A shocking video shows the moment a barrel of liquid nitrogen exploded in a botched chemistry experiment in Spain - causing 15 people, including nine children, to be hospitalised. 

The blast from the experiment at the House of Culture in Girona left victims with burns, which were treated at Placa de l'Hospital, reported The Sun. 

The footage shows the crowd, consisting mainly of children and a few parents, waiting expectantly to see the experiment - some with their cameras out. 

The event, which Girona's mayor Marta Madrenas said was organised by the local university, saw organisers hyping up the crowd by playing Bruno Mars' Uptown Funk and encouraging them to look in the barrels. 

One barrel is lightly smoking at the start of the video.
