This is a physical process called Molten Fuel Coolant Interaction (MFCI or FCI). It is the same process that occurs with magma and water during explosive phreatomagmatic eruptions. Your example is correct, a vapour film is formed around the fuel and this expands so fast like a wave and generates the explosion. Thanks for the video! I will use it for my volcanology lectures!
+Mikael Johansson Remember kids, if you want a save experiment: Pour some hot chemical into water, which you fully expect ot explode, inside a glass contain (but not safety glass, because that would be stupid), and protect yourself from potential shrapnel and hot sprewing liquids with gloves and a facemask. Your forearms? Those aren´t designated hitboxes and therefore don´t need to be protected seperately, you can leave them free. Because that´s how it works in real life.
To folks thinking this was a steam explosion: Notice how the other salts simply formed a steam bubble around itself through the Leidenfrost effect. Furthermore, putting a red hot nickel ball into water leads to the same outcome (steam blanket around the glowing red hot metal ball), with no explosion. The video also clearly shows a detonation instead of a steam explosion, where superheated water vaporizes (throughout the liquid) when the pressure drops (through failure of its containment vessel) To achieve these kind of detonations as observed in the video, you need the heated liquid stream to rapidly split itself apart into tiny fragments that can heat the surrounding water at a rate fast enough (the expansion of the liquid from this heating needs to be faster than the speed of shock wave propagation in the medium). This means that the liquid droplet needs to somehow obtain some amount of energy that can overcome its own surface tension and disperse itself into tiny droplets which further increases the interface area (a self-propagating, exponential process). The main way this is done is through charge. Supposedly, the Cl- ions can react with the supercritical H2O at the superheated water-salt interface to form HCl and Na+, OH-. The superior mobility of protons in water rapidly neutralizes the OH- at this interface, leading to the fast accumulation of Na+ in the molten salt itself. This charge buildup can eventually overcome the surface tension of the salt, leading to the droplet ripping itself apart. The act of the droplet ripping itself apart will further increase the salt-water interface. Eventually the salt-water mixture turns into steam and we see the detonation in this video. I might be wrong with some of the details but I think some form of charge accumulation in the salt overcoming surface tension should be the main cause.
It's really cool how these processes can be so minute in their detail! We think its either physical or chemical in nature but the physics and the chemistry are deeply linked, the behavior of charged particles drives the chemical interactions which provide kinetic energy and raise the temperature exponentially. It's cool how there are so many ways to create an exponential reaction that are all just a little bit different from each other, but we normally just observe as an explosion.
You're right when assuming a physical reaction. Molten Sodium-Chloride got's the right mixture of heat capacity, less surface tension and not too much heat conductivity to instantly form a cover of steam around it when divided by the first steam explosion. Instead there where formed a lot of small salt drops who where divided again instead of instantly form the protecting steam bubble around.

It's not a mystery! 1) NaCl is highly crystalline and has FCC lattice structure, whereas molten salt doesn't. 2) when poured into water, the molten NaCl quickly retains it's structure. This process releases heat suddenly. Sound is also an energy. 3) In that process the space gets compressed and hence vacuum is created. 4) The adjacent water molecules rushes to fill the gap (vacuum). However, the water molecules that comes in contact gets heated up and expand. 5) This collision between the molecules rushing to the centre and steam molecules rushing away from the centre cause the disturbance. Note: we don't notice this with other salts, as most of the salts are hydrated and are not highly crystalline like NaCl.
Try Me Crystalinity may justify in part the explosion. However solubility of NaCl is much higher than borax, so when NaCl is getting back to its crystal form(solid again) water penetrates between the particles and its heat generates water vapor that expands and explodes
1-When you drop molten sodium chloride into water unlike sodium (which is lighter than water) it sinks in (it is heavier than water). 2- The super hot ball of molten salt flash vaporizes the water. A thin vapor film separates the water and hot surface and temporarily the situation is stable. 3- The molten salt is not like liquid tin and does not have great surface tension so it makes a ball full of cracks and water gets inside some of the cracks. 4- The liquid water inside the crack flashes into the vapor and its volume suddenly expands by 1800 times. The local area around the crack inflates violently. 5- Since the rapid expansion of the outer molten salt surrounding the inflated crack is inside water and expanding faster than speed of sound in the water, it makes a supersonic shock wave. The shock wave in the water is the explosion or Big Bang. Thanks for a great question. I really had fun watching the video and other pictures of this experiment again and again.

