    Kind of interesting I think that you can tell how long the reaction takes from the high speed video by counting how many times the light flickers during the reaction. The AC cycle is 1/50 second, it flickers twice per cycle, so each flicker is 1/100 second. It flickers about 20 times during the reaction, so it takes about 1/5 of a second.

    Hey Brady! Here's a BASIC chemistry question that I'd love to see it addressed in a video. To what degree a chemist can predict (on paper) what would happen in chemical reactions? Are there specific properties of the atoms/molecules that, when combined with others, make the mix explode, gain volume, evaporate, dissolve one element, and so on?

    @12tman12 11 лет назад

    As far as I understand it, that's what this reaction already does. It converts the I back and forth between two reactions using bisulfite. No entropy laws are broken because the "external" energy source that allows the reaction to go both ways (which they normally can't) is your bisulfite, which is consumed in the process.

  • @kathrayres

    We did a similar sort of reaction in my AP chemistry class- we were measuring vitamin C concentrations in different juices and used an iodide-iodine-iodate combination to remove the vitamin C from the juice, turning the solution black/blue. VERY cool effect, and even better in slow motion!

    The reason the light flickers is because the lights were plugged into the main power grid, which transmits power in alternating current. This means that the power rapidly switches many times per second. Normally this is so fast that your eye doesn't notice the flickering of the lights, but use a high speed camera and you are actually seeing the power go off and on

    It's been a while since high-school but I can't recall that I remember the stripes in the liquid before it changes the color. In the first reaction on normal speed you clearly see the stripes. I guess it's due to camera recording it. The slo-mo clearly shows the reaction is exponential.

    Whatever camera you use, when doing high speed shots it's best to light what you're filming well because of how little time the shutter is open for each frame. I have used a Phantom Flex a few times, when we do; we use massive reflectors and high power lights.

They are planning on filming some in the US relatively soon when Dan goes for a visit.

  • @alexvillanigale
    @alexvillanigale 11 лет назад

    I love this reaction. I performed a version of this as a lab for PChem. I agree with the Professor that the concentrations of the various reagents would be different depending on how you added them together in the beaker. Perhaps to test this hypothesis you might try mixing the solution with a stir bar while adding in the reagents and continue stirring the solution after the reagents have been added. With proper mixing, the whole solution should be able to turn blue all at once.
