Ocean Test Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Is a 1kg bag of Samarium shot pellets, in a nonferromagnetic state (not combined with other elements to form a magnet), if submerged in ocean water, dangerous to the human body? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cuthber Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 It would be less dangerous to the human body than, for example, submerging the human in the ocean. Samarium will react with water and produce hydrogen. Hydrogen isn't toxic, but it forms an explosive mixture with air. Why do you ask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
