It literally couldn't smoke enough probably the best demonstration for saturation, I ever seen. all around one of my favorite experiments. So glad I found this.

[@bluevortex7992]

Wow that part with mixing of aqueous ammonia and the resultant snowflakes really blew my mind! Excellent video a real one of a kind!

[@johnsheppard1476]

@@ChemicalForce do you know where to get osmium tetraoxide?I mean for as cheap as possible!It must have price of 12.8×0.75=9.6 US dollars per gram but it usually costs vastly more than that! Anyway I want to repeat my own experiment with obtaining the osmium blub from it by alumothermic method!And I also by the way have to warn you just in case that upon mixing it with magnesium powder it ignites spontaneously and that causes huge disaster!Because most of OsO4 immediately evaporates and due to the unbelievable heat of reaction osmium metal boils(!!!),and obviously re-forms the oxide!

[@TheExplosiveGuy]

That's a beautiful reaction, I really liked the way the titanium reacted in the chlorine. I love it when stable reactions like that occur, no spitting and farting all your chemicals out the top of the test tube. The plume of TiCl4 out the top was pretty. How easy is it to condense and collect that vapor? I imagine the reaction speed would have to be carefully controlled to manage the condensation rate...

[@nurithereddragon9223]

I have been working with TiCl4, over 1,5 years in total. Its an funny but very dangerous chemical. The company i worked for used it for glas coatings, together with other stuff such as HMDSO.

I have worked with this compound in an industry and it sucks to handle it, when it is kept open in moist air, it gives out HCl as chemforce pointed out, and forms a smokescreen

This stuff is like working with fogger fluid, it makes it kinda difficult to see what you're doing because everything gets surrounded in smoke, except this smoke is corrosive.

[@Alf_Pacino]

This was (minimally) used in a german WW2 glass grenade called Blendkorper, or Nebelflasche, used to blind vehicles, trenches, and interiors. production stopped because of the need for humidity in the air for it to work properly.

Can you supercool condense and pressurize to hold at standard temperature the stuff in the bottle that fumes with simple air contact? In military operations this could be great as it would smoke screen without a thermal blindspot I mean you could just have a chem grenade, but isn't that basically teargas and ergo a war crime to induce blindness with the teargas, or visa-versa Pyrophorics are tight.....

[@aorodrigo.1]

There are some articles that studies the use of TiCl4 in water treatment, and I'm kinda studying the mechanisms that happens when it's used in these colloidal suspensions. I live in Brazil and it is hard to find TiCl4 here.. and if I'll try to buy it the price is really expensive. So, can you tell me if it possible and viable to make solutions of TiCl4, since we can se how fuming it is? Do you know any article that specify other species formed when the reaction TiCl4 + H2O happens, besides TiOCl2 and HCl? Thank you so much for the video!!

[@TheBackyardChemist]

You may be able set up a synthesis with a source of dry chlorine, and Ti metal in a heated quartz (fused silica) tube. Then condense the output to get some crude TiCl4. If you really have to, you can distill the crude TiCl4 to purify it, if you have an airtight apparatus, very well dried and flushed with dry nitrogen gas.

[@jpolowin0]

If you're asking about *aqueous* solutions of TiCl4, no, that's impossible. Solutions in *dry* non-aqueous solvents are possible. It's necessary to dry them thoroughly, as TiCl4 will react instantly with any moisture present. In our lab, solvents were generally dried by refluxing over Na or K; occasionally other powerful drying agents, depending on the solvent. My gut feeling is that any other species would rapidly disproportionate to TiCl4, TiOCl2, and TiO2, but don't hold me to that.

[@andrewg.carvill4596]

When you reacted Titanium Tetrachloride with Sodium Borohydride, it was noticeable that the orange flames didn't produce any white fumes of Titanium Oxide as you'd expect from Titanium Hydride. Do you know what was actually burning in those flames?

[@BartzabelAlgol]

What would occur if you poured TiCl4 in Oleum??, Please let me know!!

[@tokajileo5928]

Ti was always strange for me. Most metal oxides when mixed with acid form a salt , TiO2 does not. I do not know any solution containing Ti4+ or Ti2+ except Titanium nitrate. I would like to see reactions of Titanium nitrate solution with different chemicals, what type of precipitates it makes, etc.

[@sijmenkroon5972]

Isnt TiO2 already a salt? Or did you mean ion when talking about Ti4+/Ti2+

[@jpolowin0]

A couple of former colleagues of mine worked with titanium compounds, researching things like substituted titanocenes. Once the glassware had accumulated a layer of TiO2 and other crud, it was a bloody pain to try to get clean again. Most other metals' salts could be shifted with conc. nitric acid, and organic grunge could be oxidized away with stuff like conc. H2SO4 + HNO3 + a few drops of alcohol (to get things going). The titanium-based crud just sat there.

[@XenXenOfficial]
