The damage done also depends greatly on the lava you use. Silicate lava (the melted "lava rock") is generally the coolest ranging from 800C-900C. Whereas Ultramafic lava can be almost twice as hot, ranging from 1600C-2000C (hot enough to melt steel and vaporize a lot of materials). In addition fluoroantimonic acid, Carborane acid, or Magic acid would be much more effective.

[@Halvblodsprinsen100]

The problem with the «lava» is that for any thing that contains moisture it will gain a heat shield, in the form of vapor. The vapor becomes isolation. And with the amount of liquid in that is in meat, it gets a lot of shielding compared to the time it takes for the «lava» to cool. This is the reason that when we blacksmiths harden steel, we have to keep the material moving, as to have constant contact with the liquid, and not just get the the heat shield preventing hardening from happening.

[@endercrafter5104]

​@@niazjaffar7022I mean it's sorta hard to get large amounts of super acids? Plus having to film most of these in a plastic box wouldn't be interesting to watch. Also they dissolve metals even slower than normal acids so it wouldn't have helped. HCl is actually the best at dissolving metals out of any acid alone and even more so when mixed with nitric acid so I believe he did the option with the best possibility of working. I will say for the I pad he should have actually used a weaker acid like Hydrofluoricixed with hcl to dissolve the glass and the metal.

@@froggy878not all organic materials are made equally. The ether bonds of the cellulose will readily hydrolyze, but the issue arises when we talk about polymers. The thing that holds wood together is hydrogen bonds, so even if you end up breaking the polymers, it will still be a lot more resilient due to intermolecular forces. Metal will just readily undergo a redox reaction and chewing through smth without intermolecular forces will be easier than with.

I'm a little surprised Mark explained the science behind corrosion, but not the Leidenfrost Effect, which is the reason why the lava was so ineffective against the turkey leg and ice.

[@vvmvx]

what is the liedenfrost effect?

[@DarkFrozenDepths]

@@vvmvx basically, two things with enough of a temperature difference makes a barrier between them. It's why something like liquid nitrogen drops can slide across a floor, but also why some really hot things like molten metals don't instantly react with water or ice (lava is molten rock, but close enough)

[@leocurious9919]

@@DarkFrozenDepths The cold substance specifically needs to evaporate rapidly for that to happen. Not just random 2 things with different temperatures. You can mix liquid tin and liquid iron without any problem, despite easily 2'000 °C difference in temperature.

The one thing about acid I never knew until I was an adult is it doesn't "melt" stuff. It actually strips atoms away from the matter, more or less deconstructing rather than melt.

Great video, but what impressed me most was the the diamond which made a dent in an anvil. Science is really cool. Thanks, Mark, for making it so enjoyable to watch! ❤

[@gorak9000]

If you knew about Mohs hardness scale (or any other hardness scale for that matter), you wouldn't be impressed. Diamond is way harder than mild steel that that cheap anvil is made from. Of course it just makes a dent. The steel is much softer.

[@amberjo-lynn2410]

@@Romi969 the characteristic of how likely something is to shatter (fragility) and how hard something is are two completely seperate things. Diamonds shatter pretty quickly but are harder than almost everything else on the planet.
