      It makes sense if you think about it though, chlorine is just another oxidizing agent.

      There's lots of oxygen in acetylene. Ignorance.

      and it is now used to turn the hundreds if not thousands of freebase medications we have in the pharmaceutical industry into their salt from to make them more water soluble and to absorb better in your stomach or kick in faster. If you are the crazy type adding HCl to your drug can make you snort it or even inject it.

      hcl is made industrially by reacting sulfuric acid and sodium chloride, but this also generates some

    • @EdwardTriesToScience
      @EdwardTriesToScience 2 года назад

      Nah, in a lab the cheapest and easiest ways are dripping conc sulfuric acid into hydrochloric acid (basically just HCl dissolved in water) or dripping conc sulfuric onto salt, no lab would go out of their way to get a big ole glass carboy of chlorine and pump in acetylene carefully

    could a UV lazer be used as safe ignition source as the hydrogen enters the chlorine laden tank for a more practical synthesis of hcl?

      The reaction is with the acetylene that's why there's soot formation. This class is bs.

      @@suprememasteroftheuniverse he uses the acetylene to get the reaction going initially (you can see both the blue hydrogen and yellow orange acetylene flame for a second or so) but then the acetylene is shut off leaving only the hydrogen flame. I am curious if he shut the hydrogen off when the blue flame went out or if it has difficulty sustaining itself particularly with reaction products 'snowing' out around it. The acetylene is far more reactive with chlorine, and even a small amount which leaks through at the end seems to be enough to ignite once the hydrogen flame is extinguished.

      Because the hydrogen wasn't mixed with the chlorine. He was pumping hydrogen in and it reacted with the chlorine on contact. No rapid expansion of gases in the entire container.

      FortNikita............Anything is possible. But chlorine is a very corrosive and easily turned into free radicals from any blue light or stronger. So if there is any sun near by all the chlorine i THINK would react forming free radicals which are VERY reactive so i do not see the chlorine lasting as gas
