For this video, I am going to be making some laughing gas, aka nitrous oxide. Then, I'll be using it to carry out the classic Barking Dog experiment. To make it, I'll be using the safer method, which uses sodium nitrite and hydroxylamine hydrochloride. The typical industrial process, using ammonium nitrate, can be quite dangerous.
This video has been a long time coming and I am glad that I could finally release it. I have been promising people this forever!

I’m a chemist and love watching Nile explain reactions. He does it very thoroughly. The downside of being a chemist is that non-chemists ask 1 of 2 questions. Can I make illicit substances and/or can I make booms. Those are dumb questions that get old after years so I just tell them I’m not that good of a chemist.
That's lame, there's so many fun reactions like the one in this video or the ones with the color changing liquids, I'd be more interested in those
In the good old days, good chemists made it their doctorate to synthesise mescaline for example, you must be very stuck up. :))

It's dangerous stuff, to be sure, but the reason Beirut was such a disaster is them having an absolutely absurd amount of it. Even when someone's building a relatively small car bomb, we're talking about like a hundred pounds.
Wow that threw me back, I live in west and that explosion was loud AF
Wow, that explosion was waaaay better than CGI!!!!!!!!
I like how he put in the disclosure for people just wanting to "whip-it"out at 4:08. ("Whip-it(s)" is a slang term for recreational use of nitrous oxide, in case you were wondering.)
I've seen this reaction a number of times, but 10:17 has got to be the funniest result from it I've ever seen/heard. No wonder they call it laughing gas
N2O in cars is not as much used as an oxidizer, but to cool down the air fuel mixture hard, which gives move air in the mix. The increase in oxygen through the larger amount of air makes it possible to use more fuel and give more power. It would work with anything that cools down the mixture to the same levels, and doesn't kill the flame.
You've just brought together car guys, chemists, and people who want to get high. Nicely done!!

Carbon disulphide is a real pain if you need to use it as a solvent in a reaction, unless the reaction vessel is sealed. You do it in a fume cupboard, of course, but the stuff has such a low flash point that you can still ignite the vapour if you're using a magnetic stirrer (well, an old-fashioned one from 40 years ago anyway!), and once it's lit, you have quite a job to put it out again. Cover the beaker and it goes out, but remove the cover too soon and it almost immediately lights again, the walls of the beaker are warm enough to ignite it once any oxygen gets in there. It's much worse than diethyl ether (yes, I've seen an ether fire as well).
