Grant's wife: "Grant, where are all my drinking glasses?" Grant: "Don't worry about it"

Pro tip: try using powdered sugar instead of granulated. The increased surface area of the sugar will give you a faster, more violent reaction.

He may be gone, but not forgotten. Also.. Grant's up there messing with chemicals we've never even discovered.

R.I.P You will all ways be missed and loved!

whoops....thought you were talking about a different kinda of acid.

"Experimenting With Acid" Sounds like my kinda night!

Grant:"it's not extremely pleasant" Proceeds to smell it more

6:49 me after taco bell

*Grant cuts an onion* "Hmm, it smells like onion"

I have this morbid fear that Grant's last words will be "OK, that was unexpected!"

Rest in piece dude ✌ You'll always be in our memories

I "experimented with acid" before too, didnt quite get the same results... :D

when your baked on 4/19 and blame you red eye on a science experiment your doing

"Experimenting With Acid" Ah, finally that rice video makes sense.

TKR: Says use the right protection Also TKR: *Uses latex gloves while dealing with highly corrosive acid* Me: Hold up...

REST IN PEACE 💔

Hey, a buffer or buffer solution is something you put in a liquid (in this case sulfuric acid) to make sure its pH stay constant even if you put in contact with for example sodium hydroxide (something with a different pH). I'm not really sure why this is important for drain cleaner but for exemple you have a buffer in your blood because you need to have a very precise and constant pH to stay healthy and you don't want any ion in your body to change it.

Hey mom I know it's 4/20 but my eyes are red cause sulphur dioxide gas I swear

Can you freeze acid with nitrogen??? Like for him to see this

I LOVE your videos. Awesome stuff. Thank you for all your hard work!

"with buffer, whatever that means" you be shiiiting me.... The next video you need to check out and explore buffers.....

carry out that reaction in a closed container

Man, I can't help but see the art you could make with this.

This is probably the best vid so far!!! I wish they would do more experiments like this...

Dude! This is exothermic reaction and you are wearing rubber gloves!?

"Whatever buffer means..." - Yeah, you know science.

Did this in chemistry class in high school years ago. It was so awesome!

I love your videos, absolutely amazing

A buffer is a solution which prevents change of pH on addition of any stuff to solution to a certain extent

it smells like chemicals and sugar.. reminds me of cocacola lol

“I love this randomness” the king of random

This was by far my favourite experiment in high school chem

A buffer just stops the ph of the acid from changing to easily when you try to neutralise it with alkali (just some knowledge for you!)

Why don't you put sugar and sulphuric acid in a vacuum chamber so the bubbles don't form and will have a different outcome!

i did that on school. Its very nice m8. lovin your videos BOI. edit: This process is basically what happens in our cells. This warms up our bodies. THis is why little kids go very active when they eat candy or other sweet things.

8:44 me after eating Taco Bell

I should do this for a independent science experiment at my high school Thanks Grant!

"You do not want to let any fall on your skin" Wears a t-shirt

I'll use this for my school science project now thx

If that is nearly all carbon is it possible to put enough pressure on it to turn it to diamond?

Hey Grant! I seemed to notice that while the solution was in its container, it hardened into the containers shape. Can you maybe try to put the acid and sugar into a mold to create awesome "lava rock" sculptures? Anyways, stay awesome!

6H2SO4 + C6H1206 --> 6C (H2SO4 H2O) if anyone is interested. Also try Rice Crispies & Sodium Peroxide with a little bit of water. Just make sure you do it outside.

Zi love chemistry just like you, and I want to be a chemist when I grow up.

when grant was actually just smacked and wanted a reason to look that way

grant, why dont you put in a soda bottle and cap it off tightly. will it explode or will the carbon crumble inside the bottle?

He would be the type of guy to go out into the middle of a tornado just for science, but he would be "comfortable with the risks".

This reminds me of the experiments I used to do when I was 8 years old using household chemicals found in the home. I'd just combine minute quantities of various detergents and chemicals typically found under the kitchen sink to look for any reactions. The coolest explosives I made was mixing Crystal Drano with gasoline, and a muriatic acid bomb by pouring some muriatic acid into a 2 liter bottle, twist up some aluminum foil (not tin foil) and drop it in, tighten the cap tightly, shake it up, and throw it (far a away). For the Crystal Drano bomb, I first used a McDonald's straw because they're really fat, capped one end with candle wax, poured in the Crystal Drano, then capped the other end with wax. Then dropped the straw into a close-able container of gasoline, and sealed the container. The gasoline dissolved the plastic of the straw, and once it made contact with the Crystal Drano, it exploded. Later, I drilled a hole into a ping pong ball, and used that as the Crystal Drano container, and plugged the hole with wax. It gives a longer "timer" before the gasoline breaches it. The muriatic acid bomb begins its reaction the moment you shake the bottle. Once you tighten the cap on the plastic bottle, shake it violently about 5 times, then throw it at least 30 meters away, and take cover (it will expel a cloud of acid which you don't want to be anywhere near). Then, watch as the plastic bottle doubles in size before the pressure makes the container fail. The loudest explosion was from using a 3 liter bottle. I was in artillery in the Army, and that explosion rivaled an artillery cannon firing. It rattled windows several houses away in my neighborhood on 1/2 acre land parcels. Oh, also don't set one of those off on a lawn as you will have a perfect 20 meter circle of dead grass for at least a year. If using a 3 liter bottle (or larger), it is concussive, and you can see the concussion wave spread across the ground ... Do not be anywhere near it as concussive explosions can cause brain injury. This is what kids who are bored, and in a rural area come up with (at least I did) LoL

