Even just acid and water can create enough heat to boil the water, causing splashing to occur. This is why you should always put water in first before adding the acid.
Just a safety tip for those who don't know, always add acid to water never water to acid. It allows you to control the rate at which the acid reacts to whatever you're dissolving so you can avoid violent reactions like in this video.
I watched a documentary about a train derailing in a residential area that was carrying some form of acid. When the acid reached the air, it let off noxious, burning fumes. Due to the vaporized acid that has permeated this small country neighborhood, an elderly man and woman experienced severe difficulty breathing and temporary vision loss. The (rude) 911 operator told them to get in the shower to wash off the contaminant. The husband had his wife get in the shower first because she was his wife, plus she was worse off than he was. He said, "The moment she got in the shower and I turned the water on, her skin, eyes, hair and scalp...everything started burning. She was screaming...". A scientist on the scene later said the dispatcher was absolutely wrong for giving them that advice and should have left it to the proper officials to delegate decontamination. He said that the moment the water mixed with the vaporized acid, it became lethal. The noxious fumes were choking them, yes. But the acid didn't act like acid until it combined with water from the shower. Those poor people. I will never forget that episode. I'm keeping it at the back of my mind to NEVER mix acid and water.
Copper reacts with 50% dilute HNO3: 3Cu + 8 HNO3 ----> 3Cu(NO3)2 + 2NO + 4H2O The brown gas formed is due to oxidation of NO to NO2 which is a brown gas 😅 basic chemistry ⚗️
That’s also because most high conc acids react with water and produce heat, this means that adding water to acid vaporises/boils he water near instantly splashing acid around and not really diluting it. By adding acid to water, the heat gets spread through the water and doesn’t boil allowing for a safe dilution. With already diluted acids this does not matter as much, but still good practice

To add, it's surprisingly working well for them, because, you know, swamp. The warrior in copper armour was battling a swamp black dragonling in a plains, not a swamp. So, while he got spitted, nothing actually happened. Which was why he went and said all that (arrogantly), after felling the dragonling. But then rain happened. That's the whole story
If I remember correctly the reason why copper can be dissolved in HNO3 is that the acid oxidizes the cupper metal forming the easily soluble Cu(NO3)2 as well as Nitrusoxide and water.
It's because NO3- is a stronger oxidising agent that H+. Hydrochloric acid can't react with copper because H+ isn't a strong enough oxidising agent. Nitric acid can react with copper because NO3- is a very strong oxidising agent.
Nitric acid contains both acid (H+) and oxidizer (NO3). At concentrated solutions, CuO (since NO3 is a strong oxidizer) is formed instantly preventing any reactions to occur. But with water, it gives NO3 more room to attack the exposed Cu metal. The bonus is the forceful introduction of water which somewhat strips off some of CuO protective layer.
Nile: “To get the reaction going, I’m going to add some water to dissolve the protective layer and let the acid attack…” Me: AND ALSO CREATE A GAS STORM THAT COULD PROBABLY TAKE OUT A WHOLE CONTRY IN 1 2 3
Thats the same mechanism that allows "aqua regia" to dissolve gold. Nitric acid removes through oxidation cations of gold III from the mass of gold but a thin layer of saturated solution above the surface would prevent the acid from removing more. Hydrochloric acid reacts with the gold cations producing tetrachloraurate anions, thus removing the gold cations from the solution and alowing the nitric acid to remove more gold cations from the mass of gold.

