Your forearms? Those aren´t designated hitboxes and therefore don´t need to be protected seperately, you can leave them free. Because that´s how it works in real life.

[@just4deez]

To folks thinking this was a steam explosion: Notice how the other salts simply formed a steam bubble around itself through the Leidenfrost effect. Furthermore, putting a red hot nickel ball into water leads to the same outcome (steam blanket around the glowing red hot metal ball), with no explosion. The video also clearly shows a detonation instead of a steam explosion, where superheated water vaporizes (throughout the liquid) when the pressure drops (through failure of its containment vessel) To achieve these kind of detonations as observed in the video, you need the heated liquid stream to rapidly split itself apart into tiny fragments that can heat the surrounding water at a rate fast enough (the expansion of the liquid from this heating needs to be faster than the speed of shock wave propagation in the medium). This means that the liquid droplet needs to somehow obtain some amount of energy that can overcome its own surface tension and disperse itself into tiny droplets which further increases the interface area (a self-propagating, exponential process). The main way this is done is through charge. Supposedly, the Cl- ions can react with the supercritical H2O at the superheated water-salt interface to form HCl and Na+, OH-. The superior mobility of protons in water rapidly neutralizes the OH- at this interface, leading to the fast accumulation of Na+ in the molten salt itself. This charge buildup can eventually overcome the surface tension of the salt, leading to the droplet ripping itself apart. The act of the droplet ripping itself apart will further increase the salt-water interface. Eventually the salt-water mixture turns into steam and we see the detonation in this video. I might be wrong with some of the details but I think some form of charge accumulation in the salt overcoming surface tension should be the main cause.

Your example is correct, a vapour film is formed around the fuel and this expands so fast like a wave and generates the explosion. Thanks for the video! I will use it for my volcanology lectures!

You're right when assuming a physical reaction. Molten Sodium-Chloride got's the right mixture of heat capacity, less surface tension and not too much heat conductivity to instantly form a cover of steam around it when divided by the first steam explosion. Instead there where formed a lot of small salt drops who where divided again instead of instantly form the protecting steam bubble around.

[@angrydalek]

Congratulations, you’ve figured out the science behind depth charges.

[@bansoma]

As a chemist I can shed some light on the reaction. First, you are correct that this reaction isn't chemical in nature. The key differences between the substances are their solubility in water, and also their thermal conductivity. The NA-CL (Sodium Chloride) is highly soluble in water, dissolving NA-CL in water is also quite endothermic and comes with a higher osmotic pressure. This means that the NA-CL distributes through the water faster than the other substances. Once the NA-CL is distributed in the water it causes the water to boil and expand. If you watch the video again you can see the other substances in a clump with the boiling water vapor in a shell around them. They boil the water before they spread through the water. Thermal conductivity is loosely defined as the rate at which a substance can heat its surroundings. If you were to increase the thermal conductivity of the NA-CL it would also boil the water before it could spread.

[@93Russki]

[@GINOLR]

+Carl Myhre mmmmmmhh yes yes, i know some of these words

[@iamsaitaman1770]

1-When you drop molten sodium chloride into water unlike sodium (which is lighter than water) it sinks in (it is heavier than water). 2- The super hot ball of molten salt flash vaporizes the water. A thin vapor film separates the water and hot surface and temporarily the situation is stable. 3- The molten salt is not like liquid tin and does not have great surface tension so it makes a ball full of cracks and water gets inside some of the cracks. 4- The liquid water inside the crack flashes into the vapor and its volume suddenly expands by 1800 times. The local area around the crack inflates violently. 5- Since the rapid expansion of the outer molten salt surrounding the inflated crack is inside water and expanding faster than speed of sound in the water, it makes a supersonic shock wave. The shock wave in the water is the explosion or Big Bang. Thanks for a great question. I really had fun watching the video and other pictures of this experiment again and again. And you high school kids out there, DO NOT TRY THIS WITHOUT SUPERVISION. It looks really dangerous

[@imingzee]

I think the viscosity of the salt might be so low that the molten salt is almost frictionless as it goes into the water and I suppose it falls fast enought to make contact faster than the laden frost effect takes hold.

[@FadedCat3]

[@TubeYouGuru]

As in tip the crucible quickly to allow all its contents to exit at the same time, rather than pour it out in a slower stream as he tried the first 2 or 3 times.

