Dropping a match into liquid oxygen
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 май 2021
- So today, I'm going to be making some liquid oxygen. Oxygen is normally a gas, but it can be turned into a liquid using liquid nitrogen. It's a bit hard to see, but liquid oxygen is faintly blue. This is very dangerous, but what's fun to do, is to throw a match into it. As a liquid, oxygen is an even more powerful oxidizer and it can sometimes react explosively.
WARNING: Liquid oxygen is extremely dangerous. It's an extremely strong oxidizer and can react explosively.

Love it when "Really dangerous" and "fun to do" appear side by side on this channel.
You must love this channel you're in almost every comment section lmao
Dangerous and fun oftenly go hand-in-hand.

Yep, that is chemistry in a nutshell, everybody
Liquid oxygen was one of the two things which were mixed in the F-1 engines of the Saturn V rocket which was the first stage in the stack which took people to the moon. The other was kerosene. Mix those two together and toss a match in. Then either watch your Pyrex tube explode, or hold on tight as you ride that beaker into the stratosphere.
This is a legendary visual
Scientists have to be able to stabilize it so it's weaker, and make it at scale, have to think.

thats not true. @@sampleoffers1978
@sampleoffers1978 you....know how math works right? If you're talking about launch force, we're talking about a beaker so it doesn't have to be that strong to enter orbit. If you're talking about the ammounts you need, as you said you would scale them so the strength of the fuel would still stay the same. What is there to think about?
“As a liquid oxygen is an even more powerful oxidiser”
Well, imagine oxygen as a *s o l i d*
I think something like that exists. It’s basically a forcefield with the consistency of jelly
You’d basically have to subject liquid oxygen to a vacuum. At a certain pressure, it will become a solid.
You mean powdered oxygen?
@@Kpimpmaster donught oxygen when?
Would solid oxygen burn? I would have thought that it would have to change to a gas first.

Fr now I want to take a shot of oxygen 😂
For a moment, it looked like the sudden heat was going to make the glass fail.
We keep 3 liquid oxygen tanks at work to fill portable oxygen units. When one of those units didn't seal properly during the fill, I learned how shockingly good oxygen is at staying liquid at room temperature. A small amount collected around the slot the unit fits into to fill, and it lasted for a good 30 seconds just bubbling away before it finally fully evaporated and left a nice deposit of frost
That's because of the leidenfrost effect. The surrounding stuff is so hot(relatively) that the liquid in question bounces away from the material(like a miniature gas explosion) creating a gap between materials, and gas is a good insulator. Paradoxically, because of this effect, the colder the liquid is(relatively to the other substance) the longer the liquid lasts.
An example would be to drop a red hot nickel ball into a beaker of water. Despite the extreme temperature difference, the red hot nickle ball will stay really hot for a long time as the water that touches is is forced away by the instant vaporization.(there's an entire youtube channel dedicated to using a red hot nickel ball on things. go check it out)

You brought back so many memories, thanks!
*lighting a single pop rock and wait for it to be burnt by a crisp whilst oxygen liquid and eating it*
@u know me? bruh
@u know me? that’s worse then a rick roll
If you ever wondered how Pop Rocks work: Sugar is heated until it is liquid and then it is exposed to CO2 gas under high pressure (40 bar / approx. 580 PSI). When the sugar is then cooled, pressurized CO2-Bubbles remain in the sugar that explode when you chew on the pop rocks or when they dissolve.
Ironically oxygen cannot burn. It instead makes it so that *everything around it suddenly burns a lot better*
Duh, its an oxidizer, not a combustible.
Its the red skull of chemicals
@@_420_69 Yet, the vast majority of people believe that oxygen, at least in its liquid form, is combustible. I once had to explain that to a safety rep where I work. Someone who should know better.
Well, I learned something today.
Oxygen CAN burn!!
O2+O = O3
Ozone. Ozone is burnt oxygen
i need a version of this without the voiceover, just because the sound of the match hitting the oxygen is the most fun sound I've heard in a while
That has got to be the cleanest burning anything anywhere ever.
Yes. For a better clean fuel mix it with liquid hydrogen
Smoke is just material that didn’t burn so you’re right
"That's a clean burnin' hell I'll tell you hwat"
-Hank Hill
I had no idea it could burn so readily at such a cold temperature!
Hydrogen would burn cleaner as it would only produce water vapor. This reaction also produced water vapor, but it also produced, at the least, carbon dioxide.
I never thought I would see such an efficient combustion of a match
First
Also yeah it was really cool that it used up all the carbon in the area e.g in the wood of the match