As a serious suggestion, have you tried heating sand/gravel to the same temperature and pouring it in. If your theory of surface area is correct then you can pick your grain size and demonstrate that finer grains make more violent steam explosions.
+Scott Manley that's bull, cause sand or gravel don't go liquid at the same temperature, thus they will not be able to surround the water molecules. they will create a layer of steam on the outside of the sand/gravel and it will cool on the bottom.

Drezz that’s still dangerous given someone who admittedly didn’t know what was happening. It’d be different if he knew the science behind it all and had performed some calculations in advance to know what the blast radius would likely be, but for all he knew, it could’ve been much much much worse. He got lucky.
Can you imagine when he moves to a new house and someone else moves in and finds glass shards, metal fragments, scorch marks, and patches of color all over their backyard
Almost any backyard scientist video must include : 1. Small protection / no protection (mostly) 2. Being near the exeperiment 3. Something very dangerous 4. Some cameras 5. Slo-mo 6. Some friends (optional) 7. In the backyard / somewhere far / somewhere in his house.

I just thought I’d say this, but the title of this video gave me memories I’d forgotten from when I was very, very little, and they aren’t even related to the topic of this video.
I think the viscosity of the salt might be so low that the molten salt is almost frictionless as it goes into the water and I suppose it falls fast enought to make contact faster than the laden frost effect takes hold.
As in tip the crucible quickly to allow all its contents to exit at the same time, rather than pour it out in a slower stream as he tried the first 2 or 3 times.
As a chemist I can shed some light on the reaction. First, you are correct that this reaction isn't chemical in nature. The key differences between the substances are their solubility in water, and also their thermal conductivity. The NA-CL (Sodium Chloride) is highly soluble in water, dissolving NA-CL in water is also quite endothermic and comes with a higher osmotic pressure. This means that the NA-CL distributes through the water faster than the other substances. Once the NA-CL is distributed in the water it causes the water to boil and expand. If you watch the video again you can see the other substances in a clump with the boiling water vapor in a shell around them. They boil the water before they spread through the water. Thermal conductivity is loosely defined as the rate at which a substance can heat its surroundings. If you were to increase the thermal conductivity of the NA-CL it would also boil the water before it could spread.
+Carl Myhre You forgot that the Liedenfrost effect is reduced due to the very high solubility. The liquid form of NaCL is more readily soluble since the atoms are not trapped in a crystalline cage. Also, the solubility increases with the temperature.
Did you factor in the temp of the water. If you put something extremely hot into cold water it can cause it to go boom. Just like glass. Rapid cooling. Just like how lava hits the ocean. It has like an explosion reaction. Just a question.
Let ask Mr beasts to do this....... 50 ton molten salt drop into Olympics swimming pool..........last thing you see is half the city suddenly gone......
My guess it has something to do with the heat of formation of sodium chloride, that is that it is less than the heat of fusion or something like that, I'm going to do some research on this. Impressive video! Thanks for the camera rental tip!
Cody! I'm a huge fan of your channel!!! I subscribed to this one purely because of your comment and well, explosions are cool. keep up the videos my husband and I love them!
I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the molten salt power plants that are in use in Nevada, China and Australia. When you melt salt at about 1,100 degrees F with heat from the sun, you can turn water into steam and run turbines to create electricity. And the liquid salt continues to turn water into steam long after the sun sets. The potential is enormous. When the salt cools it returns to crystal state to be reheated. When the steam cools it returns to water. If Central Park was covered with mirrors that focused the sun's energy to the reactor, it would generate enough electricity to run the entire borough of Manhattan. Of course you could place the power plant anywhere.
Solar is extremely undertapped even as-is, let alone when we can relatively simply power our already-existing turbine-based power systems by exploiting it.
When I read "molten salt," I was both amazed and nervous. I thought you had somehow created NaK; which is the coolant in molten salt reactors. My grandfather used to tell stories from working at ORNL about it eating through 12 feet of concrete and exploding upon contact with water.
