Nitrocellulose Preparation and Deflagration Tests

Cellulose hexanitrate (which we're almost certain we ended up with) is easy to make and spectacular to demonstrate. Please see previous video on the preparation of nitric acid and please heed all safety warnings present in the video; it's for your own good, y'know. If you have a better way to squeeze the nitrating mixture out of the freshly-nitrated cellulose, please share! Reactions seen here (Because we do not know the degree of nitration with certainty, the first pair of reactions is for cellulose hexanitrate, which Ozonenerd is not as sure as ViggenGuy about our having made, and the second pair is for cellulose trinitrate.): 2*C6H10O5 (s) + 6*HNO3 (aq) → C12H14N6O22 (s) + 6*H2O (l) catalyzed by H2SO4 (aq) 2*C12H14N6O22 (s) + 9*O2 (g) → 6*N2 (g) + 24*CO2 (g) + 14*H2O (g) 2*C6H10O5 (s) + 3*HNO3 (aq) → C12H17N3O18 (s) + 3*H2O (l) catalyzed by H2SO4 (aq) 4*C12H17N3O18 (s) + 29*O2 (g) → 6*N2 (g) + 48*CO2 (g) + 34*H2O (g)
