Weird Chemical Reaction

pepsi_next · 2012-09-26T15:58:45+00:00

Chemical reaction via Youtube comments:

2Hg (SCN) 2 --> 2HgS + CS2 + C3N4

most of the solid product is C3N4 , puffed-up by gas bubbles. The gases come from CS2, which reacts with oxygen in the air using all that heat, like this:

CS2 + 3O2 → CO2 + 2SO2

those two products are both gases, and evolve even more heat seen by the faint flames

Quality prank material there.

Step 1: Place large quantity of substance on neighbour's doorstep

Step 2 : Ignite

Step 3 : Run away into nearby bushes

Step 4 : Watch reaction of neighbour as the gates of hell open before his very eyes.

*Edit I just realized that I forgot to include ringing the doorbell. Oops.

DeadHunter · 2012-09-26T19:41:12+00:00

It is called "Cthulhium".

gbkamel · 2012-09-26T21:09:24+00:00

Pow Insta-bud!

unidentified_skippy · 2012-09-26T17:38:07+00:00

I got a weird tingly feeling while watching this, I'm rather concerned.

oldeskoolj · 2012-09-26T19:37:51+00:00

Does this remind anyone else of the alien stuff in that movie Evolution? When the fire makes it expand super fast?

Teddster · 2012-09-26T20:21:45+00:00

Oh god, kill it with fi-nevermind...

arcsine · 2012-09-26T20:18:57+00:00

Black snake fireworks were pretty commonplace when I was a kid.

BEgirl69 · 2012-09-26T18:14:12+00:00

This is the shit of nightmares.

Scoldering · 2012-09-26T19:17:05+00:00

How much does that stuff cost? It'd be fun to erect a 10ft tall wall of the stuff sometime.

SigmaDraconisIV · 2012-09-26T19:07:41+00:00

For a moment, i thought I was on /r/popping

PabbleDabble · 2012-09-26T21:31:13+00:00

I feel like a Japanese schoolgirl is about to get thrown in the tank...

Spindax · 2012-09-26T19:37:59+00:00

Oh, I actually thought I was in /r/chemistry until I noticed the very unserious comments.

Silvercelt · 2012-09-26T19:51:23+00:00

Would someone please Explain Like I'm Five, what is going on? Thanks!

peekoooz · 2012-09-26T20:20:18+00:00

Why is this happening in what appears to be a terrarium of some sort?

pwnyoface · 2012-09-26T21:14:53+00:00

what is this magical substance?

FruitBeef · 2012-09-26T21:19:10+00:00

Wow it's really cool how you made a gif of the video that was posted 7 hours before this.

TomatomanXD · 2012-09-26T21:30:57+00:00

I honestly thought it was under water.

Biohazmat · 2012-09-26T21:31:36+00:00

CamWin · 2012-09-26T21:42:11+00:00

Satan is a plant. Lovely.

canarack · 2012-09-26T21:54:40+00:00

I find it weirder that they're doing this in a desert themed tank. Were they trying to grow a pet taranchula?

Matimoo · 2012-09-26T22:04:12+00:00

WHAT HAS SCIENCE DONE?!

Consequence6 · 2012-09-26T22:07:07+00:00

This was scary as fuck.

I want to see this in a graveyard as a prank.

highgravitycane · 2012-09-26T22:07:58+00:00

Nightmares.

Magnora · 2012-09-26T22:08:32+00:00

Dat structure.

I_Jackoff_Twice · 2012-09-26T22:11:01+00:00

That's not a chemical reaction, that's C'thulu.

TheFriskyLion · 2012-09-26T22:11:17+00:00

Chemistry bitch!!

peas_in_a_can_pie · 2012-09-26T22:12:36+00:00

That's the most disgusting thing I've ever seen

huntercunning · 2012-09-26T22:20:06+00:00

Yeah science! Bitch!

loulan · 2012-09-26T22:21:57+00:00

But why are there rocks and cacti around?

