I noticed that some of the sound is missing. More than 4 times a word like “isn’t“ or some other word didn’t pass over into the video. Please don’t be confused. I’ll get a new mic soon. I also have a close up pic of the silicon mirror on my Instagram: instagram.com/thyzoyd?

Thanks for the great video! If you do any more experiments with Silane it would be interesting to see it burning in a CO2 atmosphere.

Sure if I do it again I’m even going to condense some of it for an ampoule.

I suppose arsine, phospine etc could be made in same fashion. I really enjoy seeing these reactions this was a definite first. Thanks 😊

I’m definetely not going to make arsine at this time being though.

I was blown away with your successful Silane experiment. Smart to not synthesize Arsine. Scares me worse that Ketene.

I wonder how hot does silane burn? If you used a welding nozzle with pure oxygen and silane in perfect proportions.
@markharder3676 Жыл бұрын
What about germane and stannane? How are they prepared? Are they more pyrophoric than silane? A comparable video about one or more of them would be interesting. Thanks for this. Very interesting. Oxidation of silane of the purity used in electronics is a way of making extremely pure silica. This in turn can be melted in crucibles of platinum or similar unreactive metals to make extremely transparent glasses that are used in UV optics.

Magnesium silicide is produced via the reaction of Magnesium metal with very pure SiO2.
@THYZOID2 жыл бұрын
The reaction produces MgO too. With elemental silicon the magnesium silicide will have a higher purity

You should try ampouling liquefied silane (although I don't know the vapor pressure, so it might be a bit dangerous, and you'd need to flush it with argon or some inert gas so it doesn't ignite)
@THYZOID2 жыл бұрын
Have to get liquid nitrogen before we can do that. But after ampouling H2S we’re gonna work our way all the way down to gasses with lower and lower boiling points.

Why does Silane ignite by itself?
@THYZOID Жыл бұрын
the silicon hydrogen bonds are not as strong as a carbon hydrogen bond like in methane. this makes silane very reactive

@@THYZOID Thanks,the equation for the reaction is very similar to methane with oxygen but with silicon rather than carbon atoms
