Lithium Batteries Dropped in Water! TKOR Exploding Lithium Battery Experiment!

Today we're trying something a little different. We're going to show you what happens when you place lithium in water all in one continuous take! This lithium battery experiment was so fun and easy! King Of Random loved every moment of it! This is perfect for those wanting to know about battery explosions, battery experiments, battery life, lithium battery explosion, what’s inside a battery, exploding battery test, dangerous experiments, lithium battery explosion, burning batteries, and more!
If you want to try something new and creative or an activity such as: DIY battery test, science experiment, explosions, fire experiments...watch the video to learn more. This is a perfect weekend project guaranteed to give you loads of fun!

In addition to the EXTREME HEAT given off by Li-Ion Battery combustion, the HYDROFLOURIC ACID (HF) released can ETCH GLASS. So that might explain the glass damage.

[@DheeraVenkatraman]

Li + H2O ... Where the heck does the fluorine come from

[@TheWolfman112]

@@DheeraVenkatraman Most tap water in the US(at least that comes from a central water plant and not for example a well) has trace amounts of Sodium fluoride added to promote dental health in consumers.

[@fat_pigeon]

These are metallic lithium batteries, not Li-ion. They probably contain little if any fluorine. Hot alkali (formed by reaction of Li with water) can also etch glass, which seems more likely.

[@polishnope5609]

@@TheWolfman112 lithium would then displace sodium becuse it is more reactive so nothing interesting would happen other than formation of Lithium fluoride,the heat was so intense that it started destroying the glass when the color changed to orange it was becuse it was pulling Na+ ions from the glass so it would probably damage it a lot

[@thrasher9898]

You don't get HF from this reaction. You do get LiOH which is the weakest of the strong alkali bases. The etching probably comes from the lithium hydroxide dissolving an extremely small percentage of the glass. Studies show that strong alkali metal bases can react quite well with glass, so it should be quite plausible that the LiOH was reacting with the glass. Definitely some experiment ideas i want to test now.

[@Iustusian]

You could try the same with sodium - it produces a bit faster reaction, and if you drop small enough bit in, it glides over the water really fast - thanks to leidenfrost effect. You might even be able to get your hands on kalium (pottasium) for even faster reaction, although I would recommend dropping that one from a stick, as it might throw sparks of burning metal around. Fun thing is to make a paper ship and put any of these metals into it - a delayed Michael-Bay-style Titanic!

[@triciar7464]

Great idea, leaving the torch within inches of the lithium burning in the bowl.

[@DuoGlassix]

I'd guess that more accurately what happened is that the flames got hot enough to cause the glass to chip away in the area with the divot, which then spread around the bowl in a crack. I'm not sure which brand of bowl you used there but it looks like how pyrex might chip, although pyrex would completely shatter from my experience.

[@WarlandWriter]

"Do something with ferrofluid" That's really specific. But all cynicism aside, some cool things you could do with ferrofluid You could try heating it up very strongly, preferably to above the melting point of iron. Another thing would be to see how it reacts to very strong electric currents. Furthermore, you could try exposing it to a vacuum, or to extreme cold. I think especially the one with strong electric currents would be interesting, as an electric current induces a magnetic field around it, to which the ferrofluid would in turn react. Heating it up would probably just evaporate the carrier fluid, turning the ferrofluid into a big lump of magnetized iron, and supercooling most likely freezes the carrier fluid, which leaves you with a solid superparamagnet, rather than a liquid one. I see hardly any reason why a vacuum would affect the ferrofluid in any way.

[@tyjarvis5707]

Lithium actually looooves water Bc of the oxygen in it. Lithium is an alkali metal meaning that it has 1 valence electron, so it just needs to get rid of that one electron to become stable, while the oxygen has 7 valence electrons, so it only needs 1 more for a full shell. Because of the amounts of valence electrons in each shell, they mainly react with each other because they fit each others needs.
