This is the clearest description of what an acid is I have ever come across. No science class I have ever taken came anywhere close to this

my dad and I used/ use muriatic acid a lot. he used to get rocks from secret places and bring them home. we would put them in muriatic acid over night and when we took the rocks out of the acid it would leave just the crystals, minerals, or layers. it's really like finding treasure he promised to take me to one of the rock sights but recently he got in a motorcycle wreck and has a broken shoulder blade, so I'll have to wait a month or 2 til he's healed.

Fluoroantimonic acid was used to dissolve gold and when the weakest base -xenon gas- was bubbled through it, precipitated gold xenide antimony fluoride, a compound with a remarkable bond between a noble metal and an inert gas.

I'd love a video on how long these reactions (both acid/base) could potentially continue before rendering itself inert. Or if that even ever happens.

I dampened some toilet paper in some wart-removal stuff, that contained high consentrations of formic acid, and put it on the top of my hand for about one-two minutes. The top of my skin was like a second degree burn, but about 3mm deeper my skin started rotting. Due to this, i concluded that i'd never do something like this again. Then.. along came this video

So now you know kids, the acid that flows in the veins of the xenomorphs is fluoroantimonnic acid.

No, it is a silicon base acid (see movie).

I wish you would have showed a demonstration of how powerful this acid is. I imagine it must be amazing.

Actually, Helium Hydride Ion (HeH+) is the strongest acid in the world. Fluoroantimonic acid has a pKa of around -31.3 compared to a pKa of -5.9 for Hydrochloric acid. Since pKa is a log scale (base 10), this makes Fluoroantimonic acid more than 2.5*10^25 times more acidic than HCl. On the other hand, HeH+has a ridiculous equivalent free energy change of dissociation -360 kJ/mol based on Hess' law, which translates to a pKa of -63. This mean HeH+ is more than 5*10^31 time acidic than fluoroantimonic acid and more than 1.25*10^57 times more acidic than HCl. That's more than 1.25 billion trillion trillion trillion trillion times more powerful than HCl (a very strong acid) and more than 5 million trillion trillion times more powerful than what you all claimed was the strongest acid in the world. It will ionise absolutely anything and destroy even Teflon. It was first isolated in a lab almost 100 years ago in 1925 and it's believed to be the first compound formed in the universe after the big bang. Also, check our Ortho-Diethynylbenzene Dianion, which is ridiculously a much stronger base than HeH+ is a strong acid.

Not very. if you had a cup's volume of it, it would at most make a hole the same volume. I'm just making ballpark estimates, but the amount of corrosion would be due to the number of hydrogen atoms as mentioned in the video. Therefore the acid can't dissolve more bonds than there are number of available hydrogens.

Yep, that Teflon. It's the trade name for polytetrafluoroethylene, or PTFE. The reason it's so good at being non-stick is because of the carbon-fluorine bonds. The flourine on the surface is so strongly bonded to the carbon that its electrons aren't available for any other interactions, including the weak interactions that cause friction. And those strong bonds also make it not react with superacids.

I just had to lie there for a couple of minutes and just admire science. My mind was blown.

As a chemistry student, 0:50 to 1:10 gave me chills. That a supposedly scientific channel gets the pH scale wrong is embarrassing to say the least (That is highschool education, mind you) and really undermines this channel's credibility. Just to clear things up. The pH is defined as -lg(Hydrogen ion activity in mol/l). This means that at a pH of 0, you have a Hydrogen ion activity of 1 mol/l, at a pH of 1 you have 0.1 mol/l, at pH 2 you have 0.01 mol/l and so forth. 1 mol/l means there is a certain number (Avogadro's number) of H+ ions in 1 l of solution. THAT IS NOT EQUAL to 1 hydrogen ion for every molecule in solution, not in the slightest. Not even going to start about all the other bullshit they did here...

In an aqueous solution (which pH is primarily defined for), H+ ions react with water to form H3O+ ions (Hydronium ions), so yes, that is mostly correct. I usually stick to writing H+ simply because it's shorter. The term activity can be read as "active concentration". In highly concentrated solutions, interactions with other ions cause some of the ions in solution to "stick together", thus decreasing their chemical potential. That is accounted for by adding an activity coefficient (factor) to the real concentration, activity is then written as a(H+)=f*[H+].

