Flesh-Eating Hydrofluoric Acid - Periodic Table of Videos

We dunk chicken drumsticks in dreaded Hydrofluoric Acid, along with Hydrochloric Acid and Sulfuric Acid. What do you think might happen?

MAD RESPECT

*might watch it, when I am old*

*SIR, you're a legend*

Can I dip my arm in HF acid

Chemistry teacher: Yes but with goggles

You can see him tremble from all the science inside him

In 10th grade earth science class some kids thought it would be funny to spray hydrochloric acid in my face, mostly in my eyes. (bullies obviously) It is one of the most extreme pains i have ever felt. The teacher got me to the eye wash station very quickly, maybe 45 to 60 seconds had passed. i washed my eyes out for around 15 min before i went to the nurses and continued to rinse my eyes for another 10 as i waited for me mum to bring me to the doctor. at the doctors after looking at my eyes said that if i had waited any longer to rinse my eyes that they would have deflated. the recovery took about 1 to 1.5 months. oddly enough the only problem that continued after recovery was an odd colour blindness. Colours would change as i looked at them if other colours were brought near the colour i was looking at. to this day i can still see colours wrong. Acid is scary!

"and you asked me why should you use a plastic barrel, Jesse?"

[caresiri]

He definitely looks like Science. I trust him

[miireiia]

Is anyone concerned how these 3 acids can easily pass as water?

Did he eventually go ahead and watch breaking bad tho?

Me: this man is a pure baby

"perhaps one day I might watch it when I'm old" this guy knows what's up, learning new things keeps u from getting old :3

I wish i had this man as my chem teacher in school, he's captivating

[Mirrorunlimited]

That scientist looks so stereotypical lol

We used HF in one of the production lines, all of the guys I met who worked on the line had some exposure. The cure is to inject calcium gluconate under the skin at the point of exposure multiple times. If you ever walked under the reactors you didn't look up you looked for holes in the floor to see where there was leaking.
As an undergrad I worked at an incinerator, we received some barrels from the EPA that were mislabeled on the manifest. The sampler thought it was a pretty safe and routine chemical and sampled it without the full suit. He didn't notice the exposure right away, but said it itched when he got home. It progressed to actual pain, they had to amputate the thumb for an exposure so small he didn't notice it.
BB is frustrating for someone with chemistry knowledge to watch, you have to treat it as a fantasy series. I played a game called the many deaths of Jessie where I'd count the number of times he should have died from how he handled the chemicals. The first I saw was when he was pouring HF from a jug into a container and it was splashing everywhere early in season 1. There were many deaths in that, especially once they upscaled the process and they were sticking their heads into and even climbing into the reactors.

You know it's dangerous if they wore a glove under another glove

I love to dip my chicken in this spicy sauce

1:37 "Perhaps one day I will watch it once i'm old" Well said.
