Other dogs: “bark bark!!” Chemists’ dogs: *sound of interdimensional spaceship warming up*

Finally, this is going to be so much cheaper than bribing my dentist

I love how the only thing stopping him from producing a mass explosion is the legality of it

WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT HOW CUTE THE “BARK” AT 9:15 WAS??? The others were like “Bark.” Or “BŸÖRK” and this one was just a little puppy “YIP” AWWWW

1:55: bark 2:00:BYÖRK

"Ammonium nitrate is the cause of really bad industrial explosions" That's more relevant than ever now

I had spinal surgery for my scoliosis recently, and they used laughing gas to put me under. It was probably the closest to recreational drugs I’ve ever come. Like I turned my head to the right, then back to face forward, and the left half of my field of vision didn’t come back. Then every started to warp and before I knew it the surgery was over. 10/10 can totally see why people use it recreationally

I have a couple online friends I play games with and it's always interesting to listen to them do whipits because of the density of the gas. They always end up sounding like the Wish version of Darth Vader.

Video: Shows deadly explosion at 2:58 KZfaq Captions: [Music]

2:01 when you fart in class vs 9:16 when you fart alone

3:30 "Probably wouldn't" but I'm still waiting on the 800 ton scale version

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.

"gets its name from the "cool" sound it makes" **grad cylinder proceeds to open a portal to hell, releasing the screams of billions of souls encapsulated for all eternity**

When you watch a NileRed video and you are smart for 20 minutes but you forget it all.

I'd love to see you create a video all about endothermic reactions! These seem to be way less common than exothermic ones!

The whistles go (10:39)

“I was luckily able to buy some locally from a friend”. That sounds so sus, especially since we’re talking about a highly toxic compound 😂

NO2 make your car go vroom vroom too much nos make your car go boom boom

West Texas Fertilizer Company 2013: 30 tons of ammonium nitrate ~ Tianjin, China 2015: 800 tons of ammonium nitrate ~ Beirut, Lebanon 2020: 2.750 tons of ammonium nitrate

0:19 some people really like this feeling so its often used recreationally. funny way of saying getting high lol

Lmao I love the impression he gives on the “I probably wouldn’t do it on 800 ton scale.” Like there’s something that would make him do it

The girl at 3:02 souded very amused for being so close to that giant explosion 😅

Ordering any amount of ammonium nitrate when not in an occupation that requires it, will almost certainly end someone up on a watch list.

2:54 “God almighty damn” that is the most Texas thing I have ever heard.

10:20 that experiment is called "the confused dog" (thats the sound my dog makes when hes confused, coupled with the slight head tilt)

I had a student do a research project wherein he determined the ratio of hydrogen:oxygen based on the sound of the explosion. He used a FFT to analyze the sound and got good results.

Good for Niles to point out it's much cheaper and safer to just go buy it of you're looking to use n2o for recreational purposes. Probably saved a few life's and limbs with that mention. Bravo.

3:16 "I think we are dea-"

NileRed: Makes the sound of a dog barking 1:58 The sound of the the seven horns announcing the apocalypse.

i like how u explain it like a simple tutorial on youtube like we could actually do this as a "home-made" kids experiment

The way you talked while introducing squarespace at the beginning of the video made it sound like this was a NileGreen video, but I don't think NileGreen was even a channel yet when this video came out. I'm glad you've erm.. 'come out of your shell' a little more over the years. I'm surprised I haven't seen thia video before I thought it was new.

This man is like mumbo jumbo in the real world he’s like:it’s actually quite simple then gives a 10 min speech on how to make it

1:59 what kind of dog do you own? A fuccin' hell hound?!

+1 for linking Periodic Videos in the description

The real life disaster videos were absolutely terrifying, just watching this through a screen makes me want to cry

Imagine getting hit with laughing gas right before a funeral and your walking around laughing at a flickering light.

Sometimes I get concerned for his safety. And my brain tries to tell me "He's a chemist. He knows what he's doing" but I'm just concerned man.

Wow, that explosion was waaaay better than CGI!!!!!!!!

5:38 my brother saw the three necked flask and said "is that a bong or something" nice.

Also 3:15 you can hear both sheer terror and excitement in this girl’s voice. She doesn’t know how to react to the horror. That’s actually really scary.

Casually wanted Nile to inhale the gas just to hear him have a good laugh

Great video man love to see this experiment while feeling like I’m going along with you as well

Big fan here. I was present for the West Texas explosion, and I lost a couple friends in the explosion. Great video though, as always. I love your stuff

3:25 "I *Probably* wouldn't do it on an 800 ton scale"

2:43 I just realised that the explosion in Beirut was caused by ammonium nitrate.

thanks for the tutorial, will be coming in handy!

Also please do more barking dog when you have time 😁 love your content, nile!

2:10 Hey. I can do this my self. 2:50 NopeNopeNopeNopeNope

When he went to test the Nitrous yield, I half expected him to take a little huff from the balloon, smile, and say, "Yup. It's good."

