Years ago I worked with gold, dissolving it in Aqua Regia as part of a process. We had many reagent grade acids in carboys that were color coded for easy identification. For some ridiculous reason, the HCL and HFL were the same color. The process involved 19 liter spherical reaction flasks set into hemispherical heaters. You can see where this is going. I mistakenly made the acid mix with the wrong acid! And used the heater to speed up the reaction. A few minutes later I noticed that nothing was happening and since the reaction was usually instantaneous with a distinct color change I started to panic. So, stop, pump out the acid, rinse several times, and prepare to start over. When I examined the glass flask I found that the HFL had already eaten into it to the point where I had to trash it. Those flasks were expensive! I learned a valuable lesson.

The company is a lot bigger now and all of that has probably changed. As far as the acid situation, the color coding was from the supplier. Why on earth 2 acids whose name was only 2 letters different would have the same color code, especially since HFL is so dangerous to handle is a mystery. I always appreciate the feedback.

[Potassium explodes] Faraday: "Sometimes potassium does that. Let me get another piece and put it in the oven."

[@alexpotts6520]

This is speculation on my part, but I suspect the "pop" is due to some sort of redox between potassium and antimony. I know that pure potassium on its own can sometimes go off like when scraped around with a knife, especially if it's old or hasn't been stored properly, due to the build-up of highly oxidising peroxides and superoxides on the metal surface coming into contact with fresh metal. My knowledge of antimony chemistry is basically zero, but if it's anything like nitrogen then I'd expect the SbF6- to be a pretty strong oxidising agent. So perhaps something similar is happening here?

[@josephgauthier5018]

I remember seeing this used in reactions that we ran in the bulk labs and thinking what a strange name. I did once step into a bucket for of straight sulfuric I was using to clean a giant centrifuge after a reaction. There were 2 ways to clean the stainless centrifuge. One... good old fashion elbow grease and another was a solvent, base or acid depending on the product you spun. The acid was the most fun. The centrifuge would smoke and get hot and shine like a diamond in a goats ass after. I had a water hose in my hand and shoved it down my rubber boot. Foot tingled and got super hot. Mild burns and I no longer have hair in that foot. True story.very good company btw. Good pay for low level material handlers and the chemists make huge money.

Thanks for making rare, high quality footage of this acid and its reactions available to the world! What an awesome and scary video! Keep it up! I would like to mention, that the immediate damage is the least of your problems, when the acid gets in contact with the skin. The hydrogen fluoride formed on contact with the skin is able to diffuse into the skin and even the bones beneath it, destroying nerves and tissue on its way, which can even prevent pain to occur immediately. So, a burn can be unnoticed, until the skin, bones or a whole body part have to be removed. When a burn is detected early, calcium gluconate solution is immediately applied to prevent further damage or even death. When the pain occurs it can't be treated with the usual painkillers, which is another unpleasant side effect.

It likely wasn't cooked due to the heat, the colour change in cooking is from the denaturing of the proteins in the meat due to heat. The acid can denture the proteins in a similar way making the chicken appear cooked.
