Top 10 Most Amazing Chemical Reactions in the World


These most amazing chemical reactions in the world is part of how beautiful is chemistry can be. Chemistry is one of the most interesting subject. Sometime We’re amazed on how two compounds can make new compound or can react and form a new chemical element. There are lot of interesting and amazing chemical reactions. But We can see how amazing these chemical reactions is. So please enjoy, top 10 most amazing chemical reactions in the world:

10. Reaction of Sodium / Natrium (Na) with water (H2O) in Chlorine (Cl) gas

Sodium is highly reactive element and easily explode. When mixed with water, will immediately cause an explosion. In the video below Na react with water in the Cl gas producing yellow light and high heat. Here’s the video:

9. Reaction between Magnesium (Mg) with Dry Ice

Magnesium is highly flammable and the fire will light very brightly. In this video you will see Magnesium burning in Dry Ice (frozen CO2).

8. Reaction between Potassium Klorat (KClO3) with Gummy Bear

Potassium Klorat usually use for disinfecting and fireworks. When Potassium Klorat boiled, anything added into it will explode instantly see the following video:

7. Meissner Effect

When a superconductor is cooled below the transition temperature, then the character becomes diamagnetic. Here’s the Video:

6. Saturation of Sodium Acetate

Sodium Acetate will be saturated when cooled or heated. If there is contact with another object crystallization happened.

5. Superabsorben Polymer

A polymer can absorb water very quickly and a lot. Also called Hydrogel

4. Hexaflouride sulfur that can make objects floating
Sulfur Hexaflourode gases is odorless, colorless, and non-toxic. Besides can make things floating, inhaling this gas will cause your voice to be very low.

3. Superfluid Helium
When helium is cooled to -271 degrees Celsius, helium will turn into Helium II, It’s called a superfluid. Fluid is very dilute, can even flow against the gravity of the earth! Check this out! :

2. Thermite Reaction with Liquid Nitrogen
In this video we will see how explosive Thermite reactions can be suppressed / cooled by Liquid Nitrogen. Wow!

1. Briggs-Rauscher Reaction (Oscillation Reaction)

This reaction is also called Oscillation Reaction. Fluid that had no color change color to a yellowish color, and then suddenly changed into a dark blue, then changed again to no color. The process repeated until around 10 times, then end up being a dark blue with a strong smell of iodine. It’s really awesome! Check this out!