In school we saw a demonstration where steel wool "burned" in an atmosphere of pure oxygen.
every man's last words
"now this is dangerous but fun to do"
I spent a career in the U.S. Air Force servicing and maintaining large transport and bomber aircraft. We handled Liquid Oxygen (LOX) on a daily basis. The aircraft have LOX storage tanks that hold 25 litres on average. The Oxygen boils off into a converter/regulator that brings it down to a low pressure gaseous oxygen for breathing. Some aircraft also had Liquid Nitrogen systems for fire suppression. Of the 30 years I spent in the AF I was certified to handle cryogenics for 29.5 of them.
did anyone else brace for impact when he said 'it can sometimes react exposively'?
it can sometimes react explos- cut to atomic bombing clip
Yeah, because I remember my high school chem teacher setting off a dry-cleaning bag of pure hydrogen. *BOOM! *
No but I was worried the tube would melt!
I was expecting he'd be using a set of tongs about 20 feet long operated by a student - as they're cheap to replace.
I sure did.. I thought heard some where liquid was so volatile that even those stunt guys from that old discovery show (where they'd try stuff seen in films, the name escapes me) wouldn't mess with it.
"And it can sometimes react explosively"
_points camera really close to tube_
and yet no explosion 😑
And i squint my eyes and brace for explosion like i'm there
Subscribed- dude I was sold on the starightforward title and the short and simple video... none of those 20 minute lectures before seeing it burn.
Man I just love the non-intuitive phase changes you do. Turning gas CO2 into solid, gaseous oxygen into a liquid. Do you have a set up that can get high enough pressure and cold enough temp to get CO2 as a liquid? I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen that. Thanks for all the great experiments!

Also it educate you just slightly
If you mix liquid nitrogen with liquid oxygen, you get liquid air.
That dry wood is perfect fuel for that little test! Super neat!
It's a perfect match!
And the small part that is left is mostly the fine glass powder in the match head. It's added to increase friction to better ignite matches.
Thank you!
@built different can you not post random things unrelated to the video
No, it's going to be almost the whole match head. Because the products of the chemical reaction in the match head are mostly solids. The match head is a solid mixture of an oxidizer and a reducer, and it doesn't even combine with oxygen in order to be spent in the first place. A match head reacting isn't truly fire for this reason, and this is also why it wasn't affected by the liquid oxygen.
I randomly found NileRed and I am now addicted to it
You can catch up on the shorts pretty quick.
Yeah, im glad RUclips recommendations were finally on point.
Then check out the other, greater NR, nurdrage. That one is the paragon.
When he throws the match in it was satisfying
Try burning a diamond in liquid oxygen, it lights up like a highway flare.
That sounds really cool but very expensive. Then again I'm sure some of the chemicals and lab equipment Nile handles are worth a hell of a lot more than a single diamond, so maybe it'd be worth it.
Great idea, but I wonder what it takes to ignite a diamond. I imagine it's a lot harder than striking a match.
A small diamond couldn't cost too much.

Damn, I missed my chance. I used to do demos of liquid nitrogen for physics club, and if you put a toy balloon in LN2 it shrinks like crazy, and ends up with some liquid O2 in the bottom. Now I wish I'd touched a match to the bottom of that balloon!
If feel like this video is enough education to justify my drinking session tonight. Thank you.
And tomorrow too!
“I use the liquid to make the Liquid”
when you discover his channel 2 minutes ago and see a new short uploaded
Many years ago, I was in a training class on the dangers of LOX, because it was used in early ballistic missiles. A film (yeah, years ago) was shown of LOX being poured down a simulated maintenance individual's clothing, and a cigarette than was dragged with a long string up through the clothing after the LOX container was safely removed. Puff. No mannequin.
We saw something similar on the dangers of using compressed oxygen to 'blow' clean .. remove dust and debris from one's Work Overalls. Light up a cigarette immediately thereafter and 'Woof' ..
I'm glad this video is straight to the point instead of like 8 minutes of filler just to get more ads.
you are the only person that can make this kinda youtube stuff interesting, the rest makes it feel like school lol
My old chemistry professor was like this. If the teacher knows their stuff and loves their job... it doesn't feel like school either. :3
Here are some things that can spontaneously ignite when in contact with enough liquid oxygen
1. Asphalt
2. Titanium
3. People
When I did cryo safety training we were told that if we got lox on us the only things we were able to do were stand still and pray.
That's insane!!!! When I took first aid, we were told the O2 would react with any grease or oil contamination on the regulator...
Love the absolute minimalist nature of these vids. All the good stuff but not a single extra word or shot. Bam.
In hearing this guy talk, I'm picturing Dave Foley.

