[@bladenmartin]

A buffer is a solution which prevents change of pH on addition of any stuff to solution to a certain extent

[@kayakers6]

Bladen Martin: just making sure someone posted this before I did. thank you!

[@bladenmartin]

H2SO4 is Savage

[@ValorZeroAdvent]

Though buffers will only be formed with a mixture of a weak acid and weak alkali. Sulfuric acid is a strong acid and wouldn't form buffers. Anyway, the buffer will resist the change in pH best when the concentration of acid and alkali is the same, anyway.

[@airborne1ranger24]

[@shmoobly]

Eeveeboy99//thealolanraichugamer Albert Hoffman (synthesized LSD-25) took the equivalent of 2 and a half 100 μg tabs on April 19th 1943. 3 days later, he wrote about his experience with his love child and the bike ride he took home from his lab an hour after ingesting.

[@zommbiec7593]

Eeveeboy99//thealolanraichugamer alaxander hoffman discovered lsd and went for an amazing bike ride thats why.

[@NeRv0usSTA]

Hey, a buffer or buffer solution is something you put in a liquid (in this case sulfuric acid) to make sure its pH stay constant even if you put in contact with for example sodium hydroxide (something with a different pH). I'm not really sure why this is important for drain cleaner but for exemple you have a buffer in your blood because you need to have a very precise and constant pH to stay healthy and you don't want any ion in your body to change it.

[@retrograde3971]

NeRv0usSTA A buffer stabilizes pH because it's a reversible reaction. A buffer is when you make a solution of a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base and its conjugate acid. Sulfuric acid is a strong acid, which means it completely dissociates in water rather than partial dissociation. So I don't really understand how they can make an H2SO4 buffer, maybe it's something else, some other kind of buffer.

[@_inabox]

Dude! This is exothermic reaction and you are wearing rubber gloves!?

[@_inabox]

exothermic means that release heat, and he couldn't predict how hot and how fast it will react. rubber could just melt with his skin

[@untamed--music8253]

[@cainbl1]

As a researcher, the amount of dangerous things this guy does with improper PPE , or lack thereof, makes me very nervous. Grant is free to do whatever he feels like, however with 100k+ views I hope others will take heed and wear proper PPE when trying his "experiments" at home.

[@christianthomas408]

They’re nitrile chemical gloves

[@bobvader2001]

A buffer solution can resist small changes in pH so its pH remains reasonably constant. Shampoos and stuff have them in so the pH doesn't change and damage your hair and your body is full of them so enzymes don't denature.

[@sheps9699]

bobvader2001 they're made from a weak acid such as Ethanoic acid (CH3COOH) and its conjugate base CH3COO- (Ethanoate).

[@SpliefDaGrief]

sheps9699 ap Chem squad. Gl may 1st ;)

[@bobvader2001]

Indeed they are. You can also calculate the pH of a buffer solution using pH = pKa -log([HA]/[A]) (it's the concentration of negative A ions but YT comment formatting is not a fan)

[@rahulmahadik6680]

Hey Grant! I seemed to notice that while the solution was in its container, it hardened into the containers shape. Can you maybe try to put the acid and sugar into a mold to create awesome "lava rock" sculptures? Anyways, stay awesome!

[@q_eredaane4906]

as a chemist I have to say, the SO² is a deanger to all organic life and inhaling it can cause death, so do not try this indoors or at all, SO² can cause bleeding inside your lungs and there is not known medication or antidote, also it's extremely corrosive so do not ever touch it, it's worse then the H²SO3/H²SO4 that is used in the experiment

[@mlgxfragz7555]

Why don't you put sugar and sulphuric acid in a vacuum chamber so the bubbles don't form and will have a different outcome!

[@kaiarditha]

[@johannvonderbecke3873]

[@logangoswick2911]

[@davidtollefson2693]

why do you add the acid to the sugar instead of sugar to acid? so you wouldn't have to stir...

[@Colaman112]

I don't think you want to do that. If you added the sugar later, it might instantly react with the acid, and you might have a really bad day.

[@davidtollefson2693]

Colaman112 do you know that for sure? it looks like there is a long delay before the mixture gets warm

[@Colaman112]

I'm not 100% certain, but it would make sense. And I don't think it would even help with not having to stir since the surface tension might just make the sugar float on top of the acid.

This reminds me of the experiments I used to do when I was 8 years old using household chemicals found in the home. I'd just combine minute quantities of various detergents and chemicals typically found under the kitchen sink to look for any reactions. The coolest explosives I made was mixing Crystal Drano with gasoline, and a muriatic acid bomb by pouring some muriatic acid into a 2 liter bottle, twist up some aluminum foil (not tin foil) and drop it in, tighten the cap tightly, shake it up, and throw it (far a away). For the Crystal Drano bomb, I first used a McDonald's straw because they're really fat, capped one end with candle wax, poured in the Crystal Drano, then capped the other end with wax. Then dropped the straw into a close-able container of gasoline, and sealed the container. The gasoline dissolved the plastic of the straw, and once it made contact with the Crystal Drano, it exploded. Later, I drilled a hole into a ping pong ball, and used that as the Crystal Drano container, and plugged the hole with wax. It gives a longer "timer" before the gasoline breaches it. The muriatic acid bomb begins its reaction the moment you shake the bottle. Once you tighten the cap on the plastic bottle, shake it violently about 5 times, then throw it at least 30 meters away, and take cover (it will expel a cloud of acid which you don't want to be anywhere near). Then, watch as the plastic bottle doubles in size before the pressure makes the container fail. The loudest explosion was from using a 3 liter bottle. I was in artillery in the Army, and that explosion rivaled an artillery cannon firing. It rattled windows several houses away in my neighborhood on 1/2 acre land parcels. Oh, also don't set one of those off on a lawn as you will have a perfect 20 meter circle of dead grass for at least a year. If using a 3 liter bottle (or larger), it is concussive, and you can see the concussion wave spread across the ground ... Do not be anywhere near it as concussive explosions can cause brain injury. This is what kids who are bored, and in a rural area come up with (at least I did) LoL

[@leavoy]

Arctic the animus Icewing XD ikr!!!!

