Yeah that part of the video dissuaded me from synthesizing the chemical just for funzies but now I'm revisiting the idea because of what @tehs3raph1m said.

this is an utter failure on KZbins behalf. your previous video was excellent in showing the consequences of not using extreme caution while working with chemicals even if we have used them in the past. to take away the monetization on the video for doing so is simply absurd.

[@andersjjensen]

Watched the entire thing out of spite. Being uncareful and ending up in the E.R. should NOT be age restricted. In fact that's PRECISELY the kind of video young aspiring nerds should watch. How I managed to survive age 10-18 is a mystery to me, as I was book-smart enough to be really fckn dangerous (and blew up several "items" in the neighbourhood) but I had no realistic understanding of just how dangerous those things can be. I joined the army at 18 and oh boy... oh BOY did I realise that my 12 year old self belonged on a terror watchlist.

[@barcodenosebleed5485]

This just enrages me so much and reminds me of someone from my youth. I was in elementary school at the time and this boy from my neighborhood was about 5 years older. He was widely admired, known as super smart. Basically had the reputation of like George Washington at school. Well, one day he was playing with some explosives and eliminated a few fingers. He was completely distraught over the incident. He had big plans, including the military and eventually wanted to be an FBI agent. He saw his dreams vanishing and assumed his life was over because of the incident and unfortunately in that anguish decided to make that a certainty. Even good, smart kids are going to mess around with stuff they have no business with. Better that they have more versus less information. YT couldn't care less about common sense. They see a risk for liability so they mitigate it.

[@davidcovington901]

So KZbin dislikes your video that showed a possible DANGER of handling POCl3 ??? That's so backwards. Meanwhile, as you say early on, this chemical is used to create Organophosphates from alcohols. That got my attention. Organophosphates are what nerve gases and many insecticides are. So I was hoping that no alcohols in any amount or form were present during your reactions, especially when you had excessive lacrimation (one sign of nerve agent exposure, but of much else also, of course). Maybe it was from from HCl vapors? Glad you are better!

Iron pipe threads need a lubricant to fully tighten. Without something to reduce friction the tapered threads get tight before they become sealed..

[@tye331]

A few problems with pipe in relation to sealing is that it's a tapered thread. It creates a conical leak path without a proper thread sealant like PTFE which would more than likely burn at 500ish° f, also common SCH40 pipe is malleable iron, you can get 304 or 316 stainless fittings and pipe, however they are fairly expensive.

in powder reactions there is something to be said about grain size - pretty sure fine particles would react easier than various sizes you get from a home blender (apart from water contamination and OTHER contaminations in table salt). Also - for your own safety - it is better to use ceramics for burning reactions, as they tend to be a little more resiliant to temperature shock and a little less explosive than glass.

As well as tons of other small app user interface annoyances. All of them trend to get sorted out within a week or two. (the "read more" one occurred within a couple hours heh) Lately I think they've been overwhelmed though, as the comments system is in shambles, and has been for a couple months. I see they are trying (I comment alot lol), but it's kinda just getting worse... 😅 However, all of these things are unrelated to POLICY stuff... You pretty much won't see any movement on use grievance with policies, but I *_still_* suggest sending a scathing Feedback about it. 😏 Eventually, as more of us convey we're pissed off, they'll budge a little bit. 🤏

The visual you used when talking about "ordinary table salt" was a picture of a Morton Salt container, that stated it was not the salt with iodine added (which is the most common type sold), but I'm curious if you knew that the table salt from Morton Salt without iodine added, still isn't pure sodium chloride salt. There are trace amounts of a few other elemental compounds that are added to help prevent the salt from clumping into a single, solid mass if it's exposed to a large amount of moisture.

[@LabCoatz_Science]

Yes, I knew. However, the tiny amount of calcium silicate added to prevent clumping shouldn't really do anything to the reaction.

Phosphoryl chloride (aka Phosphorus oxychloride, POCl3, or "pocl") does indeed react vigorously with water. I was once using it as a reagent, following a procedure from an oldish paper. The work-up procedure described washing the reaction mixture with water and sodium bicarbonate solution. As I added it to water, it was spitting and splashing a lot, so I had the clever idea of using ice instead of water. I added one chip of ice to the reaction mixture, and it went "whoosh", depositing my reaction mixture on the lab ceiling and forming a cloud of HCl gas. Most chemists have had to do a "bench extraction" at some point. Some have even had to do a "floor extraction". That was the only time I've ever done a ceiling extraction, though. Oh, by the way, your lithal looks awful. It's supposed to be grey, not white. I have a suspicion that your sample got exposed to water somehow and formed aluminium hydroxide.