That's an entertaining quickie . You need to tell us if the combustion region became hot amidst all that coldness. I almost think the tube went from far sub zero temperature to very high temperature . I believe that would require quartz glass tube rather than borosilicate tube . Maybe though it didn't get so hot but that intense light emission has gotta be temperature dependent . Or is it like the glow of phosphorus?
Im pretty sure it even made a hole in the tube, you can see smoke coming out of it
Science is like a jailbreak on a phone but for real life
This channel is exactly what I need from yt

_Our guy gets in real close with the macro zoom._

This guy is the reason why i started to love chemistry.
When I was in the Navy, the one thing I respected the most was LOX. Evil, evil stuff.
Why? It’s just gas. Unless you get the liquid on your hands or skin, it’s pretty harmless. The only way it can do damage is if something explodes next to it. I use one for glass work and have done some silly things to get tanks to and from the supplier. They’re about as harmless as a water tank most of the time
@@pyroglyphicsglass "most of the time"

@@CrisCheese_ That makes sense
It really is just you
I'm actually a bit concerned
Just you.
Actually, I'm with you, it is kinda cute.
It should be said the oxygen simply accelerated the burning of the available fuel. (the match) Holding a match in your hand it burns slowly because of the available oxygen in the air. Add more oxygen it burns faster. Oxygen by itself is not flammable.
Thats what i was gonna ask. If oxygen is a fuel
i believe dropping a burning match in a pool full of liquid oxygen should in theory be harmless as the greatest extent of the fire will be burning the match. But dropping it in a pool of petrol would be disastrous.
Correct. Like a turbo charger on a gasoline engine.
@@aaronleperspicace1704 drop a burning tree into a pool of liquid oxygen.
@@robbyddurham1624 As soon as the tree fuel is exhausted the remaining oxygen can no longer support the burn

Oxygen goes from a gas to a liquid around 90 K, or -183 °C. This man picked up the tube with his bare hand. What a baller.
He grabbed the tip, where there was no frost, which was still probably cold, but not as cold as where the frost was
Glass is really bad at Thermal Conduction, which is one of the many reasons its used as a Beaker.
This man made artificial sweeteners from his own urine so what do you expect
When science and social media combine its actually pretty educational

That's why they are used for rockets (getting better efficiency)
God: How'd you die?
You in Heaven: I choked on oxygen
God: Tf
I used the LIQUID to make the LIQUID
The match head made me laugh for some reason lol
"Yep that's me, you're probably wondering how-" 💀
Straight to the point. I like it. Not a 15min video about the set up and
"Where's the match?"
"Gone, reduced to atoms."
deadass thought it would go out since it's liquid, then my brain was like: 'oxygen is how things burn ya dummy'
This actually isn't a dumb thought; oxidation is indeed what causes things to burn (though the oxidizer doesn't have to be oxygen; flourine is an even more powerful oxidizer than oxygen!) BUT, chemical reactions often require some input energy to start, even if the reaction as a whole is exothermic.
The match itself is a good example. Yes, the chemicals in the match put off energy when they burn, but they won't just spontaneously burn at room temperature. You have to put in some energy (heat via friction in the case of the match) to get that reaction started. For that matter, wood burning is an excellent example as well: it has to be heated hot enough to start a chemical decomposition reaction to release flammable gasses before it will actually burn, but once it starts burning, it puts off more energy than was put in to start the reaction.
Wondering if the liquid oxygen was so cold that it would put the match out before the oxygen could start reacting with the flame is a perfectly valid interpretation of what is actually happening, and without testing it (or checking the charts of the reaction initiation energy vs the amount of heat the lit match generates vs the temperature of the LOX... which is of course all data learned from prior tests), you can't say for certain.

Nile: *Throw a match in it.*
Here’s the real question:
If you fill a pool with this stuff then go under can you breathe?
It is oxygen after all
Good Question, but I dont think so. It's around 90-50 Kelvin in temperatur, thats like -200 °C -/+ 20 °C, read the wikipedia for some other interesting facts.
For the fun part, ignoring the temp. I think you would have some fun trying to get a fire "underwater" :D like with these storm matches :)
well in liquid form qxygen is so low in temperature that you will die of frozen body parts, they will literlaly freeze and break all your throat ,trachea and freaking inside of body.
if we image lets say we are immune to freezing cold, the oxygen liquid ones it enters the lungs, it will take some time to reach alveoli( grapes like stuff where oxygen dissolves in blood and co2 is released back.)
and most of the liquid will already turn into gaseos oxygen and it will exchange. but cold oxygen will also convert the co2 gas into dry ice and that will take time to become gas again, so co2 crystals form inside lungs and can damage tissue. co2 frreezes easily when compared to oxygen.
what problem is that if you inhale pure oxygen, you will die even if oxygen is inghaled in gas form
either way its not safe
they use this only in critical lo o2 situations
"To show you the power of oxygen (lights up a match) I blew my house in half!"
We made LOX onboard Aircraft Carriers for Pilots respiration systems and the sick bay surgical suites. Compress and liquify air into a separation system. Argon for the welding shop. Can make Hydrogen and Ammonia for the Reactor primary coolant chemistry. Nitrogen good for purging certain systems.
The SOUND was the coolest.
Pour on iron to instantly rust it (I'm not sure if you have a video of this already but Nile it would be pretty cool to see you rust metal with liquid oxygen then remove the rust chemically).
To viewers from the future, this is what people in quarantine are watching.
"Now this is really dangerous, but whats fun to do..."
Mad scientist catchphrase
Imagine dousing someone in liquid oxygen, freezing them to death, then quickly and easily burning their body with but a single match.
