dramatic chemical reactions
Watclod
It's been years since I last studied chemistry. Can anyone
enumerate the most dramatic reactions such as combining
two elements or liquid that can change its color and
especially those easily acquired and not explosive. I
wanna demonstrate to my cousin kids why chemistry is
interesting.
Also can you easily buy sodium and choloride? Can this
be found in drugstore? If not where? To make salt, do
I just combine them or do I have to put them in water??
Thanks.

Have the kid become a Homeland Severity jackbooted airport goon. It
pays $132,000/year at LAX - and you can take a plane without being
shaken down by jackbooted airport goons.

You are advising the kid to take down a plane by putting
reactive chemicals on the boots or shotes mixing them while
mid air exploding a plane. You must be out of your mind, dude.
But I'm sure Al Qaeda would love your technical knowledge.
Anyway. What kind of chemicals to mix that can be hidden
in boots that can explode the fuseluge? Must he sit near
the fuel tank? Where in the plane is it located?

Take some phenolphtalein (available from some hobby shops, drugstores)
and add just a pinch to some water and shake. When you add a solution
of some washing soda or some dilute ammonia, you get a striking change
of color from colorless to bright red/pink.
A similar experiment can be done with 'juice' from red cabbage. If you
add a very small amount of dilute ammonia to the red liquid it becomes
blue. Adding more ammonia makes it even green.
Another type of reaction which may be nice is the following:
Take a spoonfull of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate, NOT the plain
washing soda), available from drugstores. Mix with some bath-foam or
shampoo and put in a bowl. Pour some vinegar on it. Your cousin kids
will love this. You get a LOT of foam and it will get quite messy.
However, this is non-toxic and non-corrosive, which can be cleaned up
with just a towel or something like that. The experiment can be
enhanced by adding a few drops of food dye or water paint to the mix of
shampoo and baking soda, before the vinegar is added.
But, please, do not let the kids play with ammonia or washing soda.
Even dilute ammonia or washing soda, when it gets in the eye can be
really harmful.

I think you mean sodium metal and chlorine gas. Taking into account
your formulation of your question, I do not think that you should do
that experiment at home with the cousin kids. It IS dangerous. Chlorine
gas is VERY toxic and easily kills you. Sodium metal is very reactive
and easily makes a fire, which is really hard to quench.

Duh. Isn't it Salt is composed of Sodium and Chloride or Sodium
Chloride (NaCl). You mean to say the common salt can be separated
into sodium metal and chlorine gas? How do you separate the salt
into them??
On an unrelated question. Isn't it some explosives are composed
of two very reactive chemicals. Do x-rays in airport detect
them? How? If you enclose them in lead (which is to impenetrable
to xrays). Then airport are not suppose to detect them. How come
we don't hear of terrorists using lead shoes and bringing two
chemicals in each with the intend to detonate the plane (as
hinted by the future Nobel laureate Uncle Al).

quite benign and readily available ingredients. Dilute Elmer's (or
other generic white glue containing polyvinyl alcohol) 50:50 with
water. Make a saturated borax solution (20-Mule Team, for example,
readily available in most stores that have laundry detergents). Fill a
small plastic cup about 1/4-1/3 (2-3 Oz/50 mL) with the diluted glue
solution. Start adding the borax solution sparingly to the glue and
stir vigorously. The borax molecules cause a cross-linking reaction
with the polyalcohol that's quite dramatic but very safe. I'll make
you do it to see what happens. Add a few drops of food coloring to the
glue before the borax and you'll get a colored substance.
Have fun.

