Sorry my typing grammar comes from a year on AIM and i type horribly when im angry and fustrated. Hydrofluoric acid?.. its a glass cleaner and you know it, you can buy it from some janitorial stores. The cleaner contains HF and water, thats all, and concentrating it is easy. I needed the acid for a test for shock quartz. i accidentally knocked a bottle over when i walked past. It was mistake. Anyway the acid happened to be on the table for about 8 hours so back off P.S. By the way im sorry for the grammar, my English teacher would skin me for writing like that, lol

oops crap i hate when i make stupid mistakes sorry YT2095 and anyone else gallium is a metaloid im just trying to emphasise the fact that too much of anything is not good just what my teacher told me last year "dont eat the elements"

omg i need to know why because its gonna make me try it if i dont know just to find out plz plz plz im dumb juts tell me lol

rofl why in the hell would you eat gallium.... any doctor will tell you and excess of any of the transition metals in your body.. any metals in general will kill you... that just stupid... by the way... howd it taste?

hey yo invadar gir everyone enjoys a big bang ever so often its not like ima pyro

http://www.scienceforums.net/forums/showthread.php?t=11858 this link shows the moderator here telling some other people how to ignite thermite and you warned me for hinting on uses for nitric acid?

i violated a code yet you tell people how to make nitrogen triodide?

idk why do you ask

you can actually do what i did witha camera and a projection screen.. and i apreciate it if you lay off my back untill you see the evidence thats its BS... try it yourself if you dont belive me

i guess i should have read the thread more carefully, im not posting lies. a haldf a kilogram of magnesium and a liter of silver nitrate burt a shadow ontot he wall... i have pictures i can email or send via mail. they arent my shadow but its a flash burn im very sorry about all this its hard not to exaggerate whne you are online. im just 13 and want to be noticed:D

where and how does the actor have to breathe the poison gas.... if i can remember theres this formula for a pure oxygen and water vapor ..... its great and looks liek a very very thick cloud of dry ice smoke. it uses H2O2 i just forgot the formula. its great and you can use very small amounts for a large cloud

i like the smell of chloroform its very strange slightly sweet... however the most disurbingly disgusting thing to smell is this small puddel of water behind our trash cans that combines the smell of maggoty rotten meat and rotten vegetables. we actually had one of the cleaners vomit in his gas mask from the odor

sorry i was being attcked by typo bunnies.... our school has barely any safety requirements. we used conc. H2SO4, HCl, burning magnesium... a demo backa bit was a fiery mixture of potassium permaganate and glycerin. our teacher has even shown us some reactions of the alkali metals such as sodium with water. our school is off the hook!

if your making some explosives for the fourth stick with the nitric acid it makes a bigger bang with the right formulas

id lower the minimum bid its a bit much. many scientists and chemists love to byuy things like that try putting it under lab supplies too ( its under business and industrial somewhere) its a high traffic area

what kinda worries me is why you need thermite..... i mean its fun on the fourth but thermites still a bit dangerous...

any amount of pure completely pure metal in your body is not good for you and yes the liquid gallium doesnt vaporizae but can be pulled in very slowly by both cappliary action and osmosis. im not saying its not safe im just saying be careful its easy to over look a small drops on your hands and arms when you take a bite into your sandwich. by the way im not saying dont play with gallium i do all the time, just be careful and wear gloves

i spilled a liter of HF on my table once there was jagged hole in my table and a 5 inch divet on my concrete floor

nope im just a nerd

yah u knwo at our school the safety requierments are nil we were doing glyserina nd potassium permaganate demos allong with mnay conc sulphiric acid experiments that even the students did. some kid found some sodium ina closet once and the had to cancel using it in demos as aan alkali metal

i wouldnt advise palying with potassium permagnate u ad that to glycerin and u got a time bomb waiting to happen

would never play with phosphorus its much too unstable btu still fun. however if you still play with it and you know what your are doing be aware the lethal dose is like in micrograms

i doubt the aluminum torch is brighter than a magnesium flash, i did this in my lab and flash burnt my shadow onto the wall.... id advise not use anything as unstable as the aluminum torch as stated above as well as any of the alkali metals thats just plain stupid. stick with magnesium and other Alk Earth metals or your gonna get hurt by the flame or the fumes

i know it is very possible because ive done it before on ocassions i just wanna know if theres a better way to get it working because the last time i tried my way it melted and combusted in my face

chemical equations are a balanced little show of how two chemical rearrange themselves. youll learn this stuff ina little bit i wouldnt go online for advice ask your teacher he/ she could probably explain it better than over the internet
