Oh and would Nitrogen Trichloride form just by mixing the gases or from the combustion of the 2?

well if they don't combust, and you keep adding Cl2 then NCl3 will form. But I would suspect NH2Cl and NHCl2 would also form as Cl2 concentration increases. I doubt it will combust but give it a try, and be careful.

Nitrogen trichloride is a very volatile, highly explosive, nauseating, powerful tear gas liquid. I've never tried to form it by combining the two gases, though I've made it before several times.

I was considering using NCl3 for a demonstration for the video project, but I think the compound is too hazardous.

I would be cautious about trying this combination because it could end in an explosion. NCl3 is not the kind of compound that ignites, but explodes only.

@Formatik

Ill that that into consideration when doing this, ill try and be as far back as possible when i try and proform this... i have some ideas already on how im going to do it... so the production of either gas is done on its own while im far back incase of a explosion

Chlorine and Hydrogen... in a plastic bag and take a picture of it with a camera with flash on... very quick explosion (light is produced from the heat probly a bit of fire)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjbRH6bSIIw&feature=relat...

could this be included or dont explosive reactions work?

Too explosive, we want flames that could be used to start a fire easily. Good find though, that was pretty interesting!

You already have a video of chlorine and acetylene, this one isn't any different. The interesting thing is the fire is initiated by light.


Burning hydrogen in a chlorine atmosphere would also be really cool

Well that's interesting spam!

But I have been meaning to come back here and write something for a few days...

The thread has been silent for a while, so I wanted to see how everyone who was in progress with something was doing. That would be Chemistry Alchemist, TheNakLaB, barley81, and woelen (see the chart on the last page). Of course there is no time limit but I feel that with those videos completed we would have enough to make a rough draft of the video. Just checking in :)

I know sparks aren't an exciting way to make fire, but this one is kind of a big spark for being fairly simple. Instead of rubbing two sticks together or smacking rocks against each other, it's rubbing a few paper towels over some PVC. And there are so many variables you can play with.

I found I needed a longer charging rod because getting shocked while charging the device is kind of attention getting. ha

@hkparker,
I have not made any fire yet. School takes up a lot of my time. I will try, but I cannot do any chemistry (physically unable) until around Thanksgiving. Then I will have enough time. I'm thinking of chromyl chloride and sulfur (maybe plastic, gooey sulfur might make fire?). In regard to the quicklime/wet fuel experiment, my Ca(OH)<sub>2</sub> all turned into CaCO<sub>3</sub> and cannot be converted to quicklime with my blowtorch and a crucible. I'll try to get some quicklime from my teacher and see if it works with wet alkyl nitrites with added acid sometime.

Ok. Like I said there is no hurry, just wanted to keep updated. My tries with sulfur and chroyl chloride were never very successful, but good luck! I never tried the other allotrope.

Its fine, I downloaded it from youtube and took out the beginning and end. The slow motion looks good with it, its perfect for the video.

Alright awesome. I made heaps of Iron Oxalate that I can turn to Pyrophoric Iron. What other things should I combust with it?

Try anything you think will work well, so long as its safe. Acetone maybe. Nitrocellulose would be cool if you have some.

Alright awesome. I'll get back to you when I've filmed some other videos on it. How many videos do you have now for the second episode?

16. but make as many as you want, once people have seen the reaction fully once I can quickly show it with a variety of other flammables.

Last video (which, at 13 minutes, we don't need to be as long as) had 24 videos.

A few more KClO3 with various fuels if interested. Glycerin, ibuprofen, carbon. No flame on carbon, loud popping though.

Thanks Bot! I'll add them to the list.

@Chemistry Alchemist Don't worry about it, no one is required to submit at all. We will post the video whenever we all decide we have enough, which should be relatively soon, hopefully I can get to editing a final draft in about a month. I will wait for you to give that experiment a try. A few other people have said they are working on things as well.
