Making elemental bromine

From the creator

Note: The MnO2 that i used was likely contaminated with A LOT of carbon. I think if more pure MnO2 were used, the yield would be a lot better. In this video, we whip up some bromine using sulfuric acid drain cleaner, MnO2 from batteries, and sodium bromide pool solution. At around 8 minutes, it should be sodium bisulfate not potassium! I made a mistake. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Merch - https://nilered.tv/store ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Join the community: Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/nilered Discord - https://discord.com/invite/3BT6UHf NileRed Newsletter - https://nile.red/home#newsletter You can also find me here: Facebook - https://m.facebook.com/NileRed2 Instagram - https://m.instagram.com/nile.red Twitter - https://mobile.twitter.com/NileRed2 Nile talks about lab safety: https://youtu.be/ftACSEJ6DZA
