I love doing experiments myself but I can't think of many

Can you give me some examples!!

Is there any website where I can find different experiments.

Thanks

yes, Here!

 

I don`t suppose you used our Search Engine did you?

 

it might also be helpful if you specify an Area of interest too

As a kid with a chemistry set, I discovered that sodium nitrite and sulfur when mixed are easily ignited to burn with a beautiful yellowish-orange color.

sulphur emits a blue flame when burnt (and becomes a red liquid, good for tricking teachers, ahh sir I've cut myself) I think you may have been burning sodium as oppose to sodium nitrate, as under the old flame test sodium burns a vibrant yellowey orange... as oppose to sodium nitrate which is un-flamable

NitrIte and NitrAte of sodium are Both oxidizers, Sulpher is a Reductor. they Will react.

Verry usefull thread

YT, while I'm thinking of it, (old age dementia, you know), many pyrotechnic mixtures require a bit of sulfur to enable the mixture to take fire from the "spit" of a black powder fuse. One that comes to mind is the commonly used potassium perchlorate-aluminum mix; without a dash of sulfur, it's very difficult to initiate.

 

How does the presence of sulfur allow the reaction to begin so much more easily? imp

um, try using fruits as source of electricity or using mahogany leaf extract as molluscicide<did i spell it right?> well, the extract works for golden kuhol and snails..i don't know what it still does

a few fun things

 

1 youll need gel caps calcium carbide liquid soap, and water for this

fill 1 gel cap with calcium carbide(aka bangsite i belive) set that aside, then make a LAYER of soap on top of the water then place the gel cap in the water and watch all the bubbles form, then if you really want you can make a loud bang by "safely" trowing a match into the bubbles

 

OR

 

grind up some KNO3 and sugar (2-1) and watch all the lilac flames and smoke pour out upon ignition, if its contained well enough this can be use in small cannons

 

OR

 

you could make a hails rocket which use inline fins which are curved to spin the rocket giving it stabillity

This is a good expirement if you have the materials

It’s fairly simple

Have a mixture of potassium iodide mixed with water. Then pour a mixture of lead nitrate and water. It makes this pretty yummy mixture of yellow lead iodide, it looks like lemon juice and makes you want to drink it soo bad – DO NOT DRINK – TOXIC.

 

and if you heat it and cool it it forms these sparkling crystals that float in the lead iodide
