In this video potassium burning in air is shown and how the products of the reaction behave. Support me on Patreon: / randomexperimentsinter... Buy Stock Footage: sellfy.com/science-stock-footage
Very nice video! I did this same experiment as well and also noticed the burning metal climbs the walls of whatever it is burning in, even in very small amounts. If it is burned in a closed system with pure oxygen being fed into the system you can obtain pure potassium superoxide. Though a lid must be kept on it to keep it from reacting with atmospheric moisture. This is how I acquired my sample of the superoxide for my compound collection. Anyways, great video! I thoroughly enjoyed it. Keep up the great work.
Beautiful presentation! I wonder how much control one might gain over the products if the atmosphere were tailored to it. Absence of CO2, for instance.
@@RaExpIn ah don't worry, for me (I'm italian) it's hard actually learn grammar because it is REALLY different, my comment was just a test of how good was i at recognizing accents, apparently I am ;)
