ydoaPs Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Take a bottle of diet soda and drop a Mentos in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanJ Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 If you search through this forum you will find lots of interesting experiments that are safe. If you think that there are any that are outside your understanding then I wouldn't recommend them without supervision. Are there any specific types of experiment that you would like to try?

ydoaPs Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Are there any specific types of experiment that you would like to try? Bombs and mustard gas. Those who frequent the irc channel already know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanJ Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Bombs and mustard gas. Those who frequent the irc channel already know. Well somehow I very much doubt that anyone is going to give out that kind of information anyway - at least I hope not. Thanks for the tip though. I should rephrase then - any safe kinds of experiments that you would wish to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr.syntax Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 learn some chemistry before you start doing experiments so you learn the subject. Here is one that is safe and you probably have the necessary ingredients at hand. Take one cup of vinegar and add one teaspoon of of baking soda to it. Now my question for you is to tell me what are the compounds or compound that is created when the two are mixed together. You can google search this to learn the answer. Start with this. you will get a very noticeable chemical reaction, Do it in a sink or out side. ...Dr.Syntax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walsh155 Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 my father knows alot about chemistry and i know a little but if there is any good experiments my father will help me Merged post follows: Consecutive posts mergeddoctor you said there was instructions on experiments on here if there is can you give me a link or tell me where to go on here Merged post follows: Consecutive posts mergedsodium acetate and co2???

RyanJ Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 If your father has a good understanding of chemistry as you say then why can he not provide you with some experiments that you can do? Anyone with a knowledge of chemistry beyond GCSE would know interesting (and more importantly safe) experiments that can be done at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insane_alien Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 you logged into the irc for a grand total of 2 minutes 20 seconds. not everybody is looking at the IRC window all the time. if you wait longer then the chance of recieving a response will be greater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merged post follows: Consecutive posts mergedi was talking on irc chat a few days ago im trying to talk now and no1s replying for 2 days know does anyone know why its stopped working I can see you`re quite intelligent. I think the final 3 products of this reaction are carbon dioxide CO2,sodium acetate NaC2H3O2, and water H2O. You did very well and were only wrong in that water is also one of the products of this stepped ,fairly complex chemical reaction. I am Impressed with your intelligence and desire to learn. I will do what I can to locate some useful links for you. ...Dr.Syntax ...P.S. I want you to know I have been watching for your response. I get busy with other things as you can imagine and may not always be able to get back to you all that quickly. Here is a very good website with much to learn and do in general chemistry: . Have fun and always pay strict attention to any warnings when conducting chemistry experiments. ...Dr.Syntax PS I AM SORRY THE LINK I FOUND IS NOT WORKING . I`LL FIND ANOTHER ONE This one should work :http://www.chem1.com/chemed/genchem.shtml Now when the page opens look to the upper left and you will find a small rectangle titled " On This Page " . You can pick among the different choices there and click onto it. A large amount of interesting material is available at each of these links. ...Dr.Syntax Edited October 26, 2009 by dr.syntax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 You can try boiling down some purple cabbage leaves, then after a couple minutes the purple water from the boiled cabbage will turn something acidic; red, while something basic; blue.

RyanJ Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 If you are truly interested in some nice experiments that you can do at home I have a link from my collection for you. Try some experiments from here. It's a good place to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermanntrude Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 (edited) you could try using the reaction dr syntax told you about to make a super-saturated solution of sodium acetate. These solutions will crystallise very fast, and even get a bit hot when they do so. Edited October 26, 2009 by hermanntrude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not really go for it if you have this strong interest in chemistry. A good chemist can earn a good living as a professional Chemist. Here is that website : http://www.musthighschool.com/MUST/CourseDetails/Chemistry.html . Good luck and stay in touch with the forum as I am sure many fellow members will remain interested in your progress in the very important science of CHEMISTRY. ...Dr.Syntax Edited October 26, 2009 by dr.syntax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