[@randomtimesrandomthings9394]

"Puff"

[@nayandusoruth2468]

Requires correct type of protection whilst handling sulphuric acid, you say whilst wearing a short sleeved t shirt, exposing a lot of skin for acid burning...

[@moth.monster]

If you watched to the end you'd see that he puts on a jacket because it started burning his skin.

[@justkaden2327]

how would grant know what 8 inches looks like

[@justkaden2327]

jk love u man

[@PrintTech-3D]

BeasT 2215 He knows what 4 looks like. All he needs to do is double it.

[@tide1168]

He knows what 1 inch is he just has to multiply by 8

[@PrintTech-3D]

He knows what 1/16th is he just needs to multiply by 128

[@tide1168]

He knows what 1/560 is he just multiplies by 4480.

[@radiowlet]

So here's an idea, instead of making a baking soda/vinegar volcano for your science fair, make a sulfuric acid/sugar volcano! Take one of those beakers and surround it with sand so it bubbles out and flows down like lava!

[@yoco4124]

two things first can you burn it cause if it carbon it should burn if you take the ash from the proudct and mix it in water then distill the water will it form a more malleable soild

[@jamesrichards9933]

Hehe he said use protection lol

[@RickDixkler]

James Richards ur mom didn't hehe same with mine hehe hehe

[@sebastianwalder2498]

hehe your geinus hehe xd lol hehe

[@RickDixkler]

Hehe he he he I'm a Japanese school girl hehehehehehhehehehe

[@jamesrichards9933]

It's mum for me

[@thebottleflipchanel9307]

It looks like it only hardened when hit the oxygen, if you would try it in a vacuum chamber it might turn into a liquid. Or the cold made it hardened so you could also try to keep the carbon ash a bit hotter so it might stay liquid. If any of these work put it in a mold so you have cool figures. (I would love to see carbon batarangs)

[@user255]

I think it hardens when the reaction completes, also the reason why it flows on top of the liquid.

[@ItsTime2Burn]

Would be difficult to hold a vacuum with all the gas it produces.

[@user255]

+Bats True and the gases may destroy the vacuum pump (depends on the pump)... however with some arrangements I think it would be worth to try.

[@thebottleflipchanel9307]

user255 but maybe you don't get a reaction if you but it in a vacuum chamber, then you don't have to worry about the smoke and after you got the mixture you can put it in a mold

[@user255]

+The BottleFlip Chanel No the reaction happens independently of air. Here is the *unbalanced* equation: H2SO4 + C12H22O11 --> H2O + C + CO2 + SO2. In reality that reaction does not complete perfectly and there are various side products. So, we know there is no need for air.

[@alimasood4000]

Try sealing the top of the bottle and also conducting the experiment on a plate as no pressure will build up like it did in the neck of the bottle

[@superkolios]

Grant can you mix liquid propane or butane with liquid oxygen and then light it up so the fuel burn all together Like if you want to happen

[@Larry1302]

Φίλιππος Τόλιας Liquid oxygen has a freezing point of -219 °C and a boiling point of -183 °C, its cryogenic. Because of its cryogenic nature, liquid oxygen can cause the materials it touches to become extremely brittle. So it's very difficult to store and i don't think grand is going to be able to get liquid oxygen.

[@ThePokemonPizza]

getting liquid nitrogen = free liquid oxygen think about it, oxygen is all in the air and liquid nitrogen is colder than the boiling point of oxygen...its easy

[@Samilord755]

I relate

[@R3MlllX]

Shouldn't these things burn pretty well ? You got carbon, air pockets and apparently very little moisture, seems perfect to me.

[@kleetus92]

Kinda, but this would act more like charcoal than say wood with some volatile resins in it.

[@MKollerSMS]

Actually, it wouldn't. The true catalyst of a "burnable" fuel is hydrogen. The simple formula is 2CH2 + O2 = CO + CO2 + 2H2O. AKA 2 Hydrocarbon + 1 Oxygen = 1 Carbon Monoxide + 1 Carbon Dioxide + 1 Water. It's also why hydrogen gas burns so efficiently and only has water as its byproduct (2H2 + O2 = 2H20).

[@ShadowVipers]

Madeline Koller um no, what do you think Coal is made from?

[@MKollerSMS]

Well, according to Wikipedia, carbon, HYDROGEN, oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur. Also, all gasoline-based fuels (methane, hexane, octane) are hydrocarbons, just FYI.

[@ZeusTheGodSoA]

I love your videos, absolutely amazing

[@adriangarcia5128]

It looks like a black Cheetos puff

[@tracegresham1807]

that is was i thought...lol

[@thumbknuckle_]

It's Cheetos' new flavor: Charred Carbon

[@meowmers3259]

Adrian Garcia No, it's Cheesy Poofs!

[@aquamoo-0000]

SpeedyDiamond64 XD😐😀😃😄😁😆😅😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😵💀☠️

[@liamgwinnis3671]

Looks like me taking a dump

[@siberianhusky5853]

Woah Easy There, Too Much Details...

[@liamgwinnis3671]

Nathzkie Paloma both

[@AlumiTube]

hehe yes

[@Utube0rElse]

Oh....That acid...
