Encasing liquified chlorine in an ampoule then in resin
« on: June 10, 2010, 12:20:59 AM »
This was a project I was undertaking, but after a few "dry runs" of practicing the ampoule sealing with water instead of chlorine, I'm realizing that this is beyond my skill level and there's a fairly good chance I'd end up shooting myself in the face with a pretty high concentration of gaseous chlorine.

I've looked online, but have only been able to find a private copy of what I was planning.  Do any of you know someone who might sell/make these?

Try making your ampule out of a longer test tube, more space between where you are working and the actual product. I would be concerned about the pressure needed to liquefy at room temp. probably breaking glass...

Chlorine is "easily" condensed with dry ice.  I'll try giving that a shot.  It's hard to work with the flame too near the fingertips though!

I hope your ampule has a small diameter with relatively thick walls.

Found someone who sold me a quartz ampoule with burst pressure ca 100 atm; encased it myself