chloride ions, Cl-. Sodium, Na, without the +, is a very reactive
metal, which really likes to get rid of one electron. Chlorine comes in
the form of molecules, consisting of two chlorine atoms, Cl2, which is
a green gas with an exceedingly choking odour. This molecule really
wants to get its hand on two electrons, so that the chloriNe molecule
is converted to two chloriDe ions.
In equations:
Na --> Na+ + e + a_lot_of_energy
Cl2 + 2e --> 2Cl- + a_lot_of_energy
Net reaction, when sodium is brought in contact with chlorine gas:
2Na + Cl2 --> 2Na+ + 2Cl- + even_a_larger_lot_of_energy
The Na+ and Cl- combine into a solid Na+Cl-, usually written as NaCl.
But in reality this contains Na+ and Cl-.
Table salt indeed can be separated in its elements again by means of a
process called electrolysis. One way to do this is by melting the salt,
such that the Na+ and Cl- ions are capable of moving freely and putting
an electric current through the molten salt. At the anode, the
electrons are taken away from the chloride ions and then the only thing
they can do is combine to Cl2 molecules again. At the cathode,
electrons are pushed onto the sodium ions and the free metal is
obtained.
This reaction cannot easily be done at home. Melting salt is not easy
at all and is quite dangerous.
You can make chlorine, however, in small amounts, by dissolving salt in
water instead of melting it. That solution also contains Na+ and Cl-
ions. For the anode, you need a graphite rod (e.g. the thin rod in a
pencil is made of graphite, another option is the black rod in an
old-fashioned zinc/manganese battery). If you connect the graphite rod
to the + side of a 4.5 V battery and you connect a copper wire to the -
side of the battery and you drip these into a concentrated salt
solution, then you'll see bubbles. At the anode you get chlorine gas
(beware, this has a really choking smell and is toxic, but in the small
amounts you make with the battery, it is fairly safe) and at the
cathode you get hydrogen gas. You don't get sodium at the cathode,
because the electrons from the cathode can easier be pushed onto water
molecules than on sodium ions:
2H2O + 2e --> 2OH- + H2
If you don't use a graphite rod, but a copper wire instead at the
anode, then the electrons are not taken away from the chloride ions,
but they can be taken away easier from copper:
Cu --> Cu+ + e
or, especially at higher voltages,
Cu --> Cu(2+) + 2e
Making chlorine and hydrogen by means of electrolysis also may be a
nice experiment to perform with your cousin kids. However, only use low
voltage and if you let them smell chlorine, be careful with that. Do
not let them stick their nose into the beaker, but whiff some of the
gas in the direction of their nose with your hands.

Don't you think you are frowned upon if you enter a plane with lead
shoes??? Do you really think they do not ask anything if you have a
lead cylinder in your hand-bag?

pick up a book, which also contains guidelines on safety.
Really, experimenting in chemistry can be fun and very rewarding, but
please only do so if you know *beforehand* what might go wrong. I
myself also did and sometimes still do experiments at home, but I
always check up the risks and try to understand what is going on.

Hanson, do you really want people to enjoy chemistry? Then be wise and
give good suggestions, with acceptable safety guidelines and good
disposal guidelines and do more than just whining about
environmentalism. If people obey some safety-rules and environ-rules,
then home-chemistry still might also be possible in the future. Your
attitude only makes the hostile climate against chemistry (or even more
broadly, science in general) even worse.

Can one predict what chemical combinations would create explosions??
What's the chemical explanations why explosives occur the way
they do. Is it because the energy of the electrons instead of
emitting as photons become heat? Pls. give a good web site that
explains the physics and chemistry of explosives. Thanks.

BTW, hanson forgot the mix of (IIRC) Ethanol and CCl4 that can be burned on the

some problems but probably won't spoil the demo.

Chemical combinations: this is oxidation-reduction chemistry. An
oxidizer (oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, nitrate, permanganate) wants to
grab electrons from something. This something is a fuel (gasoline,
hydrogen, methane, magnesium powder, aluminum powder).
Get a good General Chemistry book from a local college bookstore if you
are truly interested.
If you confine the pure compounds in a rigid container, they detonate
when ignited, rather than simply burning.

