Fuming Pyrophoric Lead

[@jakobboye8300]

i love the way this video starts, straight to the point without an annoying intro that must be skipped through +1

[@lukasandrysik3666]

I like quick intros (5s max) - to adjust audio, set video to fullscreen etc without missing anything important

[@stevestarcke]

This is an old "Magic With Chemistry" experiment from more than 50 years ago. It's nice to see it come back.

[@Couchintheclouds]

Your skill at capturing these reactions on camera is amazing.

[@nigeldepledge3790]

This is outstanding! This has got to be the best slow-motion chemistry footage on the Internet.

[@kenbrady119]

I never thought that lead could be made pyrophoric. Nice work!

[@drflash36]

Me neither, until now! Most impressive!

[@skyethebi]

Pyrophoric gold when?

[@thomasrussell4674]

​@@skyethebiand finally pyrophoric solid helium.

[@brianfisher3620]

Pyrophoric lead is new to me and I'd love to see others. The reaction with iodine when slowed down was beautiful. I love sharing your videos with my father, he's a retired research scientist who's an avid fan of chemistry.

[@fartclown4404]

I think it would be neat if he did something with dinitrogen pentoxide/nitric anhydride. That's some high-end stuff.

1:43 PbO is known to be orange when hot and yellow when cold, but I've never seen its formation after combustion of Pb powder in air and then cooled also in air in slo-mo which is quite spectacular.

[@NukeSpectre]

All your videos are my dreams come true to see all of these violent reactions captured in such detailed way!

[@lurkmoar3926]

Incredible. Tremendous inorganic chemistry, incredible production values.

[@mgweberski]

These are awesome videos! They often leave me wondering about the reaction with fluorine and liquid fluorine - I bet they would be even more violent and cool!!!!

[@TestUser-cf4wj]

Your soundtracks never fail to impress. The energetic chemistry is pretty impressive too. Thanks for another great video. So glad I'm subscribed. I'm always curious to know what the temperature/ignition latency/detonation speed of these reactions are. For, um, no particular reason.

[@FaMo-kn6gr]

These are the most beautiful videos.... We have never seen or studied these interactions even in university.... Thank you, my friend, for this rate.... We hope that there will be more of these strange interactions.... Thank you again, my friend.

[@choopatroopa4445]

I feel like that first video of the lead nano particales igniting as you pour them out into air should be filmed by the slow mo guys! That would be the most impressive thing to see all of the particles in great resolution SUPER slowed down! i love what you have done already, but imagine watching it like 100000x slower! Keep up the good work!

[@diablominero]

This is definitely not at all terrifying. Definitely.

[@aaronsmith8073]

Not at all. Smells, looks and tastes delicious

[@sealpiercing8476]

This is one to keep the presenter on his toes, that's for sure!

[@katiebarber407]

the boomers have been doing this in their kitchens since they were kids. and they turned out fine

It's probably worrying that I get a semi when I watch these reactions

@@TestUser-cf4wj oh? *What was the semi hauling?*

[@tracybowling1156]

Felicks, you are so smart! I ❤️ your videos. I know I say that a bunch. But I have to say it again lest you forget.😊

[@kinoko4893]

I have seen that alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, iron, etc. burn in an oxygen atmosphere. I have also seen copper and gold leaf catch fire and burn in a chlorine atmosphere. It was the first time I had ever seen lead burn as a result of a chemical reaction with oxygen and chlorine, and I was amazed. Thank you for creating the video.

[@EddieTheH]

You sure it was gold? Dutch metal is a brass that's often used. Gold leaf shouldn't burn in chlorine.

[@EddieTheH]

Also, Iron is a transition metal.

[@kinoko4893]

@@EddieTheH The video I saw of the combustion reaction between gold leaf and chlorine is this, kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4K1i52bfsh1e7M. As you said, I don't even know if the metal used in this video is real gold.

[@EddieTheH]

@@kinoko4893 Ahhh, yeah, I think it's the Dutch metal demo.

[@Arrviasto]

Colours of that reaction are stunningly beautiful. I'm inspired to use them in some kind design

[@mersilvaureus1525]

And i thought the silver and gold nanoparticles I worked with were worrying... But lead? Hot damn.

[@bobsmith6079]

Another fantastic series of reactions beautifully shot. Thank you.

[@katiebarber407]

aerosolized lead? the boomers are gonna love this!!!

[@TestUser-cf4wj]

Back in my day we didn't need any fancy lab equipment to burn lead, just a V-8 engine!

[@theskoomacat7849]

As someone who has worked with lead, I found the idea of breathable lead nanopowder incredibly scary wow

[@Maccer229]

Beautiful video. Really awesome to actually see the progress of the creation of new molecules as the parent reagents combine.

