Experiment: Coca Cola and Pool Chlorine Amazing Chemical Reaction

What Will Happen If You Mix Coke and Pool Chlorine?
Watch this strange chemical reaction - Coca Cola and Pool Chlorine
The small amount of phosphoric acid in the Coke sets off a chemical reaction with the calcium hypochlorite, producing poisonous chlorine gas and a spectacular little explosion.

[@TheNicerSplicer]

Great, now we know what Mentos are made of.

[@2f4fh]

Xd

[@nyarome8436]

+LilMerc Tosmen. not mentos.

[@firsthackers324]

Home Science where do you find chlorine or did u get it in water

[@themarchoftime3691]

Nah you can find them They are pool chlorines

[@unknownreality9260]

I am writing to warn you and others of the imence tragedy that would befall any person or animal that breaths the air from this reaction.!!! if some kids thought they'd do this for fun and they get a lung or an eye full of the gas vapors they would burn sensory structures badly. THER SHOULD BE A WARNING ON YOUR VIDEO PLEASE

[@sansaka4934]

+Home Science You actually didn't...

[@Zlurm]

+Sans Aka It's in the description

[@hunterwilhelm]

turn annotations on

[@queenofrandom9962]

ok i know that but i only have one questions what is in Coca-cola

[@scottevanmacfar]

Phosphoric acid.

[@Vnifit]

Careful boiz dats chlorine gas dawg

[@doublecooltothemax]

Word

[@antonioloccia]

Now we know that after a day in a swimming pool we can't drink coca-cola

[@jayzell99]

0:48 When she says dont stop XD

[@bubblebuttseck7125]

hahah

[@luvinrin]

Would this work with sodium hypochlorite as well?

[@StraysNik]

Do we need to use cold or room temperature water?

[@HaxxplaysALL]

Note to self, next time at pool, dump all coca cola in.

[@cody4916]

+BilboSwaggins it probably won't do anything

[@sebitaxwazzaap2913]

A child in africa would have eaten that pool chlorine, what a waste

[@Qui-9]

Wouldn't vinegar have created a more energetic reaction? ... And would have been nice to see the last 10 or so seconds of the video.

[@CCGW0RLD]

I just checked out your channel, dopeeeeeee, stay blessed !!!

[@halvtysken]

Does it work with liquid chlorine?

[@shiloh.patten]

what would happen if you drank that mixture. Is that internal combustion? Is that what happens when you process the consumption?

[@hameedalhilu]

is the chlorine a pure element or U R just bought it from the market

[@metallmind]

Svaka cast za kanal. Vrh

[@eltoro004]

At the this exact moment the Fire Department here in Panama is responding to a call of 31 kids affected by this exact mixture... This is no joke!

[@reddodeado301]

0:30 Well that escalated quickly.

[@finntheassasin775]

I tried it the other day and it didnt work....any ideas? Could it be, because the coke was cold?

[@ego8751]

Was that a time lapse?

[@loch1694]

The Coke was too poisonous for the poisonous chlorine.

[@marionfisk7926]

I think it’s the phosphoric acid that’s an ingredient in the Coca-Cola that reacts with the chlorine. Just think of what that phosphoric acid does to your body. It’s great for all the people that are addicted to drinking Coca-Cola all day long.

[@WillBuildsStuff]

Was it burning or freezing?

[@WillBuildsStuff]

oh cause if we tried to touch it thats gonna be a bad idea right? But do you know if its super burning?

[@bdunderscore]

+Babuco The Bacca It is literally boiling. That is why it bursts out of the glass - the heat from the reaction going on here (presumably a redox reaction between the highly concentrated chlorine and various organic compounds in the soda) causes the soda to boil from the bottom up, and the resulting bubbles push it out of the glass.

[@crektz9502]

+bd_ What?????? U make no sense.

[@mitchspurlock3626]

+cRektz he makes perfect sense you just don't understand what he's talking about

[@WillBuildsStuff]

Your right mitch chlorine water in swimming pools are warm or cold or room temprature. If it was burning you dont wannt lose a finger or two. If its freezing you dont want to get a frost bite if its SAFE TO TOUCH you will be SAFE!

[@SusieLaLonde]

So I googled what's in Coke, and here's a list of the INGREDIENTS: Carbonated Water, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Caramel Color, Phosphoric Acid, Natural Flavors, Caffeine. I'm no scientist, but do you think it's the Phosphoric Acid that makes the chemical reaction? I found this video to be very interesting. It's amazing to me how people come up with these experiments and why they do them. Interesting indeed!

[@IvoTrausch]

+Susie LaLonde it does, and it releases chlorine gas. This is actually a reaction you should avoid trying out.

[@BioTechproject27]

The acid, in this case phosphoric acid, starts breaking down CaCl(OCl), which is naturally in the Calcium hypochlorite, as the Ca(OCl)₂ is broken down over time through light, releasing oxygen in the process [2Ca(OCl)₂ -> 2CaCl(OCl) + O₂]. As the CaCl(OCl) is broken down, it releases Chlorine gas: H₃PO₄ + CaCl(OCl) -> HCaPO₄ + H₂O + Cl₂, this is exothermic. This chlorine gas dissolves again into the water in the coke, producing (hypochloric acid) HOCl and (hydrochloric acid) HCl. The HCl starts attacking the Ca(OCl)₂, making CaCl(OCl) and hypochloric acid again [Ca(OCl)₂ + HCl -> CaCl(OCl) + HOCl], whose CaCl(OCl) is again attacked by the phosphoric acid, etc. The hypochloric acid is broken down thx to the heat generated into hydrochloric acid and oxgen gas [2HOCl -> 2HCl + O₂], the hydrochloric acid further attacking the calcium hypochlorite. Because the reaction starts off with only few CaCl(OCl) molecules and produces more and more, the reaction is slow at first and as it generates more and more CaCl[OCl] and heat it speeds up. The gasses produced are Chlorine and Oxygen.

