I have never seen any germanium chemistry! Really fascinating!

I never fully appreciated how many different chemicals and variants of chemicals there are in existence until I discovered your videos!

[@darewin3847]

You'd be even more baffled to know that in a drug development process, scientists start with billions of molecules/compounds. Then using computational techniques we shortlist only 10 to 12 out of them and then further shortlist 1 or 2 molecules for human trial (this is because we cannot test many drugs as the process is highly expensive)

I also think sulfate acts as the oxidant, but the red color suggests the Ge product is different from GeO2. Maybe Ge sulfate?

Very nice! I have never seen any chemistry done with germanium. The reaction with the sulfuric acid might look like this: GeI4 + 4 H2SO4 ---> Ge(SO4)2 + 2 I2 + 2 SO2 + 4 H2O It could be the usual oxidation of a halogen with sulfuric acid, but you have to consider the germanium(IV) ion. I don't know, if it keeps its oxidation state or is even stable with sulfate as the anion.

[@spiderdude2099]

This was very close to my proposed guess, the critical thing is though, does the sulfuric acid get reduced to SO2 or H2S?

[@tokajileo5928]

@@spiderdude2099 SO2

[@spiderdude2099]

@@tokajileo5928 do you know that? Because iodide can easily reduce sulfuric acid to hydrogen sulfide for other iodides. It passes through SO2 as an intermediate, but many iodides do not stop at the SO2 step

[@djmangouste2266]

@@spiderdude2099 concerning the equation, SO2 is the right molecule, the oxidation states match, balanced etc... It could still react until H2S, but you'd need other equations for that :)

[@spiderdude2099]

@@djmangouste2266 the way I understand it is that the reaction produces H2S but passes through SO2 as an intermediate. For example, NaI + H2SO4 = Na2SO4 + I2 + H2S + H2O. The other reactions cancel out for this overall equation. The first step technically is NaI + H2SO4 = NaHSO4 + HI + H2O, but the HI reacts with sulfuric acid or sodium bisulfate to produce I2 H2S and water, could easily be what is happening with the GeI4. You’d need to test the gas experimentally to be sure

Germanium is such an interesting element It's become a basic building block in electronics, surpassing silicon in some applications. I can't wait to see what new discoveries will come from it's use! Apparently for instance, a silicon-germanium alloy was used in some James Webb telescope electronics, because integrated circuits made from the alloy demonstrate better performance in space conditions...

The addition of the chemical to the water is causing some very interesting changes in the density of the water , density lens effect is easy to see in this video.

Probably because of the different HCl densities in the water.

Transistors were made of germanium back around 1960. Germanium diodes have a forward voltage of 0.2v whereas with silicon it is 0.7 v. As technology continued to develop silicon replaced germanium.

Here’s my guess, I suppose you can confirm for me from smell, or lead test strips whether the rxn released hydrogen sulfide gas. If it does, here is the proposed equation. If it instead produces sulfur dioxide, the second equation would follow. Either way, the identity of the gas produced would have to be determined experimentally. If you could let me know, chemicalforce, which you found that'd be great. It should be one of these two equations. GeI4 + H2SO4 = Ge(SO4) + H2S + I2 + H2O GeI4 + H2SO4 = Ge(SO4) + SO2 + I2 + H2O Also, someone please balance these, I can’t be bothered.