...ahahaha.... Look at that!: Oelen, a green home experimenter
and photo dark room operator with a high school chem. ken
who' is giving chem advice to the world!... AHAHAHA... ahahaha...
Listen up and lighten up, Oelen....
People who do enjoy chemistry do have enough brains to inform
themselves about what they are going to do. Except if they are
enviro turds or little green idiots, then they wouldn't or shouldn't
do it in the first place, but go and make a computer simulation
instead. Natural chemists, if there are any left, do have a good
sense of self preservation and they do think and automatically
take appropriate cautions, information etc. as they have done
for millennia, since ever Alchemy was born, as opposed to the
modern green shits who emerged in 1970 on "earthday"...ahaha...
Home chemists use chems in such small qtys, that "good disposal
guidelines" are just a sick green joke, sung by enviro nuts like you.
Flush your 10 or 100 gr down the sink. Period. It's good as drainpipe
cleaner, getting rid of some plant root incursions and retards the slimy
buildup of aspergillus niger in your drain. But no fish nor clam will
die because of whatever you flush down at home, you green asshole.
There have been accidents and diseases caused by sick enviro rule
shit which out-do any calamities caused by home chemists, by many
orders of magnitudes! Fuck you, Oelen, for trying to scare good folks
with your green bible attitude that forces you to proselytize that:

= believe is true ... -- Paul Watson, Greenpeace, and ......

= "We make simplified, dramatic statements, and make little
= mention of any doubts we may have [about] being honest."
= -- Stephen Schneider (Stanford prof. who first sought fame as
= a global cooler, but has now hit the big time as a global warmer)

yourself, before you issue your next green and fucked up
goody-2-shoe advice. With which of the following classes would you
identify yourself with:
PS:
Modern, attributal definitions of enviro classifications:

(2) Green turd(s):... the ones who are recipients and
beneficiaries from the lootings of (1), directly or indirectly.
(3) Little green idiot(s):.. are the unpaid, well-meaning ones
who think they do something for the "environment", when in

red, purple, blue, green, yellow with different pH conditions. Vivid

They did this in grad school to introduce the grad students (at University
of Florida).
One balloon was oxygen (blue), the other hydrogen (orange).
You ain't lying about the hydrogen bang. Wow!

I once did an experiment with H2 and O2 in a stoichiometric ratio of
2:1 with hydrogen produced with electrolysis of salt and O2 made with
3% hydrogen peroxide. I mixed the gasses and bubbled the gas mixture
from a little bottle under water with some dish washing soap in it,
such that I got nice bubbles at the surface of the water. Even
*without* confinement of the gas mixture and with a few bubbles of a cm
diameter I already got a surprisingly loud BANG, as soon as I ignited
the bubbles. This is quite impressive and yes, the stories about really
loud BOOMs are true!

For more fun, make sure the helium balloon is significantly LARGER than
the hydrogen balloon, watch as they head for the hills as you approach
the helium balloon with the torch.
heh heh heh
Even better if there is such a thing as a "low pressure" balloon so the
helium balloon doesn't make that much of a pop when it bursts.

Repeat with acetylene and oxygen.
The room will go surprisingly quiet.
The blood from the ears and the wreckage are just minor side effects.

Oelen, besides your total incapability that you simply cannot
fathom my wisdom, like all those other little green idiots,
is that fact that you stirred up two old geezers, Farooq & Dirk,
whom you made bitterly complain about the scores of their
own 100 and 200 geriatric illnesses. You really should now
administer to them. Be a humanitarian and Samaritan, Oelen,
but, do NOT administer to them in your dark-room, Oelen.
Instead, you 3 ought to get together, "tip-toe thru the tulips"
and sing your beloved enviro anthem:
-- it's green, green, green
-- on the far side of the hill
-- and when we don't pollute no more
-- it will be greener still......
So, see Oelen, the moral of the story is that everbody, and
especially you, should become green, ...but of the right shade.
Like the one seen on the green backs... ahahaha... AHAHAHA..

If one can not predict what chemical combinations would create
explosions, then one should really not be mixing chemicals which might
result in explosions.
Explosions result from the rapid expansion of gases. This might come
about either as a result of gasses generated in a chemical reaction, or
expansion due to the sudden heating of gasses already present. The
more sudden the expansion, or the larger the scale, the more violent
the explosion.
To demonstrate an implosion, heat a very small volume of water in the
bottom of an aluminum soda can until it reaches temperature=100 C.
Then in one swift motion, lift the can off the heating element with
tongs, empty any remaining liquid water into a sink, and plunge the
inverted can immediately into a bucket of ice water. Wear safety
goggles when performing any demonstration of this sort, though
honestly, this one is relatively safe and not likely to result in
formation of shrapnel.