[@debrainwasher]

I love pyrophoric and hypergolic stuff. Really.

I really did not expect the reaction with Chlorine to be so tame

8:42 how real ones do the golden rain demo

[@JoakimfromAnka]

I wonder how he cleans up after this. Tiny particles of lead, lead oxide, lead chloride, lead iodide everywhere. 😬

[@WorldofKlown]

Tartaric acid, lead acetate and heating things in sealed vessels were all well known to the Greeks, I wonder if this was an ignition source in the lost recipe of Greek fire. How does this react to water? I could guess the result is violent the usual liberation of hydrogen from the water followed by ignition in the air.

[@AJ-qv9yo]

Very cool. As always.

[@golddddus]

A few more chemical equations with calculated enthalpies wouldn't hurt a video, in fact.😎

[@brazilianambassadordale8223]

Something I would be real curious to see is how random things react with frustrated lewis pairs (eg, soln of tricyclohexylphosphine with tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane. Even found a paper discussing the usage of carbenes as lewis bases, although that might be a bit much). I remember I wrote a paper on them for my catalysis class in university and the reaction kinetics they allow for are pretty interesting. All they are are mixtures of sterically hindered lewis acids and bases that can fit chemical compounds between them. It's really simple but cool chemistry and such frustrated lewis pairs can be used to catalyze a huge variety of reactions by effectively forcing charges on substances that generally shouldn't become ionic (eg binding molecular hydrogen to form H+ and H- while activating alkenes/alkynes, thus allowing for the hydrogenation of double bond). Idk how much of the chemistry is spectacular enough for this channel but I've been very curious about what they might be capable of. They can also bind carbon monoxide, Nitrous oxide, sulfur and carbon dioxide, so on so forth. I'm especially curious with that nitrous oxide. Ik azides can participate in click chemistry with alkynes to form triazoles but nitrous oxide is limited in this department despite it's structural similarity to azides, although I remember reading a long time ago that frustrated lewis pairs can be used to facilitate a similar reaction to form 1,2,3-oxadiazoles. I'm struggling to find the paper now and I remember it being casually mentioned in a paper that wasn't focused on frustrated lewis pairs specifically so I might be misremembering. Still...

[@Sigmatechnica]

Nice! one doesn't really think of lead as an element that would react this vigeriously!

[@MartinMizner]

Guys, he didn't put *"Don't do at home"* sign in the intro So I guess it's safe even without respirator

[@jimsvideos7201]

The trick there is for you to try it at your buddy's place while he tries it at yours. That way neither of you, technically speaking, are trying it at home.

[@Redfvvg]

Is the same thing suitable for tin? Or, which method of producing tin nanoparticles is more suitable for a home laboratory? Thank you very much!

[@NonyaBiz-t5f]

can we assume that lead monoxide is not good to breathe and that this should be done under a fume hood? ;) i like watching you make stuff combust.

[@aetius31]

Does using oxalate instead of tartrate also works? And if so why did you use tartrate?

[@christopherleubner6633]

Oxalate works as well but the added carbon helps keep the particles small enough that they are easily pyrophoric

[@aetius31]

@@christopherleubner6633 Thx

[@spiderdude2099]

If you finely divide a lot of different transition metals, they will be pyrophoric. Most actually.

[@tek5358]

Oh wow, the reaction is pretty fast

Beautiful video!!!

[@popov_eo]

Спасибо огромное за видео! Как всегда - великолепно! Но вот одного я только не понял: что происходит при реакции жидкого "влажного" кислорода с жидким хлором? Я пробовал - жидкости даже смешиваются с трудом. А у вас какая-то бурная реакция. Что это? Или это какие-то ошибки переводчика - нейронной сети (Ваш "птичий" язык я не понимаю...)?

Ohh yeah pyrophoric Ni i'd love to see that!! Just Raney nickel water suspension drying on paper sets said paper on fire, imagine pouring the dry stuff in liquid O2!

[@scotts.2624]

Hit the particles with oxygen sprayed from a plasma nozzle. The oxygen will be at a high state when it encounters the particles. Lots of energy present when the monoxide hits the metal.

[@jhonbus]

Awesome video! But man, I wouldn't fancy cleaning up all that lead afterwards!

Awesome video but I wonder how it would react with bromine

[@andyf4292]

wondering what other metals do the same thing?

[@853nova4]

I guess these reactions can happen are due to relative low autoignition temperature, I guess when you cool down with LN2, these reactions cannot start

​@@thenthtinkerer7635 yes, now I know exactly the effect he was writing about.

[@exzeltgaming]

Would something similar happen using lead oxalate?

You can do this with iron oxalate too, decomposing it to give pyrophoric iron, and not have to worry about where the lead pollution goes. (Admittedly, it does not have the yellow smoke.)

[@heroraven1337]
