Thanks! These are both obscure acids and it was a fun video to make! But HOLY COW nitrosylsulfuric is strong!! I've never seen silver turn ghost-white so quick like that!!
@@The_OsmiumChannel I love that you put that sodium nitrite to good use. Thats so cool. And yeah some of these obscure acids are crazy strong. Chloric acid is one thats very useful when diluted but holy shit does it burn if you get a drop on you.
@@PoorMansChemist 😆Yeah, chloric is pretty goddamn strong-it etches osmium when concentrated and explodes when you heat it up. I just made bromic acid for the first time recently and uploaded the video. I was surprised by how differently it behaved from chloric.
@@The_OsmiumChannel Interesting. I will have to watch that. Ive never played with it. And yeah Ru doesnt react well to chlorate either. I cant remember exactly what the conditions were but atomistry talked about it. One of these days I really need to make some RuO4. This is great I love that other people are out there making weird compounds. We are creating a huge library of prep videos for everything under the sun.
Osmium is a member of the platinum group metals. It is a noble metal, and it is rather inert. It's resistant to boiling Aqua Regia, chlorine, bromine, iodine, pure oxygen at temperatures below 400°C etc etc etc... It has a very bad reputation because of OsO4.
Have you tried oxone? Since it has peroxymonosulfuric acid and is easily accessible too im curious if that could defeat osmiums insane defense. Im dumbfounded at what actually does not have an effect.
You are dumbfounded because of the wide-spread myths you've heard about osmium metal. I haven't tested potassium peroxymonosulfate (oxone), but I've tested potassium peroxydisulfate (persulfate) and it doesn't react with it unless it's molten at over 400°F.
You need extremely high oxidation potentials to get a non-negligible reaction with osmium. Boiling Aqua Regia, boiling conc sulfuric acid, boiling 50% hydrogen peroxide, HF/HNO3, molten NaOH... these things do not affect osmium. Things that do react with osmium include perchloric acid >72%, manganese heptoxide, boiling conc nitric acid, and molten alkalis fused with an oxidizer.
Awesome video!! 🥰

@@PoorMansChemist Well, I'm mostly out to destroy the osmium stigma, but yeah plenty of obscure mixtures and acids here!
I am enjoying your osmium chemistry, though it is with mixed emotions of relief and perplexity that I watch your lovely chunk of osmium lose no mass.

@@The_OsmiumChannel That's lucky for it.
Absolut win of a video ✌️
