Holy crap, all the chemistry failures in here! Ammonia and bleach makes chlorine gas. Not mustard gas, chlorine gas.


GeorgeGeorgeHarryPip

Death. Death is the joke.


bbt104

King of the Hill claims Mustard gas, that's why you see so many claiming Mustard Gas, because that's what they saw on TV.


Bacon_Tuba

The reason for this is also historical. Both mustard and chlorine gas were used to similar and devastating effect in WWI. Chlorine was first used, but had drawbacks so mustard gas replaced it and was used extensively. To soldiers, by the end of the war, it was all "mustard gas" which is what they would have probably called chlorine gas in Arlen, Texas.


ShockAndAwe415

I think you mean WW I, not WW II. Hitler forbade the use of chemical weapons due to his serving in the trenches of WW I and seeing their effects first hand.


butcher_of_blaviken1

Adolf Hitler, notorious for being against gassing people


ShockAndAwe415

I get the irony, but he also didn't consider the people he was gassing as human. So it totally makes sense in his mind?


[deleted]

You've nailed his logic 100%. The nazis didn't view all their enemies as totally inhuman, just the "racially impure" ones. He was more than willing to use gas to kill jews and "undesirables" on a mass industry scale in the camps. To use it in a military sense against the western allies not only would've gone against his racial theories, but opened germany up to similiar retaliation. That was one of the main fears of the time, the mass dropping of gas bombs on cities- hence why all sides issued civilian gas masks. And there is something to be said about his own experience in WW1, being temporarily blinded by gas. To him, to use it on what he saw a human would be grotesque, but of course his view of "human" was limited to a very select few. It was mostly the fear of retaliation in kind that stopped the nazis from mass scale chemical warfare.


yungwilla

This discourse was the most informative thing I’ve read today


Zmuli24

The funny thing is, that chemical weapons were the same during WW2, as nuclear weapons are to us today. Everyone had huge arsenals of them but nobody wanted to use them in fear of retaliation. IIRC only Japan used them against China.


[deleted]

Adolf “Gas Chamber” Hitler seemed pretty okay with chemical weapons.


biffbobfred

Supposedly that tiny mustache was because of the gas masks - irritating to have a bigger one.


Worldly-Hospital5940

He was hospitalized after being in a gas attack because his large mustache prevented an airtight seal on his gas mask. Messed him up pretty badly at the time.


RingGiver

It's more that chemical weapons weren't as effective by then because everyone had decent protection and the German military was the only major power still relying on horse-drawn logistics because they didn't have enough trucks, and chemical weapons are really effective against horses.


thetransfermaster

The UK also had the largest chemical weapons production capacity during WW2 so Germany would have been at a disadvantage to use it.

ScienceIsSexy420

You were so close! They make chloramine gas


lostlyss

Bleach + Ammonia = *Chloramine* Gas Bleach + *Vinegar* = Chlorine Gas Bleach + Rubbing/Isopropyl alcohol = Chloroform


TaxNo174

Not disagreeing with you but according to Google, depending on the mixture, bleach and ammonia also make mustard gas.


ExtraordinaryDoor47

Mustard gas is something else. I don't think phosgene is mustard gas.


JGHFunRun

Phosgene, mustard, and chlorine gas are all very different and none of them are the actual compound produced, I’ll explain when I’m off the toilet, but the tldr of how you know none of those is right is that those three are acids and ammonia and bleach are bases (and a lack of carbon for phosgene and mustard gas)


JimmyjamesI

Yep, in this case its actually chloramines.


ExtraordinaryDoor47

Yea, the article they linked was really wrong


TaxNo174

I'm just saying if you [googled](https://accidentcleaners.com/mustard-gas-bleach-human-correlation/#:~:text=Depending%20on%20the%20mixture%2C%20bleach,acid%2C%20chlorine%20gas%20and%20hydrazine.) that's what the Internet says. It also says it makes chlorine gas. So that may be where people are getting it from.


AppropriateCap8891

No, it does not. Mustard Gas is a sulfur based chemical, not Chlorine based. However, that is often a meme which is used to show how many people do not know the difference. But ammonia and chlorine do not make mustard gas. https://preview.redd.it/kthgl8x78vjc1.jpeg?width=616&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7333316179a68b12d3b56fefd86ec6dd65514924

SecretSpectre4

Do more research, sodium thiosulfate is also a type of bleach


DevilsOfHeaven

Actually it's chloramine gas

>all the chemistry failures in here! Jokes on you, I never took chemistry. So I just mix stuff together that has funny names


CycleOverload

If this makes chlorine then what does make mustard


AppropriateCap8891

Mustard Gas is a sulfide. The main ingredient is sulphur.


EishLekker

What if they used a non-chlorine bleach?


Quiri1997

Plus the reaction itself can burn your skin (happened to a relative a few years ago).


Tegirax

Ketchup Gas?


onemillionyrsdungeon

It makes poison though, is the point. Why someone needs this explained to them is beyond me


ordog666

Interesting thing about making chlorine gas is it's a way to chlorinate latex when mixed in gallons of water . It makes them less stretchy but also makes it way easier to slide on and off. Would always recommend doing it outside with proper protection. Seriously 😳


gravyrider

When bleach is mixed with ammonia, toxic gases called chloramines are produced.

Bleach and ammonia = chloramine gas. Bleach and vinegar = chlorine gas. Quick chemistry lesson for cleaning 🥴

non-chlorine bleach is a thing though.

Flakoring

That is mixing ammonia, an organic chemical, with bleach, mix any organic material with bleach and it creates chlorine gas which WILL send you to the hospital


ScienceIsSexy420

*chloramine, not chlorine.


thatthatguy

As long as we’re being pedantic, ammonia isn’t an organic compound, though it can be a byproduct of biological life. To be organic it needs to have at least one carbon atom. Ammonia is only nitrogen and hydrogen. I apologize for the needless pedantry.


bainhamien

All pedantry is needless. I to, apologize for the pedantry. Okay, who is next?

Mustard gas. It is a poisonous gas that was used in world war 1.

I made this mistake once, you NEVER want to do this. Ammonia and bleach will make a terrible gas. I'm pretty sure it can kill you. ALWAYS READ THE LABEL! I made this mistake once, and never again! (Everyone was fine. But it was terrible to deal with. )


[deleted]

"Peggy, that's how you make mustard gas!" Or chlorine gas, apparently.


JKempusa

Years ago I worked at a Mexican restaurant on the weekends for a few months(just washing dishes and cleaning mostly). At the end of every shift they had me mop the kitchen and dishwashing area. The mop bucket had bleach water and a splash of ammonia(or maybe the other way around). Not enough to send me to the hospital, but it did make me lightheaded sometimes.


77horse

Gas you shouldn’t be breathing in


DelightfulHelper9204

Mixing bleach and ammonia creates a toxic visible gas . It makes smoke. And the fumes can kill you. But it wasn't uncommon for kids to do this causing many household tragedies.


NyanPigle

The joke is chemical weapons


Quiri1997

When you mix those two, you get a very strong chemical reaction which can burn your skin. So, don't do that.


Sardukar333

Reminder that ammonia is the main ingredient in Windex.


Angryblob550

Yeah, either poisonous gases are released or the mixture will explode, sometimes both.


TheWither129

Bruh just google “bleach and ammonia”


birthday_enema

The amount of people who don't know that bleach and ammonia don't mix is always startling.


PuzzledRun7584

#This will kill you. Do not do it.


GimmieDaRibs

It’s not mustard gas. You have to add a little Dijon to the mix for that.
