Rest in peace to all the animated characters that suffered a horrible fate.

4:27 when I was a kid, if I was in the local woods, woodland area, there was a flower called a Blue Bottle, if you picked this flower and then held it near a red ant nest, sometimes they would shoot their acid at the blue flower and it would turn the petals Pink!! Was pretty cool!

Love love love your way of making video's. No shockfactor or nasty images, perfect pass, dry humour, great imagery and educating topics. Really like your content.

At my previous workplace, a stainless steel manufacturing plant, they had a vertical tank with HF in it (hydrofluoric acid). I was ordered by my boss to calibrate the radar sensor that was on top of the tank to measure the level of fluid in the tank and he said to not even set a foot on the top of the tank. If the top was brittle enough due to corrosion, I would fall in and suffocate before I would be at the bottom of the tank and dissolve completely, not even leaving bones behind. But the tank had a small leak. In the center of the top, there was a small pipe to release gases and prevent gas buildup in the tank and a vent above it to suck away the vapors. A very thin plume of smoke got away from the ventilation system and when I got close (2m away or so), my breathing just stopped. I just couldn't inhale and had to get away further to be able to breath again. My boss told me, if I were able to inhale that stuff, my lungs would burn and I'd die. I had to cover my mouth to be able to get close enough to connect my laptop to it, back off and configure the sensor from a few meters away. Quite nasty stuff and that wasn't even a strong acid.

Your frying pan suit isn't useless. . . just very very VERY situational.

I’m happy to say that I’ve been watching you guys for years now. I love your videos! I’m happy you guys are still thriving

I'm disappointed he didn't even use the opportunity to call Formic acid an ant-acid... I'll see myself out now

the only problem I have with this clip is in the beginning when it refers to the Pka as a "rate". Its not a rate, but the logarithm of the ratio of products concentrations and the acid concentration, which are produced instantaneously. No where in the calculation of Pka does it mention a time unit.

please make a sequel with bases. i have a family with a massive scar from a base chemical burn so id love to learn about some of those on the other end of the acid/base spectrum

10:59 The ship that exploded in Halifax harbor was the mont-blanc and it exploded 20 minutes after it collided with the SS Emo.

WOW I love this channel - I cannot believe how highly entertaining you make your videos and presented in a way we can understand, with all those visuals, it must take you a long time to edit those videos and render those - I hope you are earning good money from your channel you truly deserve it - this is pure gold for content - keep up the good work, you had me subscribed from the first video I saw back then, no regrets, this channel deserve more subs and views, presentation = perfection, narration, everything, I wish education in school was as fun :P I took chemistry in school, I would have loved a teacher like that, although ours was entertaining too, but not like this, we worked with chemicals and acids and experiments, sulfuric acid is even used in common household products including drain cleaners, and to be honest I don't understand why these are not banned, and why people are still using this toxic product down their pipes :D

Please keep up the content. I find these so informative and appropriate that I let my kids watch them when they come across it!

As a former chronic kidney stone sufferer, let me tell you that peeing it out is the easiest part of the process. The most painful part by far is pushing a stone the size of an appleseed down a tube the size of a strand of spaghetti, from the kidney to the bladder. The pain is often so bad I wish I could bash myself unconcious unless I have strong painkillers on hand which I usually did. Even then it only cuts down the pain, it dosen't eliminate it. Once it pops into the bladder, the pain is over and passing it out is easy. Though it feels VERY strange passing out, it's not really painful. (Unless you have the bad luck to have one that is both large and covered with blade-like crystals of oxalate which I have had only one time, and it sucked. Peed blood with that one.)

Bro im AMAZED on how much content you create, Well done!

I was surprised that Aqua Regia was not mentioned, considering it can dissolve gold, which is resistent to things like nitric and hydrochloric acid.

I absolutely love your videos their so entertaining and educational I just love the be amazed character there is always a new topic good job

For me its about how he makes learning a pleasant venture with his good use of words and ocassional jokes. Now thats good content delivery

Damn This guy is a legend. I first watched this channel in 2017 but for some reason I almost forgot about this channel. A few days ago KZfaq recommended me . Thanks KZfaq for reminding me

Excellent video! Thanks for the guided tour through the world of acids.

