Bromine vs aluminum is insane!

    A while ago, I made all of this scary bromine in my parent's garage, and now I've decided that I want to throw some aluminum into it. This is one of my favorite reactions, and the last time that I did it, was probably over 6 years ago.
    WARNING: Bromine is very toxic and corrosive, and is extremely dangerous if handled improperly.

    The equation for the principal reaction is
    2 Al(s ) + 3 Br2(l ) --> 2 AlBr3(s )
    Some of the aluminum bromide is produced as fumes, causing the white smoke seen in the video. In addition, aluminum bromide reacts violently with water to produce HBr and aluminum hydroxide or oxide.

      @@inky_mesa It's the same colour as the fumes from classic Russian hypergolic rocket motors, yes. Those usually burn some sort of hydrazine alongside a powerful oxidiser like nitrogen tetroxide or red fuming nitric acid. They leave distinctive and ominous orange clouds. Hypergolic fuels spontaneously burn on contact with each other and, while substantially less powerful and efficient than other fuels, makes up for this by being storable over long periods ready to be used and having greatly simplified engine designs, reducing cost and decreasing risk.
      Fuels like kerosene and hydrogen, burned under liquid oxygen, are much more powerful, but they need large, insulated tanks to stop the cryogenic hydrogen or oxygen from boiling off and complicated engine designs that can ignite the fuel and oxidiser flows and manage that combustion continously.

      Anyone can garner Glory via a few spoken words with faith, asking the Lord Jesus to be saved.
      To either spend forever in the worst place in the universe, or the best place. Ez choice.

      @@tomj4406 I don't believe hell to be a place.
      But certainly it's absurd that someone would choose it for oneself.

    Insane reaction. Am I right in saying chlorine reacts the same way? Probably not such a violent display perhaps. Either way, I now know how to carefully open a test tube. Thanks Nile, crazy but very interesting as ever.

    If every channel had videos like this, even tutorial videos cut and just straight forward, youtube would be 100× better.

    Can you do a video on marketing hand sanitizer from spray paint? Most spray paints use alcohol as a propellant, so it should be possible if you extract the alcohol from it
