Thanks for advice Hermanntrude, I know that these reactions are very "sensitive." But my discussion is for their strangeness, not to make them into practice!

John, (out of the Earth) I also have another similar reaction, even easier: Na + CCl4 -> NaCl + C ? Even here, KA-BOOM, little black smoke and some salt? Simple but strange, however, reactions!

Thanks John In fact, the reaction IS explosive! I found the solution elsewhere; will produce various substances depending on conditions: soot, H2, HCl, phosgene, hexachlorobenzene, and so on. Certainly caution! Bye

(Sorry for my English), but about this reaction: Na + CHCl3 -> NaCl + ? + ? Who knows what are the stable products that are formed in addition to NaCl? Those who actually come from the tube! (...dichlorocarbene...if... not stable...!) Thank you
