Making Triphenylarsine with Arsenic Metal
In this video I am having my first attempt at organoarsenic chemistry. I bought an ampoule of arsenic metal which I chlorinated to arsenic(III)chloride using chlorine produced from pool chlorine tablets. I then used this to synthesize triphenylarsine.
I added captions for this video!
Don't conduct any chemical reactions without proper and professional safety analysis and risk management. Measures taken can be invisible, not filmed, not properly visible on camera or misjudged by the viewer due to setup or video construction. Always conduct own appropriate measures regardless of video setup.
