3000th Topic !! Ohhh Yeeeaaahh
Hi Geeks,
This is the 3000th topic of "Chemistry in General" Woooooooo !!!!
Discussions on: How to celebrate it Chemically?
Lets celebrate it with some bangs and booms. Explosives, i mean weaker ones.
So which explosive is your favorite, and do you know how to synthesize it??

One of my favorites is a mixture, that is not actually an explosive, but it burns off brilliantly.
Its a mixture of KClO3 and powdered Sugar. Additions of some other salts like CuCl2 or CaCl2 will also give a colorful flame

I will tie a disposable vinyl glove to the compressed air tap and open the valve slightly so it blows up like a balloon and bursts.
Childish, but fun and about as safe an explosion as you can get.

A fun thing me and my mate like doing is bout 50 mls of HCl in a coke bottle and add aluminium foil into it... Fun and loud... Dangerous as hell...
Coke bottle may hit you, hot HCl could splash on you, inhalation of a lot of hydrogen gas, gas could ignite making a larger explosion... Another
mixture I like is just plain old black powder, easy to make, fun to use

In honor of this momentous event, I will perform a fascinating biochemical reaction that will involve converting ethanol into sugar using my liver.
Cheers!