I honestly do not understand how you can make EVERY topic hella entertaining! I'm AMAZED every time xD

Be Amazed, do you have merchandise I could buy? You're KZfaq channel is awesome!

Been watching you since 2017, Interesting to hear this from you because you give More Information. Great Video!

You have a good voice and delivery for narration. Your program is quite informative.

Love the fact that this guy creates interesting content from animated demos and pictures. 💕

I knew I had heard of acids that explode at the slightest touch, I just couldn't remember which ones

you have to admire the way they illustrate the compounds with those images. even if you are very young its easy for you to make sense of it. very educative and entertaining. keep it up

I love how the super acids are created from mixing other, weaker, acids

If there is something you don’t know but you want to know then this guy has got your back👍👍👍

Even though number 1 is locked up it's frightening to think of what someone can do with it! Most of these could be used for scary things.

3:33 that really caught me off guard 😂

I agree, keep making videos. They're very interesting. Side note. One about Draino and knockoffs because I live in a ghetto apartment and destroyed a coupling to one of my drains by using lye/sodium hydroxide.

the acidic strength in terms of pka doesn't tell the whole story when it comes to corrosiveness. Sometimes the ion formed when the acid donates its proton can also participate in corrosive reactions, so when an acid is technically weak in terms of pka it can be extremely dangerous anyway. (like HydroFluoric acid)

24:10 Best line said in this video! 😅 Teflon is amazing indestructible stuff! With exception of really high temperature, this stuff resists everything! Which is why in LABs we do use PE or PP containers because they're cheap, but mostly only glass and if necessary or we're unsure, teflon! Another department used nylon syringe filters for an analysis. They had unplausible results and asked for help. Found out that half of the analytes got stuck in the nylon filters. Wouldn't have happened with teflon, but to be sure I told them to centrifuge instead of filter. Gave perfect and plausible (recovery experiments were done) results 😊 So if you work in a lab, remember to always centrifuge if you need to clear up suspensions. If not possible, rather use teflon or PVDF filters than nylon, cellulose acetate etc. 👌

19:09 30 years ago I was helping remove the business sense of a bunch of fume hoods at a chemistry building in East Lansing. Some of these handled perchloric acid and we were told to be very careful around these and not touch them until they were properly cleaned. Apparently, someone had hit something very similar with a chisel and ended up going right through his head due to the explosion. This is not something to mess around with

10:30 "What the gift" Famous words

That gallium spoon isn't dissolving, it's MELTING. (in hot water probably) As if it were made of ice. That's because of gallium's low melting point. (which is below body temp, you could slowly melt that spoon in your hand)

That was a great video. Lots of laughs & useful information. Thank you for sharing. Good job. 👍🇬🇧

Awesome videos!!! Now here's something I dont mind the kids watching 2 much of. Informative and entertaining!!👍👍

At 17:55 the audio means to say "a scientist left some in a capped bottle in his LAB" but it SOUNDS like "in his LAP" and the captioning supports that. So when it explodes, that creates a vastly different mental picture! Maybe needs to be edited a bit. LOL A great video, however!

23:55 just as fluorine reacts intensely, it also keeps that bond and doesn’t let go

That was terrifying can we do bases next?

Years ago we had hydroflouric acid in our high school chem lab. It was stored in paraffine bottles. We also had bottles of mercury that we used to coat coins and otherwise mess with. This was in the middle '50s.

As usual, this was very interesting and refreshed my chemistry knowledge. Thank you!! 😊

bro so no wonder i feel so much pain when my stomach forces the acid up my throat it feels like its tearing each layer of flesh one by one it hurts 😢

True story. I was working in an electronics plant many years ago when there was a scheduled shutdown for work being done in the plating room. As the workers were removing the raised floor, they discovered an unopened glass bottle of nitric acid, which had been there for many years. The seal was still intact, but there was only about 2/3 of it left. The building was evacuated, the fire department notified, and haz-mat teams were sent. The acid was properly disposed of and all was well. Scared the living hell out of people that were there, but no one thankfully were injured.

