In this video, I make one of my favorite chemicals, which is a nice and carcinogenic chromium-based liquid.

I think I made a mistake with my calculations and I didn't actually use NaCl in excess. At 100g NaCl, the dichromate is actually the limiting reagent and this definitely cut into my yield. I was basing my prep on my last chromyl chloride video and I think I just propagated that error forward. I should've used at least 130g NaCl instead, and if i were to do this again, I'd probably use like 150-160g.

"I-Is that blood?" "Oh, no, it's just liquid cancer :)"
-
I love how the reasons it’s his favourite are: It’s toxic ✅ It’s potentially explosive ✅ It’s corrosive ✅ It’s carcinogenic ✅ It looks like blood ✅ It fumes a lot ✅

4/5 fun traits, not bad. Radioactivity would mean a bingo.

16:55 NileRed: [puts one drop of it in ethanol] The drop: [literally blows up and catches fire] NileRed: [*furiously inserts the rest in*] Also Nile: So yeah it was pretty tame

"Fun" properties: ✔ Toxic ✔ Carcinogenic ✔ Corrosive ✔ Explosive
-
“Splash potion of harming”

Next video: "Using my favorite carcinogen to turn paint thinner into cherry candy"
-
Chekov's Chromyl Chloride eventually returning to help make cherry soda is like when a villain joins the hero squad
-
People: "Let's try to cure cancer" NileRed: "Let's try to create cancer"
-
"Distilling sulphuric acid is the most dangerous thing I've ever done" he says unironically as he creates caustic, explosive cancer juice that looks like blood.
-
Four years later, and he does, in fact, make paint thinner cherry soda
-
You have such a clear voice that you're the only channel I can watch without subtitles this is a compliment, please don't take it the wrong way
-
Avoid all beverages that Nile mixes up with his magic bullet.

"Unlike most normal blood, this was fuming like crazy" ...most?
-
I drove past an 18 wheeler truck full of this the other day. Sent chills down my spine.
-
I just realized, this man basically said, "I was bored, so I decided to make a dangerous chemical." What a legend.
-
Carcinogen: Toxic, explosive, can cause cancer, looks like blood Nile: I found it, the best molecule
-
The fact that this guy has a favorite carcinogen says something about him
-
I love how Nile is just the modern version of a 18th century mad scientist
