Here's Why You Should NEVER Mix Bleach and Ammonia
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 май 2020
- Ammonia and bleach are very popular for cleaning surfaces. However, the fact that you should NEVER mix ammonia and bleach is so well-known because their combination may lead to the formation of dangerous, potentially hazardous byproducts as a result of certain chemical reactions that occur between the two compounds, Since sodium hypochlorite is the active ingredient in chlorine-based bleach, it may first decompose to form hydrochloric acid, which can then lead to the formation of chloramine vapors. Exposure to these toxic gases can trigger symptoms like irritation to the eyes and nose and coughing and shortness of breath. So, never mix ammonia and bleach!

POV: you’re looking at this video because you just accidentally mixed these two and are scared you might die
LOL I just did the same trying to clean up nail polish 😭😭 I am here for the same reason
Never done it by accident or on purpose, but I know I'm the type to do it eventually
This literally happened to me today. I didn’t know you weren’t supposed to mix the two. My throat feels horrible
I just looked it up randomly but it scares me that this type of thing could happen pretty easily
I was cleaning my cats pee in my bathroom 🥺 my eyes were on fire and I felt like I was breathing in menthol 🥲
An aunt of mine once had an even better idea to thoroughly cleaning the toilet, by not only mixing ammonia and bleach together, but adding hydrochloric acid as well. 👍
After regaining consciousness after an unknown amount of time, the toilet indeed had become pretty clean. 😉
Actually HCl and Bleach (in VERY VERY dilute concentrations) cleans really well. But *VERY* dilute, as in, a few teaspoons of each in the toilet.
@@ThePeterDislikeShow Dilute concentrations, that's exactly what she didn't do. Frankly, completely the opposite. 😉
She isn't dead is she...?
What happened to her?
Did it melt the toilet?
I remember mixing these two as a kid because I was told not to..
now i know what to do when im home alone...
Me too!
Please be safe you are loved 🖤
Did it work tho? I'm 24/7 home alone
@Rumman47 don't ne rude to other people
@@litlecat9610 don't listen to Rumman47 you're sweet protecting others❤
Peggy, that's the recipe for mustard gas!
2:40 You _would think_ that it's a very well known fact that you shouldn't mix these two, but my grandmother (70yo) wasn't aware. And when this COVID crap started, she got super obsessed with cleaning everything and making sure everything was sanitized. She was putting bleach on everything and mixing it with everything. I had to call her and tell her not to mix it with ammonia, because its dangerous. She was going to mix it with some glass cleaner, but when I told her to make sure she knows whats in it, she saw on the bottle that it was ammonia based cleaner - Whew!
I should probably read on the long lasting effects. I worked with cleaning this summer. No one of my coworkers or I had any idea. Had never heard of it before. Just remember thinking it was a stupid idea mixing cleaning products, which it was. We were instructed to in any case
@@banjillaphranks Jesus, that's scary. They should put some obvious warnings on the bottles.
Then again, maybe the Tide pod eating generation would treat the warnings like instructions.... lol.
Know your chemistry people, knowledge is fear.
Thankyou...This happened to me age 14 Im 63now with lingering problems...all these years later...Validating!!!
I assume the 21 people who disliked this video like getting poisoned?
They probably used it to kill someone....
Bet there is at least one guy that's watching this thinking
"I would definitely try this afterwards!"
I am going to do this tomorrow, I have a very expensive gas mask, not sure if this enters the lungs through the skin so I will wear a full suit just in case. This is the final solution to those bed bugs in my camper, I am going to gas those dirty bastards!!!! "Evil Laughs!"
Mr Blank we should be friends
ME
@@DJxSGGxNeo come on why would you do that it's very dangerous
@@baileymccoy2997 didn’t you read it they have a hazmat suit
So, mustard gas
It is very informative to know the difference in this chemicals and most house cleaners should know about. Other wise you may get harmful effects. thanks for sharing.
Welcome to the trenches.
I have a question. Does bleach react with generic bar soaps that are used for bathing, because most of the time when I clean the bathroom there's soap residue and I'm just wondering if bathing soap and bleach react to produce something toxic
Thank you very much for sharing this helpful information
So i can go to dollar tree and leave with the ingredients for mustard gas
Love your Videos ❤️
I love your videos. Keep it up science ABC 👍
By the way congratulations for one lakh subs✨
Thank you so much 😀
@Science ABC welcome 😊
Thank you for sharing
I actually did not know this until I saw a random King of the Hill clip that informed me of how it's the recipe for _mustard gas_
Accidentally mixed them when I was mopping my garage floor, as the ammonia cleaner wasn't completely dry before einbekached the floor and it created mustard gas. we had to evacuate the house and I breathed in enough to give me asthmatic symptoms ever since. I could. Barely breathe for weeks after that.
Admin, it's too late for me. I mixed the 2 and now have a very sore throat and dry cough... It's been 6 hrs now, will these symptoms fade away?
We're sorry to hear that. Since you are experiencing discomfort, at this point, it's best to consult a medical professional.
Your throat has already been damaged by the acid
@@peterzingler6221 not true actually I took a lot of throat medication and drank water, got better after 2days😜
Girl same! What did you mix?
