Kitchen Trash Can | Sodium and Water in a 40 gallon trash can

Sodium and Water in a 40 gallon trash can


Sodium and water mix violently and boom in trash can. Na does a do-se-do with water and yields NaOH. The free Hydrogen ignites in the exothermic reaction’s heat. Definitely worth donating my trash can to science.

    This is what High school chemistry should be, not 5 weeks of nonstop “stoichy”

    I liked chemistry as a kid because I thought all it was was blowing sh*t up.

    Great video!

    Some might not think thats a very powerful explosion – but it is. To have enough energy to displace and explode 40 gallons of water (approximately 320 pounds of water) and bust up a tough rubbermaid trashcan, that takes a LOT of power. I’d run like a son-of-a-bitch, too!