[@thefunkykrumpet5164]

I once left a bowl of ice cream under my bed for a year, when i remembered it was there, there where insect eggs inside of it, and the bowl had been overflown with white foam.

[@diegodiego3164]

Is this chlorine gas?

[@hameedalhilu]

is it dangerous or not and can I touch it without injury

[@doublecooltothemax]

The fizzing? You call that an explosion? You're easily entertained

[@chrisfeltner]

replace coke with break flud even better

[@THATMOFODIRT]

+chris feltner Discovered that when I was a teenager. Good times! Made me want to grow up and blow shit up!

[@Bruh-nk1in]

I looked up strange experiments and the others were scary so I clicked this one

[@hameedalhilu]

is the gas resurgent from it vestige on the lungs

[@almiruka5374]

is the acid strong enough to melt some skin off a human ?

[@joeyhcmc]

What does that giant fizz?

[@ahnnecrisostomo9997]

how did those in Coca-Cola and pool chlorine reaction and please explain why mixing chlorine with Coca-Cola

[@ZiddersRooFurry]

Coca-Cola contains phosphorous. Phosphorous when mixed with bleach makes chlorine gas. It's highly dangerous so please don't do this.

[@BioTechproject27]

[@bluevortex7992]

Hey can you please carry a video showing manufacture of nitrogen trichloride from Calcium hypochlorite and ammonia or ammonium salts or any other method?

[@cavemann_]

That look sick yo

[@user-wt4yv9dx5k]

Awesome!

[@janhendriksen7146]

Cocal cola company : Taste the feeling... Me : NOOOP

[@alexiajannedothee3288]

will the reaction still work if you do it with sprite or fanta?

[@alexiajannedothee3288]

cool.....

[@suit1337]

+Home Science and it should also Work with other salts of hypochlorous acid like sodium hypochlorite.

[@abigailchiu3761]

well duh

[@macready1930]

very nice, i add to my cart! yooo

[@mansaakhenaten3172]

I remember as a kid I tried use Clorox and fire to start a chemical reaction..

[@akashnijjar89]

Moral- never eat pool chlorine with coke.

[@1LTR4UL]

Oh, now I want coke :(

[@madhabkoirala5682]

can i use liquid chlorine with coke instead of solid one?

[@madhabkoirala5682]

plz help

[@BioTechproject27]

this is not chlorine, it's calcium hypochlorite, I think you are talking about Calcium hypochlorite/sodium hypochlorite in a solution, then yes, they would work, liquid chlorine would not work. But I highly discourage you from performing this experiment as it could produce other toxic gasses.

[@eternalcrux8261]

Good way to start the day

[@GriffinNate]

What is the chemical equation for this reaction?

[@BioTechproject27]

have you figured it out yet?

[@BioTechproject27]

If not, here I go: The acid, in this case phosphoric acid, starts breaking down CaCl(OCl), which is naturally in the Calcium hypochlorite, as the Ca(OCl)₂ is broken down over time through light, releasing oxygen in the process [2Ca(OCl)₂ -> 2CaCl(OCl) + O₂].

Can bromine substitute pool chlorine ?

[@BioTechproject27]

hypobromides can, yes

[@Ayodhya_56]

but why bro plzz tell me

[@neuronurseneurology8739]

Thanks to this video my child now has a large chemical burn to his right anterior ankle that will be extremely painful for a long time!

[@felipenoronha2]

Is that dangerous? Can you touch it?

[@alz0339]

I cant believe if i do this at a public swiming pool

[@xpetroliumswg3000]

I only came to this video because the picture for it looked like a snowman....⛄️

[@Elijah2cool]

Better hope the fine bros don't see this.

[@Akamaholic]

you win.

[@sophiah2749]

the acid and gas in the coca cola reacts to the properties of chlorine to create that chemical reaction

[@o2Tenka]

All that wasted coke.

[@stellabutler256]

AMAZING

[@alphapuggle]

So this is why they dont let people drink soda in pools :D

[@natek8538]

why does it fizz????

[@crafter135790]

Its boiling

[@redsonic7045]

Coca Cola (or any soda) + Pool Chlorine = Instant volcano

[@franciscocpaim]

I liked. Only science, no bulshit

[@lulumarlon9799]

so do not drink coca cola while eating chlorine

[@ewanforbes-leith5267]

That’s wicked

[@inwencja2009]

Too bad this wasn't done in a fumehood.

[@tomzenoth1964]

DDOI sent me here

[@san-jy5xh]

Note to self: If le person you hate is seen at le pool, dump all the coke at le minibar in.

[@squalbagandbutch5757]

it might be due to carbon dioxide inside the coke. have you tried shaking the coke to remove the co2 from it by shaking it then adding the pool chlorine

[@BioTechproject27]
