It would definitely be more likely to explode. 50g of it would not blow up a building though, and it would not leave people inside alive if it did. The crystals would also look nothing like they did in the show - you just can't make crystals of mercury fulminate that size (you'd get a few millimetres at best) and it's the wrong colour (closer to that powder's colour).

HF is actually a weak acid by definition and not as corrosive as strong acids such as Hydrochloric (HCl), however, corrosivity is the least hazardous aspect of HF. The toxicity of HF is the main concern. HF is absorbed through the skin quickly and is a severe systemic toxin.

At 17:15 into the video, the liquid in those bottles did not look like pure sulfuric acid. Concentrated sulfuric acid is very viscous. The thick (oil like) consistency is what gave sulfuric acid its other name, "oil of vitriol." Look it up. If they used pure sulfuric acid, the pig flesh would almost instantly turn into black carbon, because the acid rips out water from the compounds in the flesh, thus leaving mainly carbon. You would also need a whole lot more acid to dissolve that much pork.

Key to the fulminated mercury and other similar substances being too impact reactive is "screwing up" the process to create crystals (just don't, ever), not fine powder. They made it too perfectly.

@user-zf8ki1cx2w 7 күн бұрын

Having been a mineral and metallurgical assayer in my past life, I worked with various chemicals, however the one that needed total attention whilst handling is Hydrofluoric Acid used digest quartz, silicates and silicon metal (metalloid) and heated in special high temperature resistant teflon beakers. HF is the one acid that can be very fatal if handled without strict training and the use of proper PPE. As for the special sauce used with the Sulphuric (Sulfuric) H2SO4 acid bath, and if I heard correctly towards the end of the video the sauce is made up of H202 Hydrogen Peroxide which definitely got the violent super heated reaction going.

They disappointed me. When I saw the episode, I knew the reaction. These guys failed to reproduce the actual conditions. They set a tub on a wooden floor. They didn't make a point of it, but they had to seal the drain with something, The drain fitting is typically chrome plated brass. In either HF of "Super Sauce" the brass would have gone quickly. The acid+ would have leaked out of tub in the space formerly occupied by the drain fixture. The cellulose fibre in the wood would have resisted a bit. The floor would have busted through and the fully intact tub with mostlly intact body would have dropped.The Mercury Fulminate needed to be recrystallized, using a solvent mixture and a dark place to sit undisturbed.takes time to grow large crystals. They must have a good production budget. They don't skimp on things.

H2O2. Not in strong solution, like 8% or so. Stronger than most home, chemist buyable solutions but more than enough for this catalyst. Any stronger by solution and it could have been quite dangerous to add, causing immediate bubbling and splashing from the rigorous mix to the h2so4 but explosive in nature. Too, they almost certainly started with cooled acid and catalyst as room temperature would have caused problems. Hotter than ambient would be orders of magnitude more dangerous and require breathing apparatus.
