Okay so the first few I know are: Sodium + Oxygen, Hydrazine Methanol + Hydrogen Peroxide, vinegar + sodium bicarbonate, etc. What other materials viontly react with each other? :D

sodium and oxygen?? Salt and air?

Salt is Sodium Chloride, but pure sodium reacts violently. Its properties are changed when it bonds with chloride.

Water and air.

Water under high pressure and high temperature will explode into steam upon contact with air at sea level pressures.

How about any chemicals that do not require pressurization or any kind of procedures to prepare? Think of it this way, if I had two test tubes: one with chemical A and the other with chemical B, and I pour them together and they explode.

Mentos and diet Coke, seriously.

I'll give you a VERY good one if you promise to try it! :D

Oh - and just before you do, please designate someone to come on here and report the results. ;)

I am very catious with chemicals and I will not be holding them when I mix them. Or at least I will get someone else to do it! :p

You have got to be the biggest asshole I have encountered on this forum.

What makes you say that? Can't you tell it was just a joke? Sheesh! Never mind... no sense of humor. :shrug:

You've just never seemed like the joking type. So I thought you were posting a rude joke. "yeah why don't I just kill myself with chemicals, hahahahahahaha!" :rolleyes:

LOL

This thread is fantastic !! :D

Sodium and water.. ok, it's the oxygen that sets it off. But I recall that the heat actually splits the water into hydrogen and Oxygen.. (?)

Pretty close - close indeed. :) The oxygen that comes from the water isn't actually all that important since there's already plenty of it in the air. It's the fact that hydrogen is liberated along with enough heat present that's the whole key.

Mentos and diet Coke, seriously.

I've tried that before! Put some mentos in your mouth, chew them a little bit, and then drink diet coke. Hilarious!

Is sulfuric acid flammable? I've always wondered about that.

Nope, I have my moments like anyone else. I thought you would be able to see by the emphasis I put on it along with the grin and wink. I don't want ANYONE hurting themselves! If they do it through their own foolishness that's one thing - but it won't happen because of something I've told them to do. Never.

Also works with regular sugar. I think it's the sugar in the mentos that causes the reaction :)

So tell me, Read-Only, what are these chemicals then? I was actually curious when you said you know of some.

You have got to be the biggest asshole I have encountered on this forum.

Besides yourself?

Is sulfuric acid flammable? I've always wondered about that.

No.
Although sulfuric acid is non-flammable, contact with metals in the event of a spillage can lead to the liberation of hydrogen gas. The dispersal of acid aerosols and gaseous sulfur dioxide is an additional hazard of fires involving sulfuric acid.

Cool arguement.

Ammonia + bleach = mustard gas. Do not try this at home, ever!

Not quite explosive though ;)

Cool arguement.

You are right, I kind of reacted immaturely to that joke, I was mad about something else and that joke set me off. Sorry if I offended you, Read-only.

Do I know you?

Sort of. You walked in on me and your mother one night when you were four years old. Do you want me to explain to you what we were doing?

Not quite explosive though ;)

But extremely dangerous nevertheless.

True :)

Dammit, I knew it! I am exactly four years older than my sister! I had a feeling she isn't realted to me! :D

No offense taken - I can see where you were coming from. :)

No, but you have no idea how bored I am.

Fair enough, I guess.. lol

potassium and water

technically a salt is a thing made up of a metal and non metal

ask James R...maybe he knows

Mercury fulminate is a pretty awesome contact explosive.

Sulfuric acid and water - if you mix them in the right order.

Oh, another point, you can not make mustard gas by mixing bleach and ammonia.

The agent commonly referred to as mustard gas is HD Mustard gas, a Sulfur mustard, essentialy it is a Thioether (bis-(2-chloroethyl)sulfide). There are also H, HT, HL, and HQ Sulfur mustards, but they're blends of HD and other substances.

There are some Nitrogen Mustards, but again, they're all di-chloro tert-amines (apart from one - tris-(2,chloroethyl) amine. So the claim that you can mix Sodium Hypochlorite and Ammonium Hyrdoxide together to produce mustard gas is erroneous.

What it does produce, however, is chloramine, a substance that is violently unstable, except in dilute aq solution. Chloramine gets used as a disinfectant, and in water treatment.

Nitrogen Mustard is itself an organic chloramine, but again, bare in mind that "Mustard Gas" refers to a specific Sulfur mustard.

hehe my favorite back in high school was "santeen" bombs.....

basicly hydrochloric acid cointaining chemical, like the industrial grade toilet bowl cleaners....... and aluminum foil......and a 20'z pop bottle......

loads of cheep fun......

Flourine and Ceasium

Don't do it

Isn't Cesium radioactive?...or is there an element called Ceasium,
Also, try exposing Francium to air see what happens.

caesium and water - you gotta store it in oil though :(

Okay so the first few I know are: Sodium + Oxygen, Hydrazine Methanol + Hydrogen Peroxide, vinegar + sodium bicarbonate, etc. What other materials viontly react with each other? :D

Sulfuric acid and water - if you mix them in the right order.

Maybe you should say "the wrong order."

What about those experiments with alkali metals in water?

http://youtube.com/watch?v=m55kgyApYrY&feature=related

Some of these actually exploded on contact.

Flourine and Ceasium

Don't do it

Not many people can do it!

Fluorine and cesium probably would not give you as potent an explosion as water and cesium unless you did something fancy. You have to get the components of the explosion together. When cesium and water mix, blobs of molten metal are fired through the water and spread out really fast, like a fuel-air bomb. There is enough containment to hold the force of the explosion together with the mixture long enough to force much more mixing of the chemicals. This takes place slow enough to do a thorough job and fast enough that the explosion looks like it takes place simultaneously.

Well, that's a matter of perspective isn't it ;) What a sensible chemist considers the wrong order, someone trying to deliberately create an explosion would consider the right order.
