    Fill a balloon with hydrogen gas, ignite it.

    I wonder if I have any broken pingpong balls around.
  2. How did you prepare stearin/aceton?

    I didn't prepare it. We have plenty of these at uni (in fact, this photo is from my university):

  4. Did you just pour aceton on the candle right before?
  5. Nope. I just soaked the polyestyrene with acetone and then ignited the sticky mixture.
  6. Ok. That's what i asked to know. Thanks.

    Chemistry is a lot of fun. Just like physics.
  7. Chemistry is the coolest of all the science It owes all to Physics though


    I just realized that I have to try to ignite a pingpong ball covered with acetone-soaked polystyrene hahahaha
  8. lol There's a pyromaniac inside everyone.
  9. Inside? I'd doubt that

    Nah, just kidding. I don't burn things just for the sake of it: I only burn things which might be useful or interesting to know from a purely chemical point of view.


    Regarging your supposed "hydrogen bomb", I have two negative points for you:
    a) hydrogen gas isn't precisely easy to get.
    b) that way is dirty and very little elegant.

    I have the solution for both
  10. Put a grape in the microwave, always a crowd pleaser.

    Legendary

  12. a) There's hydrogen gas at school. What was your suggestion anyway?
    b) Forgive my crude methods, what do you prefer?