NaK is really not that hard to make. Storing/handling it is an absolute nightmare due to its crazy reactivity but sodium and potassium will combine very readily so long as they're not oxidized. You can see a pretty good example of it here. ruclips.net/video/s1Xo3GbT-DA/видео.html
+DanJBMedia I wish you were my neighbors! They are so old they don't even understand RUclips when I tried explaining it to them ...they told me they don't have that channel on TV. Only one of my neighbors is cool he comes over and helps me film sometimes he even let me borrow a crossbow for one of my recent videos! But yeah the cops get called so often they're watching my RUclips channel so I really have to be careful what I post now... :(
I worked in a foundry and the same would result when moisture is introduced in the furnace of molten metal. There is an instant vaporization of the moisture that causes a rapid expansion.
Most shops that sell tools sell welder jackets and aprons. Might be a good investment for these sorts of experiments to avoid getting burned and worse. Also, I hope your dog is safe.
+TheBackyardScientist could it be because the salt is molecularly polar and so is more attractive to the water that the other salts. I mean that's why it dissolves in the first place.
+Alan Blair I regret to inform you, the dog died of massive brain hemorrhage. His ears started bleeding just after the explosion 'cause he took his damn earcups off again.
In 1972 I worked at Elmira Heat Treat on upstate NY. They did various metals heat treatments to harden steel -My job as to dip 5 lawnmower blades in to a salt pot furnace for +20 seconds (incredibly hot-red/white melted salt) - move them to a special treated fire repressed oil bath to harden/cool them and then, after a set time to water bath for further cooling and then on to the drip-dry rack. One day I witnessed from +20 yards a co-worker grab from the wrong rack - the drip-dry rack of wet blades and when he dropped them in the pot pretty much all the melted salt instantly exploded out of the pot ...everywhere...he was lucky that he had protective gear on but there were serious burns on all exposed skin, upper arms and neck...I suspect he still has scars from it today
Stainless works because the chromium at the surface oxidises and forms a air proof / water proof layer of Chromium Oxide only a few atoms thick (also why Chrome looks so shiny as the oxide layer is so thin compared to thicker aluminium oxide which is not shiny). Heating the stainless steel destroys the Chromium oxide and then the oxygen from the air rusts the iron in the stainless. Also why welding stainless is a hassle, you have to treat the weld to restore the chromium oxide or else the stainless steel weld will just rust like untreated steel.
@@regs1917 So long as the chromium oxide layer stays intact. In welding, after mechanically cleaning the brown / blue heat tint oxides, the chromium oxide layer is restored by 1) electro-polishing - using electricity in an electrolysis reaction 2) Use HF or Citric acid treatment to dissolve the surface iron / nickel leaving the Chromium to oxidise into a protective layer. Stainless cookware would not get hot enough to damage the Chromium oxide in most kitchen settings. If your cooking meth, maybe.
+TheBackyardScientist Clearly the explosion is down to the analogue imbalance transition within the hyperbolic prokaryotic valance. This is because the expanse of the proton's derek-rods cannot breach the occluded pivot telomerase.
Noooo really? Basic science is the same as when they did this stuff 20 years ago?!!! Mind blowing! It's almost like people think these are new concepts! Fantastic!
7 kilotonne explosion ensues. Problem is how you're gonna get 20 kilotons if 1600 °C salt across the Pacific Ocean. In reality, they have 500 kilotonne (assuming they switch out the cheap lead tamper for a cheap DU tamper to double the yield and massively increase fallout for free) H bombs that could fit in the trunk of your car. They don't need thermal explosions like this.
+Caleb Pelethite At the rate he does these dangerous things wearing entirely inappropriate gear, we'll be watching a viral video of his demise or disfigurement within a year.
As soon as you poured the salt in at 2:05 I saw the tank blow up then the video stopped and gave me the "An error occurred. Please try again later" error. That tripped me the eff out lol
CorruptGamer different materials melted have different consistencies and the like so that observation was actually slightly useful in determining the consistency
perhaps it's a chemicle reaction with the chlorine along with the sodium that causes the explosion to be diffrent from the salt explosion or maybe the chlorine shields the sodium.

