Soda Can In Hydrochloric Acid

A FULL Mountain Dew Can was placed in Hydrochloric Acid.
5/12/2017, it's sad this is my most popular video, hahaha, really, it's bad, stop watching it.
Thanks!!!!

[@rusty1996]

Mountain dew dissolved the acid

[@AssistantLeaflet]

rusty no the carbonic acid should have increased the ph to 1, unless of course the HCL was very dilute. which I think it was because if it was at the average 30% it would take bout 40 seconds to react and dissolve the aluminium chloride almost entirely.

Gideon Lass well aren’t you a smarty pants

[@mywifetookthekids1923]

Gideon Lass its a joke mate

[@ygen_dhwiener88]

This would happen if you swallowed a can.

[@danielnoneya9111]

a paper plate ain't gonna help the spill XD

[@kyrendebrags2124]

that's what I was thinking

[@SkinsFirstGeneration]

yeah, the acid's gonna go straight through it. And I think the same will happen to the table underneath it if he doesnt clean it.

[@PlatinumEagleStudios]

If you look closely, he is actually using two paper plates on top each other

[@NOVA-ev4sl]

the acid wont burn through paper

[@Nothing-yi2gp]

it will and over a certain length of time it would go through the table to

[@bobsaget2762]

And that's how you open a soda can

[@TheMguillory24]

stop crumbling cellophane on top of the mic. PLEASE

[@SimplyChem32]

+TheMguillory24 My favorite type of cellophane to crumble, are those little wrappers from the jolly ranchers. I buy them in bulk and jump on a big pile of them when I record. :)

[@ianalexander92]

+SimplyChem ROFL!

[@lorennicholls5788]

SimplyChem LOL!

[@silent_anon404]

Agreed. It was so annoying.

[@TheEvill99]

[@Superseaslug]

the real question is which is more acidic? (DISCLAIMER: I'M JOOOOKING)

[@johncobainc.garcia1587]

Nope not enough budget

[@otchkabotch]

HCl has a tremendous effect on tripods as well!

[@Freeman666Gordon]

I didn't know cans have acid-resistant cover.

[@SimplyChem32]

Yup! A thin sheet of plastic on the inside of every can. Probably to keep your drink from inheriting the taste of aluminium.

[@iaincowell9747]

That & also acids in the drink would also corrode the can.

[@DJDeezyThaTruth]

--Oh my, lets hope the acid isnt that powerful. But would make a nice experiment. If possible, might take a Year+ to see any reaction I suppose.

[@lieutenantdan8541]

Almost all aluminum that has touched oxygen has a protective oxide layer that helps protect it

[@Shaheen_Hassan]

@@andrewcheng1998 The Aluminium ion itself has low toxicity but some salts of Aluminium ion like Aluminium halides are very toxic but many salts like Aluminium sulfate and Aluminium nitrate are safe.

[@mossy1s]

I honestly thought you were going to ruin that lovely table. learned something. Thanks.

[@Enigmaprince]

I like your description text. You are really good at selling your video to your audience

[@TonyBMan]

mid-way through this video I suddenly looked at the background of the shot and thought, "Hydrochloric acid...nature...is this Heisenberg's backyard?" XDDDDD

[@kylemoore2446]

1:26 YOU HAD ONE FUCKING JOB!!!

[@JerichoPride]

Can you provide insight into what caused combustion? Was it a reaction with the metal or the soda? Or was it simply the carbonation dispersing after the acid dissolved enough of the bottom the same way it "pops" when you open it? Thanks!

[@ichhabegenug7865]

Title of video should be "Can of Mountain Dew placed into a beaker of Mountain Dew."

[@1012films]

This video should be renamed "How to open a stubborn soda can without breaking a nail."

[@frizzelltube9033]

If you put a Mountain Dew can in a béquer of hydrochloric acid, a lot of scientific stuff happens.

[@squito94]

That hummingbird almost got killed by that acid bomb! You can hear it at the end of the video.

[@madsjensen76]

And that's how Mountain Dew was made.

[@nn0673]

should put the molarity in description

[@MarvelousSquad]

kids in Africa could've drank that acid

[@fragileforce47]

That's a shit joke btw. :)

Kid could have ate that joke to but it's to old now.

[@SimonTonekham]

Really like this vid! The exploding can is really the climax of this video! I wonder if you would do this same experiment - but this time in a can of cola!