[@johnchenky]

It's not a mystery! 1) NaCl is highly crystalline and has FCC lattice structure, whereas molten salt doesn't. 2) when poured into water, the molten NaCl quickly retains it's structure. This process releases heat suddenly. Sound is also an energy. 3) In that process the space gets compressed and hence vacuum is created. 4) The adjacent water molecules rushes to fill the gap (vacuum). However, the water molecules that comes in contact gets heated up and expand. 5) This collision between the molecules rushing to the centre and steam molecules rushing away from the centre cause the disturbance. Note: we don't notice this with other salts, as most of the salts are hydrated and are not highly crystalline like NaCl.

[@mauriciobob]

Try Me Crystalinity may justify in part the explosion. However solubility of NaCl is much higher than borax, so when NaCl is getting back to its crystal form(solid again) water penetrates between the particles and its heat generates water vapor that expands and explodes

[@johnchenky]

@@mauriciobob yes, but solubility is not instantaneous.

[@user-vc5to5ke6n]

What makes sense to me is that the temperature of molten salt is hot enough to convert some of the water straight to superheated steam (steam under pressure higher than atmospheric pressure). The sudden increase of pressure created the explosion. Fun fact is that one of the solar electric generation method uses concentrated sunlight to create molten salt, and then using molten salt to turn liquid water into superheated steam before it enters steam turbine.

[@xpump876]

In 1972 I worked at Elmira Heat Treat on upstate NY. They did various metals heat treatments to harden steel -My job as to dip 5 lawnmower blades in to a salt pot furnace for +20 seconds (incredibly hot-red/white melted salt) - move them to a special treated fire repressed oil bath to harden/cool them and then, after a set time to water bath for further cooling and then on to the drip-dry rack. One day I witnessed from +20 yards a co-worker grab from the wrong rack - the drip-dry rack of wet blades and when he dropped them in the pot pretty much all the melted salt instantly exploded out of the pot ...everywhere...he was lucky that he had protective gear on but there were serious burns on all exposed skin, upper arms and neck...I suspect he still has scars from it today

WHY EXPLODES: IT IS SIMPLE CHEMICAL REACTION..MOLTEN SALT IS VERY WATER SOLUBLE , AND ACTS THE SAME AS SULPHURIC ACID EXPLOSION. THATS WHY YOU DILUTE ACID WITH WATER , AND NOT WATER WITH ACID...GET IT NOW?!!

[@TheBackyardScientist]

+john carter no still don't get it, what's a sulphuric acid explosion?

[@frankieg6805]

+TheBackyardScientist Next time to be safer with the sodium, you can add a layer of oil on the top so that it takes time to sink past the oil and into the water. Stay safe bro, and thanks for the videos.

[@tejasupadhya3354]

+TheBackyardScientist captain here the explosion could be due to small atomic/ionic sizes of sodium and chlorine. this isn't the case for borax and sodium carbonate they have significantly larger anions which have a larger solvation enthalpy.

[@MrNicePotato]

+john carter lol a bunch of non sense you have. dissolving ions in water has nothing to do with chemical reactions... we dilute acid with water because we want to lower concentration of acid ions. We can kind of dilute water with acid if you want lower H2O concentration when you say dilute. do you get to go to school?

[@philipfahy3589]

+john carter Actually you add acid to water not vice versa. Adding water to acid creates a very concentrated acid solution. Acid solutions can have the tendency to release large amounts of heat when reacting, this can cause basically an explosion and highly concentrated acid solution splashback. If you add acid to water, the reaction is much more controlled, as the solution is mostly water.

[@toddisawsomeable]

I think I figured it out. It’s a runaway physical chain reaction. In the first explosion you can see the expansion start at the tail on top and travel down the salt stream into the blob. Somewhere on the tail there was enough turbulence to push the salt thru the leidenfrost forces into contact with the water causing the salt to rapidly dump its kinetic energy into the water, vaporizing it and causing it to expand. It expands into nearby salt and water causing more contact and more expansion which causes more contact and more expansion etc. When it reaches the blob on the bottom, which is storing a crapload of kinetic energy, the reaction breaks wild, dumping all that energy into the water very quickly, causing a massive steam explosion.

[@gibbogle]

There is no reaction. Heating water to steam is not a reaction.

[@toddisawsomeable]

@@gibbogle There is a physical reaction. A transfer of energy and a change in the matter state.

[@gibbogle]

@@toddisawsomeable Yes, I should have written "chemical reaction".

[@wimpieeeeee]

Perhaps the viscosity of the first salt is higher than the other salts, therefore it allows (more) water to get trapped in it and create axplosions?