Empyrean_Man · 2012-09-26T22:34:25+00:00

ALL HAIL CTHULU!!

Lumiep · 2012-09-26T22:42:02+00:00

Apparently burning cocaine gives you weed

cspek · 2012-09-26T22:44:24+00:00

DarkTemplar26 · 2012-09-26T23:18:26+00:00

I was about to say my usual reaction to evil incarnate with "OMG KILL IT WITH FIRE" but now I'm at a loss since that would only make me even deader

wowlagmaster · 2012-09-26T23:20:47+00:00

they need to find a way to make the thing it makes flammable so it sets its self on fire than the ash makes the same substance so it ends up being a never ending process of it creating its self and destroying its self

Ben_Franklins_Godson · 2012-09-26T23:23:51+00:00

Cthulu awakens

anotherlandguy · 2012-09-26T23:28:02+00:00

narfpoit · 2012-09-26T23:30:58+00:00

I find this incredibly disturbing and I'm not sure why...

JayLow270 · 2012-09-26T23:32:02+00:00

I've seen a documentary about that shit.

The Darwins: Evolution

Imnolongerlurking · 2012-09-26T23:35:29+00:00

Thanks for not naming it "SCIENCE!"

voltriuc · 2012-09-26T23:35:58+00:00

this looks like it would be one bad ass way for a boss in a video game to enter a room.

dadrumma · 2012-09-26T23:39:08+00:00

THANK YOU FOR SHORTENING THIS INTO A SPED-UP GIF.

i now dub you Sir pepsi_next.

DJWhiteRussian · 2012-09-27T00:40:19+00:00

And then Jesus turned water into wine and cocaine into marijuana

rasta_lion · 2012-09-27T00:42:53+00:00

I expected Cthulhu to submerge from the underworld

mattrubik · 2012-09-27T00:43:43+00:00

Why am I suddenly hungry?

coco12345789 · 2012-09-27T00:43:49+00:00

I'm pretty sure this is the same stuff the use in snakes (like the ones u get on fourth of July)

whodiopolis · 2012-09-27T01:02:14+00:00

It is called the Pharaoh's snake. According to this video it is "Mercury(II) thiocyanate decomposition is initiated by heating."

Sonums · 2012-09-27T01:05:30+00:00

DAFUQ

playaplayadog · 2012-09-27T01:08:10+00:00

massaikosis · 2012-09-27T01:16:37+00:00

it turns cocaine into cthulu!

cesiumtea · 2012-09-27T01:28:29+00:00

If you think this is weird, you have not studied chemistry very hard!

(Pour sulfuric acid on sugar for a slightly less dangerous, much cheaper, stinkier version of this reaction)

Epoworker · 2012-09-27T01:52:08+00:00

WHO DARES AWAKEN ME FROM MY SLUMBER?

Just wondering , can I smoke that?

RetinaMisfire · 2012-09-27T03:15:52+00:00

That probably smelled sooo bad.

roopn · 2012-09-27T03:17:29+00:00

This makes me very uncomfortable for some reason.

HobKing · 2012-09-27T03:19:28+00:00

Totally thought it was gonna turn into a monster a la that cellphone-in-the-microwave gif.

Bierce_Bash · 2012-09-27T03:20:48+00:00

More like ritual summoning of Yog-sothoth.

TurmanAteHer · 2012-09-27T04:10:08+00:00

fuck me. i saw this on live leak mounts ago. I'll never get any karma.

slumberday · 2012-09-27T04:14:51+00:00

It's a bit of Cthulu

Killa1279 · 2012-09-27T04:22:03+00:00

Post this on /r/chemicalreactiongifs and get all the upvotes.

I saw this in biology class 2 days ago. It sounds like a rattle snake. Quite impressive and scary actually.

0illuminati0 · 2012-09-26T17:15:22+00:00

Wait.. you telling me that if you burn the ground trees start growing out of it?... Guess that explains why the tree go away when you burn them.

Perhaps this is where the beanstalk part of Jack and the Beanstalk came from.
