    In 10th grade earth science class some kids thought it would be funny to spray hydrochloric acid in my face, mostly in my eyes. (bullies obviously) It is one of the most extreme pains i have ever felt. The teacher got me to the eye wash station very quickly, maybe 45 to 60 seconds had passed. i washed my eyes out for around 15 min before i went to the nurses and continued to rinse my eyes for another 10 as i waited for me mum to bring me to the doctor. at the doctors after looking at my eyes said that if i had waited any longer to rinse my eyes that they would have deflated. the recovery took about 1 to 1.5 months. oddly enough the only problem that continued after recovery was an odd colour blindness. Colours would change as i looked at them if other colours were brought near the colour i was looking at. to this day i can still see colours wrong. Acid is scary!

    We used HF in one of the production lines, all of the guys I met who worked on the line had some exposure. The cure is to inject calcium gluconate under the skin at the point of exposure multiple times. If you ever walked under the reactors you didn't look up you looked for holes in the floor to see where there was leaking.
    As an undergrad I worked at an incinerator, we received some barrels from the EPA that were mislabeled on the manifest. The sampler thought it was a pretty safe and routine chemical and sampled it without the full suit. He didn't notice the exposure right away, but said it itched when he got home. It progressed to actual pain, they had to amputate the thumb for an exposure so small he didn't notice it.
    BB is frustrating for someone with chemistry knowledge to watch, you have to treat it as a fantasy series. I played a game called the many deaths of Jessie where I'd count the number of times he should have died from how he handled the chemicals. The first I saw was when he was pouring HF from a jug into a container and it was splashing everywhere early in season 1. There were many deaths in that, especially once they upscaled the process and they were sticking their heads into and even climbing into the reactors.

      @user-dl8zj6ko8n 6 месяцев назад +1

      Even if a person exposed to HF receives immediate emergency medical attention and intensive supportive medical care with calcium gluconate that does not guarantee that the patient will survive HF exposure some patients who survive the initial HF exposure still end up dying up to two weeks after the initial exposure

    The deadly part about Hydrofluoric Acid is the reaction of Fluorine with calcium and magnesium in the victims body. It penetrates the skin easily and starts bonding with calcium and magnesium causing hypocalcemia and hypomagnesemia. The effects are more sinister than Hydrochloric/Sufluric acid burns, since it can take a while for symptoms to manifest. Tissue necrosis is often delayed and due to the lack of symptoms and therefore lack of treatment it can be more devastating than in the more immediate acting acids.

    • @Romenadan
      @Romenadan 9 лет назад

      Yup, I think this is the real bit of info that the video is missing, it's what makes HF so dangerous. Also, I think HNO3 would have been a better control than H2SO4 given that sulfuric causes heating via desiccation which obscures the acidic effects.

    • @bawki
      @bawki 9 лет назад +4

    I'm not a chemist, and am rather rubbish at chemistry that's why I'm asking this. A thing that interests me is how is that when you do a controlled experiment on a piece of meat with a very strong acid nothing spectacular happens even after a rather long time, and when you see victims of acid attacks they show severe acid burns and they were attacked by a commercially obtainable acids and not with pure stuff you can use in labs? Does live flesh react in different ways or is it about surface being attacked or about types of acids used?

    • @SilentSnipest
      @SilentSnipest 9 лет назад +82

      I am not quite sure of this myself, but I would be willing to bet that fresh/alive meat has significantly more moisture readily available for the acid to dissolve into. This would make it much more easy for the acid to penetrate the flesh and corrode the structures externally and internally much faster.

    • @Xz4
      @Xz4 9 лет назад +11

      Triflurormethansulfonic acid (or Triflic acid) is definitely safe enough to use small amounts of - I've used it in a lab environment before. It's used a lot in organic synthesis because you don't need aqueous solutions (which is useful as water is pretty reactive and can often break down sensitive organic molecules) and its conjugate base (the molecule without an H+) isn't nucleophilic (i.e. doesn't react with positive charges quickly) because it's so big and stable. It's also usually used as a catalyst rather than a reagent, so the amount you need to use is very small. However, using it in larger quantities e.g. the amount of acid used in the video would be very dangerous!

      The bond between hydrogen and fluorine is weak compared to the bonds fluorine wants to make with other atoms such as carbon.
      In water, HF undergoes rapid equilibrium where HF+H2OH3O+ + F-
      To my understanding:
      If just about any organic molecule gets near the fluoride in solution,, it will attack and form a sigma bond (single bond) which would be highly favored over the H-F rapid equilibrium state.

    At work (coded stainless pipe welding) we often use a gel containing a mixture of HF and Nitric Acid to pickle and passivate welds and the heat affected zone around them, to restore the full corrosion resistance of the material.
    It is truly nasty stuff that needs treating with the upmost respect 🙏 👍

    From Wikipedia: "Owing to its low acid dissociation constant, HF as a neutral lipid-soluble molecule penetrates tissue more rapidly than typical mineral acids." This seems consistent with your explanation, and with the results of the experiment. What makes HF so dangerous is not that it will instantly melt your face off, but that it gets absorbed into your tissues without initially being noticeable. Again from Wikipedia: "In the body, hydrofluoric acid reacts with the ubiquitous biologically important ions Ca2+ and Mg2+. Formation of insoluble calcium fluoride is proposed as the etiology for both precipitous fall in serum calcium and the severe pain associated with tissue toxicity." Stronger acids dissolve you on the surface. HF silently eats you from the inside out.

    As a formulation chemist i develop severe service industrial coatings for my company.
    My greatest pride has been to develop a flexible coating that is impervious to nearly every acid,including hydroflouric acids as well as virtually every other acid we have tested it against.
    Very fun development process.

    The scene in breaking bad showed the acid foaming and bubbling it's way thru a cheap plastic storage bin, the bathtub it was sitting in and frame of the house it was supported by upstairs in just a few minutes. Made it look nearly uncontrollably dangerous. Oh well, it was very entertaining to imagine something so powerful 😃 thanks for the demonstration.

      Not neccesarily, it depends on its strength.. although you'll never get the James Bond situation where someone falls in a tank of acid and dissolves immediately, there are numerous examples of attacks where blindness and burns happen within a matter of minutes. That's why if you get acid on you, or are attacked with an unknown substance, its essential to immediately rinse yourself with water as much as possible.

      Reaction speeds will differ with molarity which is simply the concentration of the chemical per liter. They used weaker concentrations to ensure safety since these acids will emit strong toxic fumes at higher molarities and overall isnt very fun to work around or clean up after the fact.
