Now I hated this class back in high school. That damn table of elements was just to much for me. But I will say this, messing metals is extremly fun! I was watching this show on G4 TV called "Brainiac" where they experment with this and that and mess with theories to prove a point. After seeing what you can do with some metals, I decided to get my friends to go back to the school and pick up as much of the stuff as they could!

So everynow and than, when we want a good laugh, we explode stuff! When certain metals mix with water, it causes a reaction which than ends up with an explosion. I think the funniest thing we did was leave a bucket of water in the sidewalk and when a group of people walked by, we threw the metal (in a water container which desolves in water) in the bucket and hid. Lol, the metal reaction is so powerful, it destoyed a heavy duty Home Depot bucket! Dude, we scared the living heck outa them!

Lol, I'm not one for science but Chemistry can be fun if you make it

Hey I want this topic alive!

oh god


Do you have to get me started?


I now know more about paper mache volcanos than I wanted to... you see, the baking soda reacts with the vinegar, which is also called acetic acid. What you get is Carbonic Acid, H[2]CO[3]. However, this is a very weak acid and dissociates quickly into H[2]O and CO[2], which is why you get the bubbles.

This is also how Tums work. Calcium Carbonate + Hydrochloric Acid --> Calcium Chloride + Carbonic Acid, which produces the same products in your stomach as it does in the volcano.




In other news, my friends have made a mini hydrogen bomb, my 8th grade teacher taught us how to make a pickle glow, I've made silver and copper....


suffice to say I'm in AP chem, okay?

I can make a potatoe glow, beat that.

[Hector]

Yitter, the potatoe god, lol...

LA (your new nickname), do you know that trick where you but baking soda and this other thing in the toilet so that when a person flushes it, bubbles come out the toilet, all over the house ^^

It's crazy man...

[RachM]

I put baking soda in a huge water fountain once when I was in London xD I added Shampoo too =D

Meh, Chemistry was boring >_> I got dared to eat marble chips, which I did, I felt ill after though xP

I remember my chemistry teacher told us a story about when she worked in a hospital (the morgue, actually). Well one day one guy came in. She asked what happened, and she was told that the man went to an all-you-can-eat buffet, ate a ton of spaghetti, and then drank some water & baking soda (because he must've heard it can help indigestion). Unfortunately, he added a bit too much baking soda to his water. His stomach exanded with all of the gas built up from the baking soda mixture and the acids in his stomach, and his stomach exploded! Well that must've hurt. :silly:

If I remember correctly, Manganese + Water = Boom.

We did that in 4th grade... My vision was severely damaged after it...


Well not mine, my epileptic friend though.

No seriously, magnesium is fun, but opium is more fun, in a different way.
