Catalytic Oxidation of Acetone by Copper

[@ss-sq1hn]

Is this more efficient way of producing heat than just burning the acetone? Maybe if you have a hollow copper coil glowing like that and small amount of water running throught it to heat some water?

[@robormiston2841]

What kind of temperaters are we seeing? Can i heat my tent with a midified version ? I would put a square tube of metal above the penny or someting larger in size and put a fan in one end and push out warm air out the other end with the copper near the center of the tube. Think it might produce any heat?

[@igor-yp1xv]

How was the copper oxidized exactly? Was it the acetone's vapors? The heat and oxygen?

Thank you for posting this video.

For the "5 P's" - I've always preferred the more edgy alternative: "Prior Preparation Prevents a Piss Poor Performance".

"Proper Planning Prevents Piss-poor Performance" is how I heard it. Apparently piss-poor counts as one P.

Uuh, right, 5..

Would this reaction still take place if acetone vapor were circulated through the inside copper coil tubing that has been heated?

[@KleinLuzi]

yes, its the same principle

The original Gettysburg’s address spoken by Lincoln he says seven scores and sever years ago history books say four scores

[@bgmnmtt]

The original Gettysburg Address spoken by Lincoln was spoken in 1863; 87 years after the signing of the Decoration of Independence. A score is 20 years. If Lincoln said '7 score and 7 years ago,' he would be referencing the year 1716...50 years before the first American president and Revolution and a quarter century after Columbus 'discovered' the New World. I don't think Lincoln was referring to 7 and a half scores earlier.

I thought this reaction produced ketene, which is extremely toxic, similar to phosgene? If so, fume hood may be a good idea indeed. Anyway, is surface of the penny effected in any way? Copper oxide is pretty valuable to those who treasure conductive ceramics. I guess not, Cu is only catalyst, right? In that case the glowing penny could still make a nice night lamp.

[@membola]

yeah ketene lamp, ketene is incredibly toxic

Friend, I suspect someone has passed you a counterfeit penny.

[@mhxxd4]

I wish it looked red hot instead of just looking like a regular penny

[@user-ed7gm7ol8k]

wow ı try it

[@woweeeeee]

Bro that penny is so big

I fell asleep 3 seconds in...

An attention span is required
