Making Hydrogen Sulfide From Common Household Materials | LabCoatz Shorts

Duration: 3:24

In my mad attempt to synthesize thioacetone, I stumbled upon a problem: I would need to make hydrogen sulfide. Unfortunately, at the time of this video, I didn't have any iron or aluminum powder to make the corresponding metal sulfides with (which are frequently used to make H2S), and the heated wax-sulfur method seemed too messy (you try cleaning melted wax off of your flasks!). So, I devised a new method of producing relatively pure hydrogen sulfide, which, in my opinion, is easier and somewhat superior when it comes to at- home H2S synthesis.

It is just as dangerous as hydrogen cyanide, but with the added bonus that it is also remarkably flammable. DO NOT attempt anything in this video at home unless you understand the risks involved. I take no responsibility for harm caused to or by individuals who replicate my work. 0:00 Project introduction 0:29 WARNING! 0:38 Materials 0:46 Making "Part A": aluminum trichloride solution 1:19 Making "Part B": sodium polysulfide solution 1:42 Testing the reaction (H2S!) 1:52 Explanation 2:40 Bottling up and conclusion 3:10 Patron thanks and outro
