Elementary Productions: Bromine and Aluminum

GardenShedChemistry Says:

Apr 3, 2009 - This is incorrect. The correct stochiometric equation is3Br2 + 2Al --> 2AlBr3

ENavarrete10 Says:

Apr 7, 2009 - Ah, crap.I forgot Bromine was diatomic, thanks :p

SplinterCell521 Says:

Apr 11, 2009 - where can i get a whole bottle of bromine like that?

milotickz Says:

Apr 28, 2009 - Bromine is an acid as well, right?

DownUnderPyro Says:

May 15, 2009 - im curious what would happen if a finer aluminium such as powdered form would happen if added to the bromine?would the reaction happen faster or not at all?

lakzir Says:

May 30, 2009 - extremely as deadly? if i breath this in, i should plan my funeral?

dbc616 Says:

Jun 8, 2009 - It would probably happen faster, since there's more surface area for it to react with.

DownUnderPyro Says:

Jun 8, 2009 - yeah :D

pyropakman Says:

Aug 4, 2009 - Lewis acid.

pyropakman Says:

Aug 4, 2009 - Probably out of a high school catalog. You could also synthesize your own by bubbling chlorine gas through a saturated bromide salt solution, like NaBr or KBr.You can make chlorine by combining hydrochloric acid and either any hypochlorite (Clorox bleach is 6% NaClO) or Potassium Permanganate.

Oct 28, 2009 - Seeing as how Bromine over time will even eat through the glass of the container that it is kept in, yes i would plan my funeral. The halogens are gasses that you do not want to come into contact with.

douro20 Says:

Oct 30, 2009 - No because it is a halogen.

mclein1097 Says:

Nov 21, 2009 - Can I use aluminum foil?

Masalmeh321 Says:

Dec 8, 2009 - Yes, you can. It might take a little longer to react though.

Dec 11, 2009 - Holy-Terrorist:> bromine = cancer !

olympicfan2 Says:

Jan 10, 2010 - you can make bromine with potassium or sodium bromide manganese dioxide and sulfuric acid 10 percent

olympicfan2 Says:

Jan 10, 2010 - yes, you can use aluminium foil!!!

supersaper3 Says:

May 30, 2010 - That's a watch glass not a petri dish.

Jul 5, 2010 - crazy!!!Are you try to kill yourself lol ?

EPICGUYDUDE Says:

Jul 6, 2010 - where is the aluminum bromide? is it the shiny stuff left over? the brown stain on the plate/dish?

misaluvakatsa Says:

Jul 29, 2010 - is the gas toxic...?

mewrox99 Says:

Sep 11, 2010 - Your not gonna get cancer from inhaling bromine a couple of times a year. It's only chronic exposureAnd your Holy-terrorist:> shit is annoying

pyro4869 Says:

Feb 5, 2011 - Isn't Bromine the stuff that can cause cancer and is highly flammable

4242bobby Says:

Oct 12, 2011 - damn it does look like the pits of hell

legonut021 Says:

Mar 14, 2012 - aluminium+bromine=hell in a bowl