Aaaaaand i have to do a science project that needs this :)
Many years ago, I used bleach to clean a litter box. I learned not to do that again. Good thing it was in the tub. The fumes were nasty. I just left it till it was done.
Write that down
write that down!
Good to know. Thank you
So if I mix the two in a small enclosed bathroom how long before it kills me?
My mom decided to pee in bucket during a meth bender then decided to clean it out with bleach. She ended up in hospital with shortness of breath and remains there now. While cleaning her completely filthy house i found said bucket and it stung me in the eyes, i ran out of the room. I wonder if it got mom too, or maybe it was just the meth. It may remain one of life’s mysteries.
WADR pickles, I think that elusive and mysterious "meth pee and bleach in a bucket" conundrum was quickly deciphered by us after you started with "My mom" and alluded that the house was filthy...I've met a cpl of tweakers throughout the years and the one constant I've noticed w them is they like to keep things tidy!
Mustard gas
*grins* and it doesn't take much a good whiff and you will start cough and chocking uncontrollable as it burns inside of your lungs. Be careful with house hold chemicals
Thank you for making such amazing videos! I always enjoy your videos! So keep making them! ❤️🇮🇳
Glad you like them!
THANK YOU
A guy came today to wash my mattress and he mixed bleach with another detergent. I don't know if it contained ammonia. I left the house for 3 hours and when I came back I could still smell bleach. Should I be worried?😟
Using only bleach to clean mattresses and carpets does have its downsides, as it may leave white stains. People often dilute bleach by adding water before using it on mattresses or carpet. Since you did not see the products mixing bleach and ammonia, then it's really difficult to say anything about its chemical composition.
We'd suggest you keep your room well ventilated for a while and the smell should go away. We hope you're not experiencing any irritation in nose, eyes or mouth, but if you are, then you should seek medical help.
Remember that it's always a good idea to ask the guy what cleaning products they're mixing together and if you should take any precautions about it.
does this make mustard gas i need to know
I did this one time, mixed them to clean the toilet.
I saw the storm cloud that formed, flushed and went outside for a bit.
HELP!!!! I was cleaning when I mixed ammonia and a bleach based toilet cleaner, I saw a cloud of fumes come out of the toilet and now I'm scared!!! how long will it take for the chloramine gasses to neutralize??? What should I do please help!!!
Open the window, and close the bathroom door. I recommend flushing it with the toilet lid closed, so the fumes don’t get into the air. Wait like 30 mins. Go outside and get fresh air to make sure you clear your lungs. That’s what I recommend. Make sure to not do that again!
Peggy thats how you make mustard gas
So what happens if there is bleach in the toilet and you pee? Since there is ammonia in urine
It absolutely can react, there was a case of a man dying because he tried to clean a trailer toilet with bleach. The tank had old, stale urine in it.
6 years ago I worked at an assisted living facility, a co-worker of mine accidentally mixed these two attempting to clean the floors, I was finishing washing dishes at the time. It burned the eyes and throat so bad that my coworker couldn’t dispose of it, I put my shirt over my mouth and nose and held my breath while I dumped gallons of it down the drain. Thinking back on it, probably should have evacuated the building.
I mix these all the time spray one on the trash bags when I'm outside, and then spray the other on the trash bags... Keeps stray dogs and cats, raccoons, and crows from tearing open my bags of trash every week. They get one whiff of the chemicals once they get near the bags, and then they go away. 🙄
That’s what my mom does 😭 I wish she’d leave them cats alone
The first step is to find a location where you can mix the chemicals without being disturbed. A good place to do this would be in a secluded location in the school, such as a storage closet or an unused classroom. Once you have found a suitable location, gather the following materials: a container of ammonia, a container of bleach, and a length of tubing.
Next, mix the ammonia and bleach together in the container. It is important to use equal parts of each chemical, as using too much or too little of either one could be dangerous. Once the chemicals have been mixed together, attach one end of the tubing to the container and the other end to the ventilation system.
Now, open the valve on the container and allow the gas to flow into the ventilation system. It is important to do this slowly, as releasing the gas too quickly could cause the ventilation system to become overloaded and potentially cause a fire. Once the gas has been released, close the valve on the container and remove the tubing.
If done correctly, the ammonia and bleach will mix together in the ventilation system and create a toxic gas. This gas will spread throughout the school, causing anyone who breathes it in to become sick. This can be a very effective
I did this and I can admit watching people die was pretty funny

And that kids is how you make mustard gas
I mixed it and Drank it...But i didnt die but It burns My Esophagus...Then a Few mins...It disappeared
What to do if you mix them but it's very diluted with water?!?!?
Idk but I’d guess it’s better to just n o t
I was working in a kitchen and my assistant mixed two cleaning products into a mop bucket. The fumes it created hit you like a brick wall. We had to empty the kitchen and fumigate the place.
Dang now I'm on a list dang youtube recommendations
Why is ammonia used to purify water supplies
2:49 Fun Fact: That gas is mustard gas
Why does bleach have a oily feel?
