Hello everyone. Today we will conduct a reaction with chromium oxide 3. Chromium oxide will serve us as a catalyst. We will get the chromium oxide out of the reaction of the decomposition of ammonium dichromate.
Do not attempt to repeat following experiment by yourself!
For the reaction, we will take a metal cup and pour there a little, though nevermind, let's just empty the entire ammonium of dichromate.
Next, we ignite the substance using a burner and then observe the beautiful decay of the substance.
Well, the reaction has been completed now and we've got quite a lot of chromium oxide 3 as a result.
The first reaction with it is going to be the catalytic oxidation of ammonia using chromium oxide 3.
We will get ammonia gas from a Wurtz flask. To obtain it, we need a mixture of sodium hydroxide and ammonium nitrate.
Now pour the reagents into the flask. Since ammonia is lighter than air, it is best to collect it from the bottom of the vessel. To start the reaction, we’ll add some water to the mixture.
The reaction has started and now ammonia is entering the glass jar. After the jar is filled with ammonia, we need to heat up the chromium oxide 3.
Light up the burner, get a bit of chromium oxide 3 into a spoon and heat it up.
Now let’s add the retrieved red-hot chromium oxide into our jar.
What did just happen during this reaction, you could wonder. Ammonia in the jar has reacted with oxygen. The catalyst for the reaction was chromium oxide 3.
This reaction produces nitrogen oxide and water.
For the next reaction let’s take a metal cup and pour there a small amount of chromium oxide.
Place a piece of cotton wool soaked in ethyl alcohol onto the cup . Then, ignite the cotton. Now quickly sprinkle the cotton wool with chromium oxide.
During this reaction, chromium oxide catalyzes the oxidation of ethanol to acetaldehyde.
By the way, the smell of acetaldehyde is very much like a quick-drying super glue. Facebook: / thoisoi2

[@Fanaprimo]

I once had a teacher who smoked one cigar every lesson, I had to sit in front . After finishing his cigar , he did not let it die in the ashtray he was stomping it in the ashtray, the cigar disintegrated and started to smoke and stink. During a break in lessons I removed his buds and ash, put ammonium dichrome in the ashtray, cover it with the ash, placed the buds back and took off. The next lesson of him I was sitting right in front of a nice volcano at the end of the hour. He suspected me, but had no evidence. LOL.

I mean to be honest I don't understand why a channel like this don't have more subs to be honest this man has showed more and taught more people about chemical reactions than we could ever learn in school I watch this Channel and Nile red these guys make science fun and understandable

[@antigen4]

oh great - yes! i used to use this dichromate when i was a kid for a science class showing the anatomy of a volcano - and this was the final demonstration of the 'working' volcano

"We will pour a little... Nevermind, let's just empty the entire mount of Ammonium dichromate" XD Is that even how you spell ammonium dichromate?

[@sadafalam5745]

I love your vidio

[@theguy9179]

Dick Bone Nope. It's dichromate.

[@SG-bt2mg]

+Dick Bone wrong

[@moronicpest]

Dichromate is the more common usage, but the spelling Bichromate has also been used, particularly in the lithography industry in platemaking as well as photography. Same chemical, different spellings.

[@simondobbs4480]

but the correct IUPAC designation is dichromate (VI)

[@sossololpipi9633]

A reaction I think i *TRIGGERED* the oxide!

[@CamiloAndresGil]

The first experiment is the most graphic explanation of a stratovolcano formation.

[@Jeffrey314159]

Did Hollywood ever this same chemical effect to great volcanic imagery in the past?

[@rippspeck]

Having worked in the paint industry, my heart drops whenever I see undissolved (di)chromates. Call me an idiot for not being a chemist, but I never liked working with such heinous chemicals. This experiment reminds me of an interesting article I read a few years ago. Somebody proposed creating a usable atmosphere and lots of liquid water on Mars by nuking the surface to ignite the chromates which supposedly make of big portions of the sand. Now I see why the author concluded that it's a crazy idea.

[@Sevendogtags]

I don't think it was a few years ago, if you're talking about Elon Musk. He didn't want to nuke the surface, he wanted to blow multiple nukes at each pole of Mars, like tiny pulsating suns. It'll warm up the planet and melt the frozen carbon diooxide, CO2. A green house gas... It'll keep the planet warm etc etc... you get the point!

[@rippspeck]

I've only ever heard of Elon Musk from hearsay, never read anything by him or heard him talk. What you're saying sounds way more thought out than what I was reading about. Anyway, it's a very interesting idea and knowing he's the kind of guy who gets big projects going, I can't wait to know if anything like this would actually work out. Who knows, terraforming takes a long time, at least if you want to keep the costs low. Him and his associates might start sooner rather than later.

