4 ways to make fire without matches by using chemistry
Tip: Highlight text to annotate itX
Greetings fellow nerds.
In this video we're going to show you four ways to make fire
without matches using chemistry.
First, a small mount of potassium permanganate is mixed with glycerin.
The reaction might be too slow to do anything
so we added a few drops of water to get things going.
There we go, fire with potassium permanganate and glycerine.
Second, a mixture of ammonium nitrate and zinc is place ontop of a paper towel.
The finer the ingredients are the better this will work.
To activate it a few drops of hydrochloric acid are added.
The slanted towel messed this up but it will still burn.
And that's fire using ammonium nitrate, zinc and hydrochloric acid.
Third, a piece of tissue is soaked in acetone to make it more flammable.
Then a drop of sulfuric acid is drawn into a pipette
and the pipette is dipped in potassium permanganate to pick up some crystals.
Then the sulfuric acid is squeezed out
causing it to mix with permanganate and form manganese heptoxide
that instantly sets the tissue on fire.
Fourth, Sodium chlorate and sugar are thoroughly mixed and placed onto a tray.
To activate the mixture sulfuric acid is added until it ignites.