The slow mo of the oscillating tube is amazing

5:14 Nile: it might look complicated but it’s actually quite simple. Me:😔

Bruh. I literally said you were lowkey instructing us how to make drugs last month. And now you are. I'm dead XD

I like how you took the time to add in footage of opening a shaken-up soda bottle

Big thanks back to you for the acknowledgment of the oscillation

the sound of the second and third attempt were awesome

"Hey! wanna try some marijuana?" "Naw, I'll stick with laughing gas for now."

"I probably wouldn't do it on an 800 ton scale" excuse me... "Probably"?

Wow that threw me back, I live in west and that explosion was loud AF

the sound it makes is so cool.

1:02 Great, now I badly want strawberries with whipped cream

Barking dog? Sounds more like a very angry fart.

This has given me inspiration to make some nerve gas. I ordered a fume mask and now I have to wait. Hehe

Periodic videos is simply good.

Watching him talk about the dangers of ammonium nitrate right after the Beirut explosion is quite nerve wrecking

10:18 that sound was freaking hilarious XD

You've just brought together car guys, chemists, and people who want to get high. Nicely done!!

damn it I could find all the needed things for that experiments but he got me at the complex tube system

NileRed: "It's much cheaper and easier to just buy some directly instead." KZfaq: "excuse me"

The roblox death sound experiment

The fact you say that you probably won’t do it in an 800 tonnes scale just goes to show this is the real dude we all know an love

Thanks, I learnt a lot through this video, seriously

I love the whole, "if you really want some, just buy it," comment. Don't blow yourself up trying to get high lmao

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.)

Two of my favorite science nerds Micheal and this nilered

You have balls of tungsten for this my man. After seeing those explosions I don't even want to go near that stuff.

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

2:51 That's not that bad... 2:53 Oh...

I had some at the dentist, and I am still getting some tripped up dreams

This is an excellent reaction to demonstrate the complex and perplexing redox chemistry of nitrogen compounds. Note that decomposition of ammonium nitrate is thermodynamically favoured, but not kinetically favoured, because measurably decomposes only with strong heating, but the exothermy shows the reaction is spontaneous. This is also due to mild acidity and reducing properties of ammonium. Sodium nitrate does not decompose like that. Instead in only partially and reversibly decomposes to nitrite, yet nitrites are more reactive than nitrates (ammonium nitrite notably decomposes at room temperature and explodes even on mild heating). While nitrates form nitric acid, nitrites don't even exist in acidic solution except as the unstable and reactive nitrous acid (compare with sulfurous and carbonic acids), which cannot be isolated and can be kept only for a while in cold solution. So contrary to popular belief, inorganic nitrates are fairly inert and both the reduction potential and reaction rate depend on pH, which both also depend on temperature. I guess the cooling is needed not only to avoid thermal runaway, but also to keep the unstable intermediates in solution (hydroxylamine, hydrazine, dinitrogen trioxide etc.). Note that nitrogen itself is relatively strong oxidizing agent (E0 = ~1 V) yet it is normally so inert it can often replace argon in lab experiments (and so is nitrous oxide - this is why it's used as a propulsion gas for whipped cream in place of carbon dioxide, which is acidic and thus too reactive toward fats). It would be great to demonstrate the redox couples and potentials involved in this reaction as well as conditions (namely pH) required to obtain nitrous oxide as a product (rather than nitrogen or its higher oxides). The rich chemistry of nitrogen is utilized by bacteria and this is why nitrates and nitrites occur in nature (see nitrification, nitritation, denitrification, annamox, connamox). Some bacteria oxidize ammonia to nitrogen in presence of nitrate - the oxidation of ammonia takes energy, but the reduction of nitrate produces even more energy, making the whole process net positive. Although the final product is nitrogen, it is believed that hydroxylamine is an intermediate in such metabolic process.

10:53 Jumping in an 80s-90s cartoon

Teacher : N2O Class : Laughing gas Me : NOS

Very thank you for this gide. Me really helped this

This is my favorite video of yours. The explosions may play a part....

Produces a nice bright blue-white flame, and a funny noise too... :P

11:00 sounds like a kid picking up a microphone and going "woop" into it at max volume and in his mouth

Best sqarespace ad I've seen so far.

3:17 i think we are dead

"it has to be heated carefully" Hmm... That's a blowtorch.

it's rlly interesting that 2 endothermic solutions on mixing can be so exothermic

every time nile paused while explaining how dangerous ammonium nitrate was i was positive he was about to explode

9:15 it REALLY sounds like you made a "BOOP!" with your voice

3:17 a really big bark btw

Thanks for this useful video

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.

I got nitrous oxide when I got my cavities filled and I _literally_ said “is this a dream?” And my dentist laughed at me

"It's actually quite simple" me getting flashbacks to mumbo jumbo.

oh great nile is gonna make it so if we watch his videos, laughing gas will fill our room

I saw the barking dog reaction in a chemistry show a couple years ago! Its loud as hell

2:01 sounds just like my little Shitzu

3:16 "I think we are dead in here" in the most monotone voice one could have in the situation