[@misclicksry3694]

Its scary to think that this stuff is in our stomachs...

[@ahaz2104]

Hydrochloric acid reacts to glass though. So is the beaker plastic?

[@echosource3102]

and this kids is why mtn dew never gets drinked

[@quintinealom6845]

it's insane knowing we have this in our stomach

[@thedoge2131]

Hey first off, nice video!!!, secondly, I am doing a project for my chemistry class, and we are supposed to "simulate" the stomach acids, do I need to dilute the hydrochloric acid for the project or not? Thanks again!!!

[@aidanm.1683]

Ok so this was literally a comment from four years ago, but I am pretty sure you could most likely put diluted hcl for safety purposes and specified it in your project. Hope you did well on that project, from when you were still in high school lmao.

[@PixxelTrixx]

Did you drink it after?

[@hili467]

anyone else think it's hilarious that's he's using hydrochloric acid to eat up an aluminum can, but that he's using paper plates as a catch tray? >_>

[@turnert235]

Should have thrown a mentos in there.

[@scruffsbycartoonfish2301]

Looney Libtard are you insane?! Imagine the crater!

[@SimplyChem32]

+The Doge from www.livestrong.com/article/538024-what-is-the-molarity-of-stomach-acid/ Secretion and Dilution The cells responsible for producing the HCl in your stomach are the parietal cells, and the solution they secrete has a concentration of 160 millimoles per liter -- in other words, 0.16 moles per liter, corresponding to a pH of 0.8. In the stomach, however, the solution becomes diluted to a pH between 1 and 2, which corresponds to a hydrochloric acid concentration between 0.1 and 0.01 moles per liter. So Yes. :]

[@klatplos9093]

ok

[@hexit7777]

SimplyChem 1 year and only 2 likes smh

[@zoranailic7153]

What is the molarity of HCl used?

[@jasonironliongreen]

Thanks for sharing,im currently setting up an experiment on using HCL acid on the root system of poison ivy and Johnson grass rhizomes.

[@roygbiv3305]

do the teachers show this kind of experiments there in the u.s?

[@carsonmatt87]

Did you drink it afterward?

[@somefool6409]

Kids in MLG could have drunk that Mountain Dew. PS Why did the paint not dissolve?

[@maxrielz2340]

Because the Paint is green illuminati is green Paint=Illuminati

[@ursulasantiago4870]

Baa haa!!!

[@Peztllence]

Acid uses chemical reactions to dissolve substances. Ink won't respond to the acid.

[@whitest__dad]

" and now we observe what happens when you eat soda cans"

[@SPECTRE_Madman]

how do he get hydrochloric acid

[@chipham6355]

Really like this vid Can you please tell me why the can exploded and why the liquid in the cup is yellow after the experience? I don't know how to explain it. Thanks for your help. :)))))))))

[@SimplyChem32]

+Chi Phạm Well, the can exploded because the acid was *ever so slowly* dissolving the can, and the internal pressure of the carbonation was too great for the weakened aluminum can to bear. The liquid was yellow, because that's simply the color of Mountain Dew :)

[@Noah-ne9jq]

it's hard to believe this is in our stomach

[@kevinkim5102]

-sad air horn plays-

[@1234nicklim]

whats the concentration of this ?

[@essr-csgogambling8434]

How much % has the Acid?

[@SPECTRE_Madman]

hydrochloric acid has fluorine and it's the most radioactive substance known to man

[@juwariyahsyed1114]

Ok this is the concentration

[@kirstena8901]

Does anyone know what with hydrochloric acid would make a purple?!

[@GigiTC]

Who else wanted Mountain Dew right after this video?

[@filiplaskovski9993]

So that's what will happen if I eat a can?

[@njprincesszoe4360]

Where'd it burst?

[@GoHerping]

So apparently 0.5% of the stuff in fracking fluid is made up of this. @SimplyChem, I may make a video on this in the future. Would you be OK with me using a few snippets of this video for a video about fracking? I'd give your channel credit to the clips that belong to you. Thanks in advanced if you see this :)

[@SimplyChem32]

+NC Nature News Go ahead! By all means. I'm glad if you can find some use in my crap video :D

[@OnimeDoobs]

MOUNTAIN DEW IS THE BEST SODA EVER MADE

[@ThatTempesTGuy]

WHAT IS THE LOUD SOUND NEAR THE MICROPHONE, DID U LISTEN TO THIS BEFORE YOU UPLOADED IT???