@Isolanporzellator

7 жыл бұрын

As for some other mistakes (H+ ions are protons): A tenfold increase in the number of protons does not correspond to a tenfold increase in reactivity. Reactivity is also a really bad term to use here as it is a very ambiguous concept. The pH scale also works below 0 if you have active proton concentrations above 1 mol/l. The maximum proton concentration that can be achieved in aqueous solution is (theoretically) 55,56 mol/l, which corresponds to one proton per water molecule and a pH of -1.74 (Although this assumes that your acid has no volume). Pure water has a concentration of 55,56 mol/l, because 1 kg of water contains 55,56 mol water (18 g/mol). Sulfuric acid doesn't react with pretty much anything it touches. Many inorganic compounds and plenty of organic ones don't react with sulfuric acid. Take glass as an example. Or saturated linear hydrocarbons for an organic example. While they clearly tried, they didn't actually explain why HF-based superacids are that strong. The reason is the unusually high stability of the remaining anion after donating a proton. In the case of fluoroantimonic acid, two HF and one SbF5 combine to form H2FSbF6, which contains the SbF6- anion and an H2F+ cation. Because both SbF6- and HF are quite stable even without an extra proton, so the bond to said proton is very weak, which makes it very easy to donate to another molecule. Superacids are basically the closest we've gotten in creating a solution of "free protons". I'd also like to add that a "million billion trillion" is a terrible way to count. It's 10^27. To sum it up, the video is filled with tiny mistakes and inaccuracies. The facts that are presented are very vague and don't actually explain why superacids work (or did you understand it? Idk, maybe it's just me).

These kinds of Scishow episodes are my absolute favorite.

Erm no. pH is the -log of the molar concentration of H3O+ ions. So a pH of 1 is not as strong as it can get. IE that would be only 6.022x10E22 H3O+ in a litre of solution. 1 Liter of water has for example 50 moles of water in it (rounding down), so a pH of 0 is possible and a pH of -1 is also possible.

It's not technically the reason why Antimony Pentafluoride won't dissolve Teflon, it's just that Fluor hates having it's electrons stolen, so Fluor being the greedy bastard won't share their electrons at all. Unless He2+ somehow is in the picture, there is nothing in the universe that wants Electrons more. Good luck containing He2+ ions though. Nothing can contain it, without turning it into He and ionizing whatever container you put it in.

Alex Blood It's what some have guessed, or assumed. If you actually look at how quick alien acid melts through metal, it'd be safe to assume fluoroantimonic acid would be melting through even faster.

now heres a question, their blood isn't 100% pure acid, its blood, assumably they breath oxygen and need energy, so its carrying nutrients and oxygen, so are their hemoglobin coated in teflon too?!

@extremeencounter7458

Alex Blood I would assume their bodies may contain a substance maybe not even relating to Teflon, maybe somehow their bodies have been assembled in different unknown ways. But assuming their acid isn't too close to the levels of fluoroantimonic acid, Teflon might not be needed.

In school you tend to learn about acids and bases together. I am surprised that this didn't make it into the chemistry playlist when the video on strong bases did.

Thank you

Do these acids react with air? Do you store them in Teflon vacuum bottles?

Possibly. While I'm not aware of these acids, sodium hydroxide at certain solutions does. ( CO² + 2 Na OH = Na² CO³ + H²O )

Polar Bearon they typically aren't stored at all because they're so reactive and most likely unstable. It's far easier for reagents like these to be generated in the reaction flask that also contains the other reactants. Both are then immediately consumed by the main reaction so there is little acid actually in existence at any moment.

+TheBillymybob yes. carbonate. soda is Na²CO³. limestone, as well as shells & coral, consist mainly of CaCO³ . It's basically why water can corrode through pipes: as the carbon dioxide from the air disolves into carbonic acid (H²O + CO³ = H²CO³)

v good info. thankue.🙏🙏🙏.

Now I want a full video on the types of Teflon, and how it's turned into pans (or, in this case, superacid beakers).

Superacids are not disproportionally dangerous as you make them sound. Beyond a certain level any acid will just burn you and it doesn't matter if A is 100 000x stronger than B. What matters more is toxicity. A normal acid will simply cause you a burn and the affected tissue is directly proportional to the amount of acid. On the other hand Hydrofluoric acid (HF) or prussic acid (HCN; a very weak acid) tend to attack specific parts in your cells causing disproportionate damage. Thus a substance, that is LESS reactive, but more selective to a vital part of your body is far more dangerous!

I was under the impression that Sulphuric acid was the most dangerous because it is not just corrosive but also highly toxic?

