What elements can create explosions?
Fires and explosions require three elements in order to occur (the ‘fire triangle’): oxygen, fuel and heat.
Which compound can be used as explosive?
Trinitrotoluene (TNT), a pale yellow, solid organic nitrogen compound used chiefly as an explosive, prepared by stepwise nitration of toluene.
Which element is the most explosive?
Azidoazide azide is the most explosive chemical compound ever created. It is part of a class of chemicals known as high-nitrogen energetic materials, and it gets its “bang” from the 14 nitrogen atoms that compose it in a loosely bound state. This material is both highly reactive and highly explosive.
How do you make a foam explosion?
You only need a few materials to make a foam volcano.
- 1/2 cup of liquid hydrogen peroxide.
- 10 drops of liquid food coloring.
- 1 tablespoon of liquid dish soap.
- 1 packet of dry yeast.
- A 16-ounce plastic soda or water bottle OR a bucket that size.
- A small cup to hold your yeast and at least 3 tablespoons of warm water.
What are two chemicals that explode when mixed?
Hydrogen peroxide/acetone mixtures when heated in the presence of an acid. May cause explosions. Hydrogen peroxide/acetic acid mixtures. May explode upon heating. Why is mixing chemicals dangerous?
What do you need to make an explosion?
You’ll need 30% hydrogen peroxide, dish soap, food coloring, dried yeast, water, a funnel, and a 2 liter (0.5 US gal) soda bottle. All of these materials can be found at big box stores, pharmacies, and online. It’s also important to have adult supervision during this demonstration.
How to make an explosion with hydrogen peroxide?
The stronger (high concentration or percentage) the hydrogen peroxide you use, the bigger the explosion will be…but be careful: hydrogen peroxide can easily burn you! [3] When you pour it in, use a funnel and get help from an adult. Add some dish soap. Pour 1–2 tablespoons (15–30 mL) of liquid dish soap into the soda bottle.
What happens when two substances are mixed together?
In simplest terms, a chemical change (or chemical reaction) occurs when two substances are mixed together and transform into a third substance. Not all substances react chemically when mixed together, however.