[@jamesnw]

Bottoms up!

[@cheekibreeki5268]

You now have a Nice party beverage.

[@The1707regina]

ill never eat a full unopened soda can...lesson learned

[@Swanlord05]

The dew put the fuzzing out..... Loll

[@RilevTV]

Mountain Dew, 4:20 for the burst... definitely #mlg

[@pastmistakes524]

4:24 Jesus that scared the hell out me.

[@defaultcode1]

What was the concentration of this HCl?

[@xavierborgas4425]

+customacz Daiki 33%

[@warrenpamment]

wow it is funny the can split there as there is no join, that is all one piece right up to the lid

[@ithepatrick]

why am I watching this? I have homework to do!

[@rurie7499]

Drinking Mountain Dew while watching a video never felt so scary 😳

[@maddhi4494]

cool

[@SadBulldog]

Noooooo! Not The Dew!

[@johnlocke2026]

Also a way to open the can. Cheers!

[@isabellewilliams9692]

why did it explode? is that what would happen if wee swallowed some tin? Why did it take so long?

[@SimplyChem32]

+Isabelle Williams Well, I wouldn't say it EXPLODED, but any jolt was simply the result of the pressure in the can. If we swallowed tin? The reaction wouldn't be nearly as vigorous, given the difference in concentration between the acids. Why'd it take so long? Because I was a dingus, and I didn't use a high enough concentration of acid.

[@itsTHEFIREDOG]

Boom and thats how you make diet mountain dew

[@DucatiQueen]

Bottoms up ;-)

[@DoesMahBlockLookBig]

W H O D R A N K M Y M T N D E W

[@qazmatron]

You could have livened things up by igniting that hydrogen. You must have shaken that can to pressurize it that it popped so hard when the metal failed.

[@kysonreber2658]

1:26 rip

[@spectrox9569]

If only the can became a rocket

[@Darpinion]

Having difficulty keeping a stationary camera stationary?

[@SimplyChem32]

+Ed Bowman Maybe...

[@linuslin2718]

Is there any precipitate? According to the equation, there should be, right?

[@SimplyChem32]

+Linus Lin Yup! Aluminum Chloride

[@linuslin2718]

I reckon that the precipitate should be aluminium hydroxide because aluminium chloride is a soluble salt.

[@soulplexis]

And here's how they make Mountain Dew voltage

[@jsabourin8593]

yay science

[@SPECTRE_Madman]

hydrochloric acid is a 3 on the acidity scale but there is a thing called fluoroantimonic acid which is -25

[@freddymuggs3902]

Mountain Dew can also put out fires.

[@lovebigbootie69]

At least you didn't waste a beer on doing this! Fuck Mountain Dew!

[@Strongest876]

Is hydrochloric acid is stomach acid

[@thzzzt]

Whoa, I bet that Mountain Dew is pretty sour now, huh?

[@ektaparekh5370]

from where did you get HCL

[@SimplyChem32]

+EKTA PAREKH Our local Home Depot. But nearly any hardware store will do.

[@another90daystochangethis34]

Cool, I'm gonna go eat some foil and soda cans!

[@ruthlessjones8220]

At 1:29 I thought it exploded 😂😂

[@derekvalenti9365]

Nope, it was just this moron doesn't know how to keep a camera steady

[@chintoooon5295]

Children in Africa could have drunk that

[@SimplyChem32]

+Ian Chin Toon - Hypothetically, yes. But I cant imagine it would be too beneficial. ;)

[@akidfromafrica9363]

Yes I wanted to drink it!!!

[@SwithinFeely]

holy shit

[@divyaprabha7021]

Um so why did it have that little explosion in the end? Was it pressure inside the can or something?

[@noahdingess3814]

+Divya Prabha Yes.

[@divyaprabha7021]

Noah Dingess ok thank you

[@ss11111ss]

the exothermic reaction causes the particles in the can to vibrate so due to increased energy the can exploded

[@greygxd]

Fact: this acid is in our stomach

[@mywifetookthekids1923]

Can opener life hack

[@enigmax79]

now drink the Dew...for science!

[@michaelf7760]

children in America could of drunk that soda, oh wait.

[@DJDeezyThaTruth]

--That made me thirsty.

[@hydrochloricacid834]

That's me :D

is this like stomic acid?

[@SimplyChem32]
