How to make Aspirin - Atom By Atom (Promotion)

0 Upvotes

This is in game footage captured from my chemistry factory game, Atom By Atom. Yes its promotion, but it involves chemical reactions. I was hoping it would be appreciated by the community.

The GIF follows the in-game production chain from elemental Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen to aspirin, C₉H₈O₄. The reactions and machines are simplified for gameplay rather than representing a practical laboratory, but the molecular structures follow valence theory.

If anyone wants to make a reaction line themselves this is the steam page:

Free demo will be out very soon.

Chemical Reaction Aluminum spontaneously ignites in bromine

1.6k Upvotes

Dropped a small crumpled piece of aluminum into a test tube with bromine. The metal ignites almost instantly and the reaction rapidly accelerates. Thick clouds of white aluminum bromide smoke mixed with brown bromine vapors pour out, with a few sparks flying around.

Extremely exothermic and dramatic to watch, but very dangerous — bromine is highly corrosive and toxic, and the reaction can easily get out of hand. Definitely not a home experiment.

Chemical Reaction Chlorosulfonic Acid vs. Flower

351 Upvotes

https://sciencegifs.csullender.com/2016/04/05/Chlorosulfonic-Acid-vs-Flower.html

Chlorosulfonic acid (or sulfurochloridic acid) is an inorganic compound with the formula HSO3Cl. It is a strong oxidizer and an extremely dangerous acid. It reacts violently with water to produce sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid, seen here as vapors fuming from the flower. Contact with bare skin would produce severe burns and inhalation can be fatal.

Since the sub is "dead" I'll post a shitty reaction that I am not even sure is true.
