[@chadb9270]

My uncle used to manage a chemical mixing house. While giving me a tour asked him what the scariest thing there was. He pointed at the 55 gallon drums of hydrogen fluoride above our heads. He said it was perfectly safe in the double lined plastic containers. But if it ever hit the ground, it would eat straight through the concrete and they would have to evacuate a large area.

[@Mr.Nichan]

Why would they store it on the ceiling, or was it just stacked high on shelves or something? (Actually, now I think about it, shelves sound more dangerous, since it implies they aren't permanently fastened there.)

[@chadb9270]

@Mr.Nichan industrial 3 tiered Steel racking. They were on the second shelf so just overhead height. You would be amazed at what is considered safe storage. Once in awhile he would end up with a gallon or so of 98% acetic acid, or super strong vinegar. I would thin it out and use it as organic weed killer.

[@BigBoy4004]

Some 20 years ago I imported and sold tons and tons of WF6 to the European semiconductor industry. Even for me as a trained inorganic Fluorine chemist it was always a massive challenge to train the non-chemist process engineers about the dangers and reactivity of the process chemicals and gases they were dealing with on a daily basis. Now, I would just show them this video - it would have made my life so much easier... 😂😂😂 Great job, well done!!

HF Vapour💀 We need a video about his setup/ safety measures!

[@notsam498]

I'm gonna guess he is in a proper lab outfitted for these kinds of chemicals. Nothing he ever shows is jank. The containers are proper and he always has nice glassware. He is working in a fine hood for sure. I'm gonna guess though he must be in full head to toe ppe for some of this stuff.... Well for some of it he better be. Hf vapor is bad, but some of the other stuff he's played with is possibly worse. Osmium tetroxide comes to mind.

[@anthonywilliams7052]

We used HF at a CRT factory, the people there had to wear full suits with gas masks or SCUBA gear. It was used to clean the CRT surface by EATING a small layer of the glass! Really dangerous stuff. I heard it ate the concrete floor too.

[@notsam498]

@@anthonywilliams7052 yep it will react with concrete. The stuff is so bad because it's toxic and it likes to vaporize. HF is a savage toxin.

[@fireandcopper]

5:13 magnesium flouride, and just fine tungsten dust that's already hot that also reacts with the oxygen, I don't know for sure though, I stopped playing with chemicals as a teen after an unexpected chlorine reaction. I wanted manganese chloride, I had manganese dioxide from zinc carbon batteries and some HCl. Needless to say It didn't go well, so I left chemistry as a hobby to professionals a decade ago.

For 5:30 we could predict formation of magnefium fluoride: WF6 + Mg ----> MgF2 + WO6 + H2, because HF reacts with Mg-metal to make the fluoride and hydrogen gas. I don't know what effect the WO6 will have though. There could be a reaction with the tungstic acid formed in-situ, and maybe we would get some complexed adduct later on.