Fun fact! Nitric Acid is sometimes used in an art technique called Intaglio. You use the acid to burn your design onto a copper plate, which can then be wiped with ink and printed onto paper.
NO, here the case is different, here the protective copper nitrate is dissolved and when water is just added to acids it causes heat generation due to the change in enthalpy of the solution before and after the mixing
@@nbhunia1 exactly. I also experimented Cu- HNO3 reaction in the past. 👨🔬👩🔬👇 ruclips.net/video/1eBWJBtyBsw/видео.html Ya, It's a very interesting chemical reactions to experiment.
To be clear: The violence in the reaction is not because of the copper, but also because of dilution of the acid. Most acids react vigorously with water upon dilution.
The acid literally doesn't react with water though.. the water just removes the oxide on the copper so the acid can get to more fresh copper, did you even listen to the explanation?
@@stratussol2475 the dilution reaction of an acid is very violent. That's why it is never recommended to add water to a large amount of acid, but instead do the other way around. If Nigel chose to just add copper to already dilute nitric acid, the reaction won't be that violent. I do realise that Nitric acid does react violently with copper, but acids also react with water fyi.
@@PerpendicularFlight5 water and nitric acid is not a violent reaction in itself. watch a video of water being added to high concentration nitric acid, you can see nothing violent occurs. ruclips.net/video/RS_TrEbaizg/видео.htmlsi=jBHsBewhHtfYcCb7
An alternative explanation to why copper does not react on the addition of fuming nitric acid is that such occurrence did not result from passivation but rather the difference in reactivity between molecular HNO3 and its ionic form in solution in water. The simple molecular HNO3 barely reacts at all with Cu. On addition of water the ions form, and HNO3 behaves like a "real" acid.
I work in a facility that used to drill holes with nitric acid. Normally you use brass or copper as an electrode when drilling but for the acid we had glass tubes. Now I know why.
That's how artists make etchings in copper plates :) they cover a copper plate with a mixture of wax and bitumen, which is acid resistant, then scratch the image into that layer which exposes the copper, then put the copper plate into a nitric acid bath to etch the image. It works with steel as well. Copper plates print white, while steel plates always have a tint to them

It's also due to the fact that not all the H+ ions can dissociate when it's pure. When it's is dissolved it can become more acidic for most acids

Ya, It's a very interesting chemical reactions to experiment.
To be clear: The violence in the reaction is not because of the copper, but also because of dilution of the acid. Most acids react vigorously with water upon dilution.
The acid literally doesn't react with water though.. the water just removes the oxide on the copper so the acid can get to more fresh copper, did you even listen to the explanation?
@@stratussol2475 the dilution reaction of an acid is very violent. That's why it is never recommended to add water to a large amount of acid, but instead do the other way around.
If Nigel chose to just add copper to already dilute nitric acid, the reaction won't be that violent.
I do realise that Nitric acid does react violently with copper, but acids also react with water fyi.
@@stratussol2475The acid loses its hydrogen molecules in water. These new H+ ions give acids their properties
@@PerpendicularFlight5 water and nitric acid is not a violent reaction in itself. watch a video of water being added to high concentration nitric acid, you can see nothing violent occurs.

I’m remembering being told to always pour acid into water, not water into acid.
I love how u are so casual yet interesting
An alternative explanation to why copper does not react on the addition of fuming nitric acid is that such occurrence did not result from passivation but rather the difference in reactivity between molecular HNO3 and its ionic form in solution in water. The simple molecular HNO3 barely reacts at all with Cu. On addition of water the ions form, and HNO3 behaves like a "real" acid.
Water be like:
HOLD MY BEER!
wow i've never been this early
My heart stopped beating for a second or two when I saw him pouring water into acid instead of the reverse.
This definitely takes full advantage of the available color spectrum . 😳
I work in a facility that used to drill holes with nitric acid. Normally you use brass or copper as an electrode when drilling but for the acid we had glass tubes. Now I know why.
So does this mean that the statues in Dr. Stone are actually made of copper?!¡
That's how artists make etchings in copper plates :) they cover a copper plate with a mixture of wax and bitumen, which is acid resistant, then scratch the image into that layer which exposes the copper, then put the copper plate into a nitric acid bath to etch the image. It works with steel as well. Copper plates print white, while steel plates always have a tint to them
Another excellent dissolver of copper is ferric chloride. It is used to etch copper-clad PC boards.
This reminds me of Mr. Bean doing some chemistry 💀
I like the colours it's making during the reaction. 😍
This demonstration also shows why they teach "Always add acid to water, not water to acid" in chemistry classes.
Such a fuming reaction!
The neighbors:
*It’s the guy again,making poisonous air.💀😭*
That ending color was such a nice blue. Also wild to think such a small amount of water can make such a big difference.
Now I know why pure acid is worse than dilute thank you Nile 😊
Bro that thing did the most cartoony “so hot it’s shaking” movement 💀
The nitric acid is the chemical that laid the foundation for household chemicals you find at the supermarket or pharmacy such as Tarn-X and Brasso.
