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

    Chemistry is a lot of fun. Just like physics.
  4. 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
  5. lol There's a pyromaniac inside everyone.
  6. 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
  7. Put a grape in the microwave, always a crowd pleaser.

  9. a) There's hydrogen gas at school. What was your suggestion anyway?
    b) Forgive my crude methods, what do you prefer?
  10. a) A school with hydrogen gas?!?!?! God, no wonder why Sweden is the country with the highest human development index!!!!!
    b) Hydrochloric acid + aluminium. Both affordable substances which give utterly cool -and potentially dangerous- experiments.
  11. Yeah, of course there's hydrogen gas at school. Our teacher have used it just for show a few times too, awesome!!

    We're pretty well equipped for laboration

    What do you do with your HCl and aluminium? We use plenty of HCl at school.
  12. Mix, enclose, laugh.





    There are plenty of videos and different experiments, but this was the first I got. I'm tired and wanna go to bed


    Basically it's 6 HCl + 2 Al --> 2 AlCl3 + 3 H2. Which is cool, since aluminium trichloride is a very interesting and important catalyst, and hydrogen is... well, hydrogen