As counterintuitive as this might seem, sulfuric acid can also be used as a lubricant to lubricate the joints and fittings in laboratory distillation equipment containing nitric acid as normal lubricating grease can’t be used because the nitric acid being produced will just happily eat right through it and cause leaks which can be dangerous as nitric acid apparently decomposes into nitrogen dioxide gas (which is apparently horribly toxic) upon exposure to any type of light, and I learned that from NileRed.

Crazy story. Years ago I use to be a meth cook so we would use sulfuric acid all the time along with other dangerous chemicals. Because I got high myself and didn't care much about my health I never used gloves or face masks. So between being up for over a week, high on meth and all the fumes from cooking meth I didn't realize when I had poured the sulfuric acid into the jar, that some had got on the side of the jar. Now keep in mind it was just me and my wife in the middle of the woods at 300 o'clock in the morning. When I picked that jar up to due the last process off cooking called smoking off. (To explain it quickly you just mix the acid with regular table salt connect 2 jars with approximately 6 to 8 feet of hose with one jar having the acid and salt mix and the other jar having your "cooked ingredients " when the two mix together it creates a smoke which in turn makes the meth crystalize.) But either way when I touched that jar I had got some on my hand not realizing it probably because my hands were so calloused at the time and my brain was fried I didn't feel it until I had to go to the bathroom. Yes it wasn't until after I was done I realized I got some on my pecker and let me tell you there was nothing I could do to neutralize the acid but pour baking soda on my private part. Washing it with water would of only made it worse and calling 911 was not an option obviously. So I was there and screamed while it felt like my shot was falling off but Finally the baking soda did its job and it stopped. At the time I did have a huge hole in my pocket look liked a piranha cook a bite out the side of it. But thank God it healed up good. And today unless I point out the scar woman don't even notice it. Lol. Ohh I had one hell of a rough life. Incase ppl wonder what made me stop doing meth was when I had my first tooth break. I always swore to my self ill never have meth mouth and I don't. This day I still haven't touched meth or cooked in it almost 3 years. Now I just order my drugs like fentanyl, shroom, and xylazine off the dark web. Love you guys. That's my story.

I use some of the weaker ones on this list regularly at work.... always good to remind yourself how dangerous they actually are every once in a while

During WWI a lot of people got sickened and died from eating rhubarb leaves out of poverty and desperation. Those have loads of oxalic acid. It grows all over here in Michigan, and I've been eating it since I was a wee sprout, but father and grandfather told me to only eat the stalk, never the leaves. It doesn't take much, far less than spinach, to put one up into a bad way. The stalks though, delicious. Assuming you like the taste of sour.

Thank you so much this really help "solve" my problem's

Gotta give them a bonus. The way they narrate, edit, and even put info's like this together... Top notch. And that's not even mentioning how they post 3-4 videos per week 😲.

1:15 it's puss in boots from shrek!

Yeah, that stuff is what I used to drive around in a truck for a couple of years. Including loading and unloading. It is being transported across the world all day, every day. Most people just aren't aware of what material they are driving next to, and what truck they're brake checking. And they do that a lot !!!

2:01 One use of uric acid is for leather tanning. It's one of the common chemicals used.

10:22 fun fact your stomach acid has a play level form 3.5 to 1.5

12:35 I want to correct something. That nitric acid in your video was azeotope nitric acid which quickly dissolve your hand but there's another concentration of nitric acid which is fuming nitric acid.fuming nitric acid chemical property is different, for example. Nitric acid you memtion in the video can dissolve a coin and flesh but fuming nitric acid won't be able to dissolve a coin because pure nitric acid can't dissolve copper(ll)nitrate and the coin will not be dissolve and for your flesh,your finger will not dissolve straight away,and one more property of fuming nitric acid is that it's an extremly strong oxidixer that use rocket

i dealt with muatic acid a lot on the farm, we used to to clean tools and such. and yeah you don't want to breathe it, you get your face above the container and accidently take a deep breath and it does burn!

