YT2095 Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 so you mean to tell me, that you`ve know all of this, and never once thought to ask "HOW do I concentrate this to make a 70% soln?" http://www.growell.co.uk/index.php?f=itemdetl.php&p=1221 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boris_73 Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 sorry i thought it would have some major impurites and i still do beleave that and to concentrate it to 70% could you just boil it or would you have to distill it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilded Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 How pure does nitric acid have to be to be explosive grade? >90%? *remembers promising YT2095 not to mess with high explosives* Err... *runs off muttering about pine table disintegrating* Edit: *mutters also about posting in wrong threads* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boris_73 Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 it depends on what explosive you wish to make if its something like nitrocellulose or mercury fuliment then it has to be 70% if you want to make a high explosive like RDX or petn then it has to be about 98% Why?

YT2095 Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 it`s a sweet smell a bit similar to chlorine, but less harsh and much sweeter, really quite Clean and pleasant smelling in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5614 Posted September 18, 2004 Author Share Posted September 18, 2004 dont know, why dont you make some and find out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budullewraagh Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 i did make some chlorine peroxide once when i wasn't so experienced in chemistry. it was a sort of accident (wait, that had sodium hypochlorite in it??). i was looking carefully at my beaker when the reaction occurred, so i got a good breath of it in. of course, i jumped back. i ended up coughing for 2 minutes or so, followed by less frequent coughing and a bit of respiratory irritation. it could have been worse of course, but i didn't get pulmonary edema. both luckily and not so, i did this in my basement, where it is more or less dark, but has no ventilation. as a result, it was sketchy getting rid of the chlorine peroxide, but it did not detonate due to the lack of light. it diffused enough to not explode violently as it left the basement when i opened all the windows and doors in the house. i do not wish to make that again anytime soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5614 Posted September 19, 2004 Author Share Posted September 19, 2004 ah, that answers what another question i was thinking, but never actually said.... isnt breathing in all of these gasses a bit dangerous? but uh, i think we just had the answer!

budullewraagh Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 yes, yes it is. it was an accident i breathed in the chlorine peroxide, just so you know. i'm really careful not to hurt myself when doing lab work (perhaps too careful) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5614 Posted September 19, 2004 Author Share Posted September 19, 2004 but no matter how carefull you are accidents always happen.... like you breathing in the chlorine peroxide and pulkit told me about some guy who was playing with [it was either] sodium or potassium, cant remember, anyway, this guy was really carefull, but somehow a bit of Na or K got into his/her eye and they had to wear glasses for the rest of their lives moral: be carefull, but remember accidents happen to everyone.... you are not an exception!

budullewraagh Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 of course. if you go to unitednuclear and look for experiments they make you agree that you are experienced and will be careful. if you click the link that says you burn yourself when you light matches, they bring you to the disney site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budullewraagh Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 isn't it just? gotta love the site tho. sadly, they sell iodine for $20/oz, as mentioned above, which is really a sad thing considering i really want to work with nitrogen trihalides (in very minute quantities, mind you). oh well, i guess i'm off to buy some "tincture of iodine" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilded Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 Hmm... If you make nitrogen tri-iodide, it won't even explode if the iodine is >99,99%? Or was it the other way around? Horse hoof-ailment medicine is like 98% iodine, so if it's that way, it should work just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boris_73 Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 it has to be iodine crystals any way and iodine crystals are pure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
