot more professional somehow.. no idea why that took me so long to figure out.

Be very careful, sulfur and chlorate (maby bromate too?) are known to be shock sensitive. When struck with a hammer S+KClO3 explodes violently. But nice Video!

*maybe

PSA: Never recreate those displays with chlorates, they are unstable in mixtures with sulfur and I wouldnt feel comfortable storing those sulfur/bromate mixtures either!

Thats a beautiful green and a really good fast burn 👍👍

For anyone repeating this, just be careful using bromates or chlorates with sulfur. Such mixtures can be impact and/or friction sensitive.

Would love to see the KClO3 recrystallized to get the fine powder bc the flame was beautiful

Hm yeah I'll give that a shot. TBH it should be a similar process to the caesium salt since potassium and caesium have very similar solubility properties.

In my experience, dissolving the chlorate in hot water and then crashing it out with ice cold IPA works quite well

Your yield of barium bromate seemed higher because unlike the CsBrO3 it forms as a monohydrate. Very pretty regardless, nicely done!

Huh, thanks for letting me know! I somewhat had that suspicion but I didn't mention it because I've noticed I get much more flak in the comments from incorrect speculative comments than I get for just not saying anything at all.. It is weird in general how hard it was to find any literature at all on Barium bromate. In any case thank you! Glad you liked the vid

Really interested to learn ahout the low solubility of cesium bormate! That one was surprising since its an alkali

@integral_chemistry

Right? Cesium is very interesting, and I wish it was more affordable (cesium chloride costs about $2 per gram). Generally it has many of the same properties as potassium salts but to a more extreme degree. For example, soluble potassium salts like KCl are EXTREMELY soluble as cesium salts, but less soluble potassium salts like permanganate, dichromate, chlorate, etc. are very insoluble as their cesium derivatives. Again, if this stuff was more affordable I'd use it constantly for selective precipitations.

4.20 grams caesium chloride on 4/20. Coincidence? I think not. Edit: They also produce a green color!

Could you try to make a composition with copper bromate and sulfur to make blue? Also with periodates? Thaks for your content

Sparklers would be cool

out of date boating flares + manual copper tube cutter to cut off the pull igniter head go slow twist add more pressure to the blade twist repeat till tube is cut then u bend to snap the compound.

4:35 Can you synthesize tetraammine copper chlorate or bromate? I think these salts can be used to create blue flames

I enjoyed the video. Thank you... What about preparing lead styphnate or basic lead picrate in the next video?

@integral_chemistry

2 ай бұрын

No problem! I was actually considering making lead Nitranilate soon. Its far more energetic than the picrate or styphnate salt, and there is virtually no literature (or videos) on it anywhere to my knowledge.

its fun!

6:28 What's more intense - potassium or caesium? And what about lithium

Is this as hard to make as it sounds? Our Own Devices has a video on the night vision "Metascope" which has this phosphor compound as its detection element. Standard VII Two hundred and eighty grams of strontium sulfide, 28 grams of chemically pure magnesia (ignited in air at 1050 C), 13.4 grams of activated lithium fluoride, and 28.5 grams of strontium sulfate are screened through 150-mesh silk, mixed in a mortar and milled for an hour and a half. The powder mixture is placed in covered platinum boats of 80 to 85 grams capacity and fired in pure nitrogen at 1050 C for 30 minutes; cooling is also accomplished in the nitrogen atmos¬ phere. The product, after inspection for abnormalities, is ground in a porcelain mortar to about 16 mesh and then milled for 2 hours. After screening through a 300-mesh silk, the powder is bottled and stored in a desiccator. A thin coating of Standard VII powder is applied to a graphite button (grade C-15, National Carbon Company) of the proper radius of curvature, by first suspending the phosphor powder in a solution of methyl methacrylate in ethylene chloride and then paint-spraying the suspension onto the graphite but¬ tons. After drying, the buttons are fired in an airfree nitrogen atmosphere; they are placed on steel trays and inserted into a quartz muffle, heated to 860 C and kept at this temperature for 20 minutes. They are cooled under nitrogen and then inspected for faults.

"But officer! I'm a chemist! I'm conducting research into electron transfer in red-ox reactions!"

A u heard something about pyrotechnical glitters?

I imagine most of the byproducts and gases and extracted? (Fumehoid)

Display pyrotechnics can't be used close to people? Try telling Rammstein about that 😂

fair point but yeah generally speaking these type of oxidizers only seem to oxidize well in a dry solid-state mixture. Liquid oxidizers like fuming nitric acid on the other hand is a very different story lol

You could mix KClO3 with CuCO3 and some organic fuel like hexamine for blue fire. For green KClO3, barium nitrate and magnesium powder. For red strontium nitrate + mg powder (no chlorine to boost the color but it should be good enough)

Love this! Also, just left a DM on Instagram 😉

Thank you! I'll go check it out (I always forget instagram exists). BTW I FINALLY started getting back into pigments like I promised months ago. I've scaled up, bought a proper paint grinder, and I'm currently working on cerium sulfide red, antimony titanite yellow, chrome green, bismuth vanadate yellow, and cobalt yellow... and I'm just now noticing how many yellows there are

Why do you tempt us?