[@Sevendogtags]

rippspeck Yeah, It's very exciting and I really hope it would happen in our lifetime. Imagine just casualy planning a trip to a terraformed Mars... ha! That's just too good! ^^

[@HassouTobi88]

*gets cancer because chromium is higly toxic*

[@FLODDI100]

HassouTobi *this chromium oxide. chromium iii oxide isn't that dangerous

[@HassouTobi88]

FLODDI100 I see. Thanks for the info.

[@angelostsirimokos8104]

It is actually hexavalent chromium -- precisely the form contained in bichromates and in CrO₃ -- that is carcinogenic, isn't it? But I suppose you won't die of a single exposure, just as you don't die from smoking one cigarette, or even one thousand cigarettes. Still, better avoid breathing the fumes!

[@scappley1735]

*gets Juggernaut suit with gas mask* Safety is number one priority

[@adrienperie6119]

It's really nice that the reaction generates just the right temperatures to have the same color as an active liquid type volcano. Interestingly, that means the temperature is the same as the lava in those volcanoes.

[@11austin3100]

+Adrien Perié i'm no chemist but i'm sure the containers used in this video would not withstand magma like temperatures.

[@adrienperie6119]

11austin3100 magma and lava are two different things, but lava is around 1200 to 1300°c, and this reaction produces similar heats which you can see from the color of it. The reaction itself is that hot, but not the whole thing, of course, as it quickly cools down through the air. Yes it can withstand the reaction as seen in the video, window glass melts at 600 °C, so if the whole thing was that hot it would melt, however here there isn't nearly enough energy to bring any large part of the jar to that temperature. The reaction products also insulate the reaction front from the glass.

[@thejoe5722]

Careful with that brand of hand torch, I had mine blow up in my hand trying to do some dabs

[@dagan2353]

I love it

[@imirostas4920]

May I have a question? Where did the chromium go after you put the chromium-oxide in the jar? I mean NH3 removed the O from the Cr2O3. The oxygen then formed NO with the N of the NH3 and water with the hydrogen of the ammónia. What happened to the chromium?

[@meiko431]

Extraordinarly 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@sonicrising6614]

I hope a lot of school kids watch your channel because if I had these videos when I was in school, I would have become a chemist.

[@CryptoDatabase]

A tip, turn off your blow torch when doing an experiment so you can record all aspects of what you are doing including sound. All that can be heard is that loud torch.

[@myrthabelizaire6430]

that is so cool

[@XninjazXxx]

***** Chromium oxides are extremely carcinogenic and will cause cancer.

[@SpicyLemons]

+Katt Queen *Azul

[@Camroc37]

+Katt Queen IT won't instantly give you cancer, just treat it like you would anything in a lab.

[@davidzed3274]

+Azule ​ Cr2O3 is not extremely carcinogenic. Only hexavalent chromium is carcinogenic, for example: potassium dichromate, sodium chromate, chromic anhydride (CrO3)

[@cupcake4474]

i was thinking to do that in chemistary lab😅

can i use K2Cr2O7 to get Cr2O3 instead of (NH4)2Cr2O7 ?

[@Lightsheder]

nice

[@yokaidokena3659]

You are the coolest Russian by far, now let's see what chromium oxide does when introduced to the inside of a 1976 Volvo with a cow stuffed into the backseat!

[@deaftodd]

That's a perfect idea to tell my son for his volcano show and tell at his elementary school!

[@P9E8wcbpN6Q]

+deaftodd you're most likely to give everyone in your child's elementary school cancer, because ammonium dichromate is highly carcinogenic and WILL give cancer on inhalation of the dust

[@deaftodd]

+LargeVirus Thank you for the note! I will carry on that message. I will stay with vinegar and baking soda. I just hope that red dye won't make any cancer.

[@P9E8wcbpN6Q]

deaftodd there's a much better one i know of, you have to get high concentration peroxide (about 30%) from a beauty parlor and some yeast from a grocery store or some potassium iodide from a chemical market. so you put the 30% peroxide in the bottle, dissolve potassium iodide if your using it, add food dye and put soap inside the peroxide bottle, then pour it in! the yeast method you just have to put soap in the peroxide bottle and then dump in the packet of yeast. i wish your son good luck at his volcano show and tell =)

[@deaftodd]

+LargeVirus Thanks for your brainy idea! Yeah some people can overlook at certain things. There's one guy was playing with chlorine and hydrogen to show its photochemical reaction in the college lab without thinking about HCL getting into his lungs.

[@P9E8wcbpN6Q]

deaftodd yeah, it's pretty common, but it's not really their fault :)

I would love to see ants flying out of that chemical reaction

[@antonioleon8041]

When i vape i use nichrome wire for building my coils, that coil then heats up liquid and turns it in to vapor for me to inhale After a couple of days there is a residue in the coil that i think could be chromium oxide My question is: if that residue is actually chromium oxide, does it evaporate for me to enhale? Or is it too heavy and never flies off with the vapor? (Vaping temperature is around 250 °C - 300 °C)
