This is my 60th video and it will be about interhalogen compound. I know you often ask to show ClF3, but it's too exotic even for this channel (at least for now, sorry).
So, today I will show you reactions with iodine trichloride ICl3
________________
Reaction timing:
1:58 ICl3 = ICl + Cl2 (ICl3 decomposition)
2:48 ICl3 + H2O (ICl3 hydrolysis)
3:20 ICl3 + KOH
3:48 I- + IO3- + H+
4:30 ICl3 + SnCl2
5:55 ICl3 + P
6:32 ICl3 + LiBH4
7:49 ICl3 + B10H14
9:18 ICl3 + N2H4*H2O

Let's open the ampoule, this must be done very-very carefully. Next frame: Ampoule smashed to bits :D

[@jhyland87]

Yep, I noticed that as well, lol.

[@mythics791]

life is still good

[@covodex516]

Well, you go try to open an old ampoule like this without smashing it. These didn't have an intended breaking point and had to be weakened with a saw or a dremel tool, like he does it here. This seldom works as intended, they are prone to crack completely in the process because the glass usually is way thicker than in breaking ampoules. But yes, it did look funny.

Love the peach colored flame when you reacted red phosphorus with the reagent. Another excellent video. Enjoyed. Well done.

[@mitchdarra6199]

Great reactions! You are truly the best chemistry program running on any media form. I appreciate how much you managed to get done with quality before you even had the support enough for a budget even slightly worthy of your experiments. Such great production value, my friend. Keep it up.

[@barthooghwerff1682]

Oh wow i love your channel soo much! It gives a whole new meaning to the words ''reaction channel" ;)

[@BothHands1]

wow, i don't think i've ever seen two solids react so quickly just in the presence of each other. i'm assuming it's the sublimated iodine vapors that get the reaction started, causing it to heat up and melt, at which point the reaction starts cascading forward? just a guess, but i'm not sure. but really interesting to see two solids immediately react this violently on contact. fascinating

[@JoeA1974]

Oh Feliks I do so love the halogens. Thank you for another fantastic video.

[@revenevan11]

Another excellent soundtrack choice, my favorite reaction was the one at 3:45 where the elemental iodine was released, relatively simple, still excitingly violent but not too energetic, and beautifully colorful. The shot you included of the iodine vapor exiting the top of the tube was very artful! (The red phosphorus slo-mo shot is tied with this for my favorite! And the one after it at around 7:20)

[@Lazekillerwhale]

"Too exotic, for now" is a very nice way of saying "Shitballs terrifying, no thank you; I'd rather not inhale HF at 2000°C"

[@chrispza]

Thank you! your close-ups of the reactions are superb. When I looked up stannic chloride, Wikipedia said: "… When a bar of tin is bent, the so-called tin cry can be heard as a result of sliding tin crystals reforming; this trait is shared by indium, cadmium, and frozen mercury." Tin is commonly used, but is not often seen in isolation. However, if you-or Cody, for that matter-have mercury and liquid nitrogen, it would make an excellent short vijayo.

Ebay

[@TheExplosiveGuy]

@@fft2020 yeah there is a ton of stuff you can find on eBay, I've got a rather decent stock of chemical goodies through them, and prices are usually great. I wouldn't exactly buy on eBay if I was doing something critical though, you don't really have any guarantees on purity since a lot of the chems are produced in China, but for general fuckery in the garage, perfect.

[@Bert2368]

@@inanimateuser9828 Know? How exactly? Hobbyists can't buy from the major lab chemical supply houses, thanks to WOT and WOD. They don't have any way to enforce quality control on a supplier on the other side of the world, or in many cases, sufficient analytical equipment and knowledge to verify what they have received. A lot of us have to make do with OTC and synthesize/extract/purify a lot of our own reagents. Frankly, that is a large part of the fun. www.sciencemadness.org/whisper/forumdisplay.php?fid=5

@@guythat779 The thiosulphate ion in sodium thiosulphate reacts and reduces elemental iodine/bromine to iodide/bromine ions respectively which are colourless and significantly less visually appealing.

This channel must be very expensive to operate, given the amount of expensive chemicals you use and all that glassware that is destroyed in the process. It is really educational to be able to see these exotic compounds and how they react. I would like to see the properties of ozone and its compounds.

[@CATASTEROID934]

Depends really since more exotic substances tend not to get bought often and sit around aging until they've reached a level of impurity that renders them impractical to sell or use. Ozone's a bit of a weird one since it's too unstable to handle as liquid or solid (liquid and solid ozone has a tendency to spontaneously explode from what I'm told) but otherwise behaves like oxygen but much more angry
