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.

@xxDEADxJONOHxx francium idiot
lol get a whole bunch of sodium and bring it to school give it to ur friends and tell them to drop them into every toilet in the school at the same time that would be awesome
@xxDEADxJONOHxx it will blow up the school or more :3
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!
USA USA USA!!!!
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!