Grant you should put a glass filled with acid and sugar upside down and see if it shoots up

Since you uploaded this video on Bicycle Day, I was expecting a different kind of acid

Put this in the vacuum chamber and look if the bubble disappeared Sory abut the English😂

Try sealing the top of the bottle and also conducting the experiment on a plate as no pressure will build up like it did in the neck of the bottle

A great person now a legend. Rest in peace

it looks like a giant black Cheetos puff

Sad to see Grant reduced to dabbling in psychedelic drugs

I'm fairly new here so you might have addressed these things in other videos but I have three things to mention. (1) What would happen if you put the carbon column in a baking soda solution? (2) Could you add sugar to sulfuric acid instead of the other way? It might be easier to mix in the vessels that way. (3) Please, Please use proper technique for smelling potentially caustic gases. You should waft the gas toward your nose and not put your nose into the substance.

A buffer is a substance that resists changes in pH. It's usually a weak acid or weak base. Lots of things that need to stay at specific pHs, including blood, contain buffers.

This is how Cheetos are made

A buffer solution can resist small changes in pH so its pH remains reasonably constant. Shampoos and stuff have them in so the pH doesn't change and damage your hair and your body is full of them so enzymes don't denature.

We did that first experiment in science- it is now engrained in us that change in temperature and color usually if not always means chemical reaction!

That volcano effect reminds me of ol doinyo lengai AKA the coolest volcano EVER!!! I’m a huge geology nerd... 😊💜

We have different opinions. You call it a volcano. I call it diarrhea.

MAKE A GLASS POKE-BALL! IT WOULD BE SO COOL!! LIKE SO GRANT CAN SEE!

Should have done it in a closed bottle if you wanted to see it explode, I assume.

He really was an amazing man and teacher. You are missed Grant!

Not the type of acid expermentation I was hoping for

I think a reaction similar to this happens when Mercury (II) Thiocyanate (Hg(SCN)2)is set on fire. It's a pretty cool reaction and Grant should try it out.

what if you actually mixed the sulfuric acid with water? would it just dilute it?

Hi TKOR I really enjoy watching your videos and I’m here since 2014 I would really appreciate a shoud out at your next video and it will be interesting to see this 10 times bigger like MEGASIZED

I wonder what would happen if you had sugar in your drain and then poured drain opener down it?

It looks like a black Cheetos puff

That inside part that was formed on the glass beaker looks like shiny obsidian rock pretty interesting

Drain Opener which we used to clean the bathroom???

Ohhhh. That type of acid... Silly me 😅

Could the carbon foam be used as insulation for a home forge?

No man. You nailed it there. Skeleton T-Rex. That's all I could see

I saw the T-Rex thumbs up! Seems the the mix of the acid sugar and oxygen. Get them to a perfect measure BOOM! Art!

I thought he was gonna get high

I thought you mean the other kind of acid..

try making black powder with that stuff, see how it compares

I'm doing this for my science project :3

i wounder what it would be like if you had sugar blocking your drain and you used this acid...

Requires correct type of protection whilst handling sulphuric acid, you say whilst wearing a short sleeved t shirt, exposing a lot of skin for acid burning...

The way it quickly hardens reminds me of shin gojira at the end of Shin Gojira

Buffer is a chemical added to resist ph change. It means you would need more base than normal to neutralize it.

DIY giant black cheeto puff

At the top it's very crumbly, and at the bottom.. uh its also crumbly.

with the carbon being created from the sugar and acid. Could you possibly use the carbon to help create a water purification bottle?

RIP the legend

why do you add the acid to the sugar instead of sugar to acid? so you wouldn't have to stir...

It looks like a burned hot cheeto.

Amazing video

"Experimenting with Acid". Sounds fun.

I hope you bought your wife some new glasses before you destroyed these ones.

Hey Grant!! How about making a vacuum chamber implode underwater?! I still think it would be WICKEDLY cool!!!

eager to c more new experiment

I cant believe ive never seen that drain opener before in any stores 😂 I just buy liquid plumber but I want that to do some tests aka put a piece of meat in it and see if it actually turns black

Am I the only one that looks at that and thinks "BLACK CHEETO!!!"?

do it in the vacuum chamber

Try to take some of that carbon stuff, and make it into a power and mix it with water and other stuff :)
