LIQUID OZONE!

Just made some with an ozonisator, condensed in a test tube with some liquid nitrogen. There was no problem with it until we started the reaction.



The nitrogen/acetone mixture solidified the deuterochloroform what was used as a solvent, the ozone condensed on it and it reacted explosively with the alkene what would have been ozonized.

Never misjudge the power of chemistry. And never forget to use safety glasses!