@edi9892

Gordon Lawrence Not really. AFAIK it wouldn't make much difference if you swallowed hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid. Both can kill you. The biggest difference is that sulfuric acid is oxidising. Unlike hydrochloric acid it can react, changing permanently to non-acidic compounds. This adds another burning effect, allowing it to dissolve or char most organic matter. Whereas HCl would dissolve meat to the bone leaving a rubbery bone behind, H2SO4 would probably dissolve it all (but much slower than you see in most movies). There are some variations of sulfuric acid that are far more dangerous: SO3: a gas that reacts with water to H2SO4 Cl2SO2: does the same but produces to molecules of HCl too. Both compounds can penetrate deeper into the body before they start damaging you. Getting H2SO4 on your hand is like holding it into fire, but these would attack your eyes, nose and lungs and cause burns in deeper layers of your tissue. Probably the worst variant of it: CH3OSO2OCH3: could in principle hydrolyse into H2SO4 and two molecules of methanol (an alcohol that makes you blind) but the main issue is not the resulting acid, but its ability to methylate other compounds such as proteins and DNA (latter causing cancer). Methylation is adding CH3 groups to amines or alcohols. Other dangerous acids: HCN; HF, H2S: are weak but penetrate deep and cause damage to specific areas, thus highly toxic (and due to their size very volatile) HNO3: very acidic, oxidising and able to nitrate things (add NO2 groups). It reacts to toxic nitrogen oxides (gas) HClO4: very acidic, highly reactive; explosive Personally, I've been exposed to KOH, NaOH, NH4OH, HCl, H2SO4 and HNO3. H2SO4 hurt the most and left a small scar on me. Of the others I feared the lyes most, since they tend to cause deeper tissue damage and are the most likely source of blindness. Above all other things I feared some solvent like reagents most. There are volatile compounds,t hat straight up ignore gloves and absorb quickly through your skin, causing inflammation and possibly cancer. The most common examples are alkylating reagents and acrylates (typical monomers for plastics). PS: a chemistry lab in university is a high risk environment, where too many people work on too little space and work even when they are half-asleep. We got plenty of security regulations which are simply ignored by us, since otherwise we wouldn't finish in time or since we lack the means to enforce them. Some of my colleagues were badly injured. Some were hospitalised after the Phosgene incident (an important industrial reagent, that was used as a chemical weapon in the trenches of Verdun!). We had people getting dragged out of the building by meidcs in hazmat suits and the others just asked, when they can return to their work or straight up refused to abandon their work (since they could loose a months work). I felt like a soldier. Working at high risks, without proper payment or any thanks until I collapse due to exhaustion. Most of us became mentally ill, due to burn out or depression.

but what are strongest alkalis?

First off the acid Jesse and Walter used to get rid of the body, hydrofluoric acid; isn't strong enough to melt bones or even skin. What its good for is killing people. one drop of that on your skin and it will enter your circulatory system, killing you in minutes. The cartels in mexico actually use a very strong base to get rid of bodies. Consisting of saltwater and electrolysis with iron electrodes to make lye. But that's just an "off the books" way to do it.

We have a book for science classes and on one of the pages in the chemistry section it shows the strongest acids, and also the weakest acids, and also everything in between.

jason dads as long as there are no scratches or manufacturer defects. They are very thinly coated with Teflon and scratch easily.

at 2:48 is what got me going. Fluorine will not just react with anything else and if you really want HF to be reactive you have to use a catalyst like TaF5 (Tantalum V Fluoride) to allow an alkylation reaction.

Anybody just immediately think of fluorantimonic acid

nice video!

Alchemists used to try making something called alkahest. Alkahest is a substance which is capable of dissolving literally anything. This would allow an alchemist to separate substances into more basic parts and mix things in solution which would otherwise be impossible to put together in a homogeneous mixture. Being able to quickly and easily separate and mix any substances would hopefully lead to new medicines being discovered. Even if Teflon is impossible to dissolve in super acids, they are still a pretty big step up from the contaminated acids, bases, and alcohol alchemists depended on for their chemical research. Chemists may not see any use for such corrosive acids, but alchemists would have loved putting things which they believed couldn't be dissolved by other acids into them and taking notes on the results. It would probably turn out better then Phillipus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim's laudanum did.

Seriously, just use the correct number when describing things. Saying "a million billion trillion" means nothing. When you mean you have ten thousand of something, do you say you have a hundred hundred of it? If you had a million, would you say you had a hundred hundred hundred? No, because that just sounds stupid and meaningless. It's an octillion, or 10^27 times stronger than concentrated hydrochloric acid. There you go.

+Chris Faulkner no... just no... 1 quadrillion is 1 thousand trillion. a million billion trillion is 1 million * 1 billion * 1 trillion. That's 1,000,000 * 1,000,000,000 * 1,000,000,000,000 = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, which is 1 octillion, one quadrillion is just 1,000,000,000,000,000 As for why they use million billion trillion instead of just octillion, is that most people know how larger millions billions and trillions are, but you'd be surprised how few people actually know the names of the measurements past those, describing something as 1 billion trillions is easier for most people to understand the actual size of that number easier than saying 1 sextillion for example, sure people will understand it's large, but when you make it out of multiples of smaller numbers, it's easier for people to feel the actual sense of scale.

For those talking about whether is octillion or quadrillion, it depends on what scale you're using, is it the short or long scale system? Without context of where you live, both are kind of correct, but since most English-speaking countries use the short scale, I would go with octillion as the best fit. ref: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_and_short_scales