Sodium chloride: 350g/L dissolves in water, sodium tetraborate: 38g/L in water, Calcium Carbonate: 0g/L dissolves in water. Basically, I think that the sodium chloride is not protected by the Leidenfrost effect because it reacts with the water (in that it dissolves). The Leidenfrost effect mainly works if there's a smooth surface that does not dissolve or react with the water. Since sodium does dissolve in water, the two do come in contact and hence flash boil to cause the explosion. The other ionic compounds do not dissolve in water very well and hence do not have the same effect
Pretty close. Sodium Chloride has a high affinity for water (i.e. Dissolves as you put it). Molten salt is largely anhydrous and has lost almost all of its water of hydration AND it is hot! This affinity with a rapid heat exchange (difference in temperatures) creates a superheated space of steam in the middle as it sinks, which just wants to ..!@$^%%$#..expand away. Extending what you said, a good "boom" salt experiment should be with anhydrous Calcium chloride or Magnesium Chloride or many salts with high energies of hydration (affinity for water/solubility). (I would strongly advise against anyone trying this at home) Even this one was borderline unsafe from a personal protection issue. Flying glass can be dangerous and the hot salt can splash at an odd angle and burn you. Anhydrous salts with. high water affinity dissolve quite vigorously and produce a lot of heat, even when added as a solid at room temperature in water.
Art & Science But aren't exothermic reactions less effective when the temperature is already high? Well, actually I probably don't know what I'm talking about there so forget ti. Anyway, you're right that salt doesn't have a high heat of hydration. In fact, I believe that salt dissolving in water is actually very slightly endothermic. So this can't explain the reason for the explosion. Or perhaps you meant that it doesn't dissolve in water very well at high temperature. I don't know really, but I feel like it would rapidly cool and be able to react with the water. I really don't know though

Drezz that’s still dangerous given someone who admittedly didn’t know what was happening. It’d be different if he knew the science behind it all and had performed some calculations in advance to know what the blast radius would likely be, but for all he knew, it could’ve been much much much worse. He got lucky.

I think the viscosity of the salt might be so low that the molten salt is almost frictionless as it goes into the water and I suppose it falls fast enought to make contact faster than the laden frost effect takes hold.
imingzee
Urged
As in tip the crucible quickly to allow all its contents to exit at the same time, rather than pour it out in a slower stream as he tried the first 2 or 3 times.
As a chemist I can shed some light on the reaction. First, you are correct that this reaction isn't chemical in nature. The key differences between the substances are their solubility in water, and also their thermal conductivity. The NA-CL (Sodium Chloride) is highly soluble in water, dissolving NA-CL in water is also quite endothermic and comes with a higher osmotic pressure. This means that the NA-CL distributes through the water faster than the other substances. Once the NA-CL is distributed in the water it causes the water to boil and expand. If you watch the video again you can see the other substances in a clump with the boiling water vapor in a shell around them. They boil the water before they spread through the water. Thermal conductivity is loosely defined as the rate at which a substance can heat its surroundings. If you were to increase the thermal conductivity of the NA-CL it would also boil the water before it could spread.
+Carl Myhre Nice job for explaining it right!
+Carl Myhre I think I can understand some of the words.
+Carl Myhre mmmmmmhh yes yes, i know some of these words
+Carl Myhre You forgot that the Liedenfrost effect is reduced due to the very high solubility. The liquid form of NaCL is more readily soluble since the atoms are not trapped in a crystalline cage. Also, the solubility increases with the temperature.
so his putty analogy was correct! sweet! the pure sodium was a chemical reaction tho right?

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the molten salt power plants that are in use in Nevada, China and Australia.
When you melt salt at about 1,100 degrees F with heat from the sun, you can turn water into steam and run turbines to create electricity. And the liquid salt continues to turn water into steam long after the sun sets.
The potential is enormous. When the salt cools it returns to crystal state to be reheated. When the steam cools it returns to water. If Central Park was covered with mirrors that focused the sun's energy to the reactor, it would generate enough electricity to run the entire borough of Manhattan. Of course you could place the power plant anywhere.
Solar is extremely undertapped even as-is, let alone when we can relatively simply power our already-existing turbine-based power systems by exploiting it.
@@Starfloofle the thermal activity in Yellowstone has the potential to supply the electricity for the whole world.
@@Terryblount that's a bit of an exaggeration.

When it just splattered a little: “I was expecting an explosion”
When it exploded: “I was expecting a little bit of splattering”
Gosh, double standards these days!
When I read "molten salt," I was both amazed and nervous. I thought you had somehow created NaK; which is the coolant in molten salt reactors. My grandfather used to tell stories from working at ORNL about it eating through 12 feet of concrete and exploding upon contact with water.
NaK is really not that hard to make. Storing/handling it is an absolute nightmare due to its crazy reactivity but sodium and potassium will combine very readily so long as they're not oxidized. You can see a pretty good example of it here. ruclips.net/video/s1Xo3GbT-DA/видео.html

