potassium + water
if you mix potassium with water you will have an explosion but the fumes are flammable or potassium permanganate+ glycerine. | Quote: | Originally posted by jimmyboy
im looking at different reactions that start a fire when you add water..
aluminum powder + silver nitrate
zinc powder + ammonium nitrate + ammonium chloride
aluminum powder + sodium peroxide
any others come to mind?
aluminum - zinc and magnesium powder could be used interchangeably in most of these i would think..

Hello,
I had found a cool one involving cerium ammonium nitrate, potassium bromate and malonic acid. I copied the text from the ACS safety notes page and it
can be found here:

When I was a kid, 40 years ago, I had a teaspoon or sodium peroxide mixed with aluminum powder. I added a drop of water and it went off in a flash
that left me half blind for a while and with a white face and almost no eyebrows. Cant remember if I wore safety glasses but my eyes recovered
quickly.

When I was about eleven I bought some calcium hypochlorite 70% and found it burned with a lot of things. Cox glow fuel turned the granules a pretty
orange and then it burst into crackling flames. But with sulfur it would light on fire when sprinkled with water. But later I learned it didn't need
water. I had put some of the mix in a short wide mouth plastic jar of sublime sulfur bought at a pharmacy, perhaps a tablespoon or so of the mix.
Then I showed it to my 21 year older brother this stuff that lights on fire when sprinkled with water I said. Just as soon as he had unscrewed the lid
and tilted the jar to glance at it it flashed which resulted in a few specks on his glasses and a few tiny dots/burns on his forehead. I had powdered
the pool chlorine which made it go faster as well.
So after a few wet washcloths on his face he remarked "very funny" to which I felt badly for not knowing it would do that. My mother was on the phone
with my dad who was overseas at the time and having witnessed the event, thankfully didn't relay the fireworks to my dad, although her body language
would have.
Oh those wonder years ...
