Hi, currently I also do some experiments with NaOH, just looking for info here and found this topic. About a year ago, I also disassembled fireworks, so that silvery stuff in your fireworks that reacts with NaOH is probably an alkali metal, like strontium or lithium or more likely aluminum. These guys are famous for their shiny look, how they react with bases like NaOH, and for making fireworks light up in different colors. The black stuff left behind? That could be an oxide. As for the gas, it might be hydrogen or something with sulfur in it. If you're still not sure, I'd say hit the books or read some online materials like https://edubirdie.com/docs/harvard-university/chem-40-inorganic-chemistry you're never too old to learn, trust me! Just remember to be careful when messing around with chemicals and stick to the safety rules. It is better to be more careful with flammable substances (unfortunately, I know this from my own experience) But I think in general it's a problem to find information about it on the Internet, because fireworks are easily accessible and therefore become a great material for research

Can you specify what kind of machine you are working with, so that we can understand what temperature you are working with? If we talk about which reaction will give the most, then this is the formula. You also mentioned the smell of bleach… The presence of an odor may indicate the presence of excess chlorine or chloramines. If you are using electrolysis, it is worth adjusting it, but if you have used another method, it is better to review it or choose another one. If you want to understand it better and in more detail, I recommend reading general lectures on inorganic chemistry. Alternatively, you can search on the net, and you may even find something that interests you specifically. Also, you asked about the formula that will give the most stable compound... in general, HOCl itself is not stable enough, and even more so over time, it will start to decay. The only option for stabilization would be to add stabilizers

Back in school, I wasn't really a fan of the books we had to read, but getting to uni gave me a whole new love for modern lit. It just connects with how fast-paced and crazy our world is now, unlike the old-school classics. You should totally check out "The Vanishing Half" by Brit Bennett (2020). It's a deep dive into who we are and the messy issue of race. And don't miss "Such a Fun Age" by Kiley Reid (2019), which takes a hard look at privilege and societal stuff. These new-age stories are pretty refreshing, not like the usual stuffy academic stuff we're used to.

I've never thought about such things. Personally, I have several pairs of fairly cheap sneakers, but even so, I clean them as they get dirty. I have one pair of fairly good quality shoes, but even they are not cleaned in any special way)))

Hi, I'm new here) just finished this Mine!: How the Hidden Rules of Ownership Control Our Lives by Michael A. Heller and James Salzman. It was my first time reading not about science or history, it was a pleasant experience
