When you get a nice column of bubbles, touch it with a candle taped to a meterstick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides Francium has a much better effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I almost got hit by reacting sodium on Tuesday. We were doing a demo with sodium, hydrogen peroxide, and water. He underestimated how well the H2O2 would work, so we got a bit of an explosion with flaming sodium 'shards'. Now there are holes in the floor about two inches away from where I was standing. I'm actually surprised I didn't take any myself, but God knows I would have felt it if I had. (Our teacher doesn't care about the chem lab anymore, because it's getting renovated this summer. It's a good thing, because the floor looks like it took a shotgun blast.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
