this other than being a pyrotechnic, It's called the Death mix.

Adverbs of manner

There are a number of different death mixes, and they have that name for very good reason in that you have to be very careful when you're handling these chemicals, especially when they're all together.

November the fifth is a special celebration day in the United Kingdom, and particularly in England.

We're gonna make our own fireworks because it's come up to Bonfire Night here in 1605 on November the fifth, there was a plot to blow up the houses of Parliament when the King James the first, was opening the houses of Parliament.

In our beaker, we've got something very dull, mundane.

That's charcoal, but you need the charcoal because you're going to add to it.

So for as we're doing here, Guy Fawkes was found in the cellar of the houses of Parliament with a large amount of gunpowder, barrels and barrels and barrels.

It was clear that the next day he was going to try and blow it up.

What we're adding as well is something called potassium chloride.

It's ever since there has been a celebration on November the fifth, with fireworks I think probably this is a much older celebration festival with somehow has got changed from some sort of pagan festival into the celebration of the deliverance of the King.

So on November the fifth and usually the two Saturdays on either side of this, people let off a lot of fireworks.

And whenever one thinks of fireworks, of course, one thinks about the chemistry that makes them work because a firework is, after all, a fairly controlled explosion on one that produces dramatic visual effect, usually by including something that burns or gives out a bright light in the reaction mixture.

So when you use this stuff, you have to be very careful.

So often people add transition metal salts like copper that gives green or sometimes boron.

That gives green strong Tim that gives red and so on.

And the final thing I'll add is the strontium nitrate, and if you've seen our other videos, you'll know what color strong team gives you.

They also sometimes put in so cockney and powder that gives very bright sparks.

As you may have seen on our video, Sam A Neal have got a strange mixture, which I never heard before In this context, which Sam calls the death mixture none other than our silent rogue that is the chemical stick.

When I told him that I'd found a chemical reaction I wanted to do, the first thing he said was, You're making a death mix.

Essentially, the sulfur is burning and the protests implore.

My colleague Pete license likes to call it bottled oxygen because it's oxygen, a very concentrated form, and as you heat it up, it gives out the oxygen guess, which then combines So essentially, your burning cell phone using the heat of this burning this combustion, too vaporize metal sorts that give nice colors.

It got so hot in the center of that reaction, it's actually heated the sheet metal, and it's caused it to slightly in Dent Bend.

But the best thing about a chemistry reaction is the repetition, making sure that you can do the same reaction again on altering it slightly to make it more interesting.

Now have you got much history or, you know, they tucked up in bed by then I have done.

When my Children were younger, I used to celebrate it and so on.

But being a safety officer, I insisted they were war safety glasses and so on, which I think for my poor Children took a bit of a sign off the event.

And finally, the thing that's going thio give us green fire and it's barium nitrate.

This time, when I was at school at the age of about 11 or 12 I was at a boarding school way, lived at the school and some of the boys decided for gay folks day.

They would make a really big rocket by joining together lots of different rockets so that this would be a huge event.

But unfortunately they didn't understand enough about the physics of it.

So although it was set off by one of the school teachers because it Children can't have matches, it rose in the air a few feet, and then it was just unstable and crashed to the ground and style shot in different directions.

We were all watching through the windows, and we were very disappointed because we thought it would go almost of the moon.

Hey, Brady, it's destined over here in America, specifically Alabama.

We know a thing or two about bonfires as well.

And well, I think it's pretty awesome that you guys have a specific day.

Anyway, if you wanna check out how we make bonfires, come check out my channel smarter Every day I'll show you how we do it with rockets.