@1:22. “What actually is the difference between a STROOOOONNG and a weak ass-“ bro I died 💀

Wow I never knew my country had one of the strongest acids good to know

"Which acid terrified you the most?" "My wife"

7:15 Gallium is not particularly reactive. However, it does have a rather low melting point of 86⁰F (30⁰C), so it will melt in warm water, which is almost certainly what is being demonstrated.

im not quite sure but sulfuric might be combined with sugar in a small firework called magic worms and the reaction showed reminded me of them

Imagine the drop from the most powerfull acid lands on you and you start melting from inside-out and then exploding

Great video! One correction, however: At 1:38 it states that when acid dissolves in water, bubbles of hydrogen are formed. This is not true. Hydrogen ions are not the same as hydrogen gas.

Love it so much sorry that I haven't come to this video yet It's really great content You should make more a part 2 or if you already have one Make a part 3! it's really great Okay?

Your videos help me pass my science tests :)

What about Lysergic acid diethylamide. Pretty strong to my mind.

amazing video

Thanks for helping me make my shopping list! :)

In my appranticesip at the Technical University of Vienna my trainer had me make oxalic acid vaporizers. Then I came into the workshop with noone there just to see a white mist in the air. I screamed to my fellow apprentice "don't breathe that in" and we ran outside... Yepp, that was oxalic acid vapor.

Thanks for the info. what about AQUA REGIA? "Regal water"...

I want some of those for absolutely no reason 😀

Will you be considering doing a strongest base/alkaline video as a complimentary video?

Hope you have an awesome Thanksgiving Be Amazed.

We need a face reveal 🗿

Wait so Formic Acid is literally... an ant acid....

Fun fact: i fell into a patch of stinging nettles in France on a summer vacation as an 8 year old. Excruciating, especially for a kid with a low pain threshold! My uncle, however, a native of Britain, knew where to find ghe antidote... immediately next to the nettles. Just in case any of yall need to know!

If you were a science or a history teacher in my school I would get A+ in those subjects because I would actually pay attention 💀

Red meat doesn't cause gout... carbohydrates do.

Jeffrey Dahmer just joined the chat

Hydrofluric acid always freaked me out handling it... I did manage to have a small breaker of sulfuric acid spill on my hand in chemistry many many years ago... Chemistry is so fun

14:50 we did it in a science fair at school years ago and trust me when I say it gives off a bad bad smell, really bad smell

The reveal face reveal face reveal

Magic acid? I believe i have ingested that tens of times. Didnt burn my mouth/throat but the next 10 hours were pretty interesting!

Imagine if xenomorphs started invading earth and everyone whipped out their frying pans to fight back. Imagine reflecting xenomorph blood back into a xenomorph

Note that these are if the acid is at high concentrations. Sulfuric acid that is commercially used is at a way lower concentration

This is my favorite BE AMAZED narrator 👍

Interesting. Very good. I only wish you had explained WHY some of these acids are produced at all. You did on a few but not all of them. Thanks for the info.

Ive passed 18 kidney stones in my life and of those 3 were too large and i had to have surgery. Of those surgeries one time i had to pee right before surgery and they wouldnt let me go and when i woke up i was in so much pain! I felt worse after surgery than before! They feel like a knife blade pushed into yourr bellly that never goes away - 5 years ago i stopped getting kidney stones and i have some peace and pain free as long as i always drrink more water than anyone ever

That one Cloverfield movie with John Goodman had a huge drum of perchloric acid in it. It was used to dissolve a body.

back in middle school i learnt a bunch of acids in middle school and the teacher let us use hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide to do an experiment to make your own salt solution. ahhh good memories

I often used formic acid to determine if carpet was nylon. Formic acid will dissolve a fiber of nylon but not the other fibers. Oxalic acid could remove rust stains but, there were other chemicals did that much better (although not as safe. For example Hydroflouric acid).

Appreciate this i was very curious

My stomach acid terrifies me the most. I can feel it every day and night

I wonder if you could do a video of strong akaline substances or bases.

If you're afraid of the 1st one the last one will be you're worst nightmare

I have to say you got a lot of the chemistry stuff right except for what fluorine does to glass you got it half way ish

at 5:54, when he said I'll see myself out, I got an ad at that moment lol

I think be amazed is actually an entire team