Only one of my neighbors is cool he comes over and helps me film sometimes he even let me borrow a crossbow for one of my recent videos! But yeah the cops get called so often they're watching my RUclips channel so I really have to be careful what I post now... :(
+TheBackyardScientist do you at least give them a heads up when you're going to make loud explosive noises?
I worked in a foundry and the same would result when moisture is introduced in the furnace of molten metal. There is an instant vaporization of the moisture that causes a rapid expansion.
Most shops that sell tools sell welder jackets and aprons. Might be a good investment for these sorts of experiments to avoid getting burned and worse. Also, I hope your dog is safe.
+Alan Blair I've actually got both! I wasn't expecting an explosion!
That explains the first time, but....
+TheBackyardScientist could it be because the salt is molecularly polar and so is more attractive to the water that the other salts. I mean that's why it dissolves in the first place.
+Alan Blair I regret to inform you, the dog died of massive brain hemorrhage. His ears started bleeding just after the explosion 'cause he took his damn earcups off again.
+zombievac I knew it! When will we learn to make irremovable dog ear muffs?! Oh, the vanity of man!
In 1972 I worked at Elmira Heat Treat on upstate NY. They did various metals heat treatments to harden steel -My job as to dip 5 lawnmower blades in to a salt pot furnace for +20 seconds (incredibly hot-red/white melted salt) - move them to a special treated fire repressed oil bath to harden/cool them and then, after a set time to water bath for further cooling and then on to the drip-dry rack.
One day I witnessed from +20 yards a co-worker grab from the wrong rack - the drip-dry rack of wet blades and when he dropped them in the pot pretty much all the melted salt instantly exploded out of the pot ...everywhere...he was lucky that he had protective gear on but there were serious burns on all exposed skin, upper arms and neck...I suspect he still has scars from it today

Came from The slo mo guys video on this man that reaction is chaotic
1:10 “Stainless steel shotglass crucible” _Completely rusted and stained_
Stainless works because the chromium at the surface oxidises and forms a air proof / water proof layer of Chromium Oxide only a few atoms thick (also why Chrome looks so shiny as the oxide layer is so thin compared to thicker aluminium oxide which is not shiny). Heating the stainless steel destroys the Chromium oxide and then the oxygen from the air rusts the iron in the stainless. Also why welding stainless is a hassle, you have to treat the weld to restore the chromium oxide or else the stainless steel weld will just rust like untreated steel.
@@peterschmidt1453 thanks for the info
@@regs1917 So long as the chromium oxide layer stays intact. In welding, after mechanically cleaning the brown / blue heat tint oxides, the chromium oxide layer is restored by 1) electro-polishing - using electricity in an electrolysis reaction 2) Use HF or Citric acid treatment to dissolve the surface iron / nickel leaving the Chromium to oxidise into a protective layer. Stainless cookware would not get hot enough to damage the Chromium oxide in most kitchen settings. If your cooking meth, maybe.

Sodium chloride: 350g/L dissolves in water, sodium tetraborate: 38g/L in water, Calcium Carbonate: 0g/L dissolves in water. Basically, I think that the sodium chloride is not protected by the Leidenfrost effect because it reacts with the water (in that it dissolves). The Leidenfrost effect mainly works if there's a smooth surface that does not dissolve or react with the water. Since sodium does dissolve in water, the two do come in contact and hence flash boil to cause the explosion. The other ionic compounds do not dissolve in water very well and hence do not have the same effect
DANG JOS he copied and pasted this stuff from google probably
Pandas Are you talking about me??
Pretty close. Sodium Chloride has a high affinity for water (i.e. Dissolves as you put it). Molten salt is largely anhydrous and has lost almost all of its water of hydration AND it is hot! This affinity with a rapid heat exchange (difference in temperatures) creates a superheated space of steam in the middle as it sinks, which just wants to ..!@$^%%$#..expand away. Extending what you said, a good "boom" salt experiment should be with anhydrous Calcium chloride or Magnesium Chloride or many salts with high energies of hydration (affinity for water/solubility). (I would strongly advise against anyone trying this at home) Even this one was borderline unsafe from a personal protection issue. Flying glass can be dangerous and the hot salt can splash at an odd angle and burn you. Anhydrous salts with. high water affinity dissolve quite vigorously and produce a lot of heat, even when added as a solid at room temperature in water.
Art & Science But aren't exothermic reactions less effective when the temperature is already high? Well, actually I probably don't know what I'm talking about there so forget ti. Anyway, you're right that salt doesn't have a high heat of hydration. In fact, I believe that salt dissolving in water is actually very slightly endothermic. So this can't explain the reason for the explosion. Or perhaps you meant that it doesn't dissolve in water very well at high temperature. I don't know really, but I feel like it would rapidly cool and be able to react with the water. I really don't know though
Art & Science ok hear my version put molten salt in water it goes boom boom there
