Hexamine synthesis. Ammonia and formaldehyde.

The video tutorial demonstrates the synthesis of hexamine from ammonia and formaldehyde. It begins with an introduction to hexamine's uses, followed by a detailed preparation of reactants. The reaction process is explained, including the importance of maintaining the correct reactant ratios. The video concludes with the successful burning of hexamine and a discussion of the experiment's outcome.

What is one of the main uses of hexamine mentioned in the video?

• In the manufacture of plastics

• As a cleaning agent

• In the production of RDX

• As a food preservative

What is the first step in the hexamine synthesis process?

• Heating the mixture

• Filtering the solution

• Measuring out formaldehyde

• Adding ammonia

Why is it important to have excess ammonia in the reaction?

• To ensure complete reaction

• To reduce the reaction time

• To prevent the smell of formaldehyde

• To increase the yield of hexamine

What is the balanced chemical equation for the synthesis of hexamine?

• 4 NH3 + 6 CH2O → C6H12N4 + 6 H2O

• 6 NH3 + 4 CH2O → C6H12N4 + 4 H2O

• 4 NH3 + 4 CH2O → C6H12N4 + 4 H2O

• 6 NH3 + 6 CH2O → C6H12N4 + 6 H2O

What issue did the creator face with the hexamine product initially?

• It smelled like ammonia

• It didn't burn

• It was too wet

• It was too dry

What was the creator's reaction to the final product of hexamine?

• Disappointed

• Indifferent

• Confused

• Impressed

What did the creator mention about future video production?

• They will make videos more frequently

• They will make videos as often as possible

• They will focus on a different topic

• They will stop making videos
