Nitrating sugar and developing toxic Nitrogen Dioxide

[@MCinO11]

well the sweetner (erythritol) can be nitrated too to give ETN :)

[@DrSteve660]

Why no safety goggles?

[@TakronRust]

@marcuspinson The sugar will nitrate into Sucrosoctanitrate, it'll resemble highly flammable and explosive play dough.

[@meesteranderson389]

You guys realize that could have exploded right? A sucrose octanitrate runaway probably isn't too dangerous compared to say a glycerin nitration runaway, but still it detonates from shock quite easily and has a very low ignition temperature, when it comes to nitrations there is a reason they an call out of control reaction a runaway, because when it happens you better literally run away if you value your life.

[@marcuspinson]

what happens if you combine nitric acid, sulfuric acid, and sugar

[@diapysik]

what happened to the sugar try lighting it on fire

[@intangibleminds]

Poop Indeed.

[@marcuspinson]

@TakronRust yikes that sounds unstable

[@dzdice]

You've got to go slow on the suger INTO the acid, not the other way around... if you can control the temperature i belive you'll get something explosive out of that..! :) What a waste of acid... :)

[@marcuspinson]

@TakronRust wait nevermind confused the name with something else

[@cannagorilla]

that was interesting