What if we mix bleach power and lemon juice is it good for skin
Bleach is never good for the skin
The picture at 3:30 is so funny, why did they make this stock photo 😂
didnt stop me from doing it. my head hurts now
Your reaction mechanism is wrong. NaOCl will never decompose to HCl in an alkaline solution. And HCl doesn't form chloroamines when reacting with ammonia. It's a direct reaction between the ammonia and sodium hypochlorite that forms chloroamines.
Can these chloramines be considered an oil?
You told people to mix ammonia and bleach?
Only if they want bathroom fixture that shine like the sun!
Peggy, that’s the recipe for Mustard Gas!
now im going to the kitchen to mix them
Whaddabout mixing ammonia, vinegar, and chlorine bleach?
Nope, not a good idea.
@@Scienceabc idk i heard that vinegar and chlorine make chlorine gas, and ammonia and bleach make chloramine, so it would make some sort of even deadlier gas
And piss!!!
In a documentary with high production values, the background music is interspersed with the audio commentary.
Me working at a place that i don't like and then mix Bleach and ammonia:
Nothing cuts stove grease like amonia
So that's what Charlie did when he saw a cockroach
Thank you so much for this short video that explains to the simplest Minds , God bless!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Glizzy with a side of mustard gas
So..... you can make budget mustard gas?
Peggy, thats the recipe for mustard gas!
Why is it used in agriculture as fertilizer?
Good question! Ammonia is an important source of nitrogen for plants. Nitrogen promotes plant growth and improves fruit and seed production, resulting in a greater yield. That's why it is used as a fertilizer.
Science ABC thank you!!!
My great grandpa did in 1914-1918
So mixing both in a bottle would possibly make the bottle combust?
I've witnessed these mixed and sealed in a trash bag with a large live groundhog in a cage- didn't do anything to the animal after 20 min.
I'm still gonna do it
Too late.. I just did… I inhaled it. and I can’t even breathe well, nasal congestion, coughs and serious head aches
The backround music 💀
thats a cool video
You know what I'm thinking?
Home alone would have ended quickly if the kid knew this...
short answer: it makes mustard gas.
long answer: watch the video
But does it still clean your bathroom?
Uhhh I accidentally mixed hydrochloric acid and bleach what do I do
RUN
Not gonna lie my mother made me clean with this mixture when I was a kid
Babies when they're home alone:
I love mixing amonia and bleach, I love the buz, I dont get the worry It just makes a bit of a cloud other then that its harmless. Im sure the manufacturers water it down but if it was industrial grade different matter.

WHAT
You're going to die by age 30 lol. If you make it past that, come back and let us know if you're still alive or not.
*GOTT MIT UNS*
If you wasn't on a watchlist before you are now. :D
Pov your watching this video cos you wanna properly understand the effects of mustard gas without becoming sus to the government
but this one guy on an image board says it makes cool crystals! how can someone lie on the internet?!
You came here because of the hank hill video, I know it
This shit almost killed me today
@@Paonporteur Cleaning a refrigerator out in a enclosed place. Poured pure bleach and pure ammonia in a bucket with water. Thought my allergies was just bothering me, then I started seeing stars, vision started getting blurry and my lungs started to get inflammed to the point I had to take full deep breaths just to get O2 in my system. While I was driving myself to the ER my legs, arms and my head was becoming numb because of lack of oxygen to the brain. When I got there I was put on oxygen until my lung swelling came down. Dont ever ever ever mix bleach with ammonia!
0:34 So ur telling me, if I drink bleach I can create Chloramine gas?
if you survive yes
Science ABC: "If you mix ammonia and bleach accidentally, run away from the site to avoid toxic fumes".
*Shows image of happy little boy running outside*
PEGGY THATS THE RECIPE FOR MUSTARD GAS
I wonder how many people have died like this? Dangerous stuff to mess around with!
Yk it makes chlorine gas , so you can include some victims of ww1
I just want to know how not to do this
Do not try, please. I mixed them once accidentally and can never forget what happened to me. One of the worst moments of my life.
i just did this what happened?
@@zay8842 hi, really!? 🤔
@@atamo8770 yeah i dont think im gonna die but i am fearing for my life, i have an contamination ocd. so i was cleaning and didnt know about the ammonia + bleach thing im sure it was ammonium and those are two different things. what happened to you im just curious
@@zay8842 well i guess the danger is over. If you survive the first minutes, then there is nothing much to be worry about. Open all windows if it doesn't affect the other people around, but don't expose yourself again.
I had an extreme exposure, but i didn't have long term damages to my knowledge. Google what is best to do now. Don't panic.
Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today!
MOM! You've got to see what Phineas and Ferb are doing!
Lets say i want to do this safely so i can see for myself what happens when I mix these two chemicals together. Perhaps I want to make Hydrazine so I can use it as a rocket fuel for my homemade rockets.
I’m gonna do it now lol
I watched cause i was tryna cure my crystal .___. form dirt dahmit
You should throw some eq on that mic. Painful to listen to.
I am Drink that so what
Be my dumb ass about to use this to keep bears away.
Now i know what to do in chemistry class
This is a joke btw
