budullewraagh Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 speaking of peroxides and superoxides, i was doing a chem competition yesterday (i went in alone without a partner and won the event with a perfect score:)))) that involved using calcium metal. i reacted the calcium with water and it bubbled, but not too vigorously, then it stopped. half an hour later i was done with the lab practical and the questions and talking to the chem teacher supervising the event when i snapped my fingers once and noticed that at that very instant the calcium started reacting again, much more vigorously than before. i figured that it was an oxide/peroxide/superoxide layer that was broken through at the very moment i snapped my fingers. cool occurrence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r1dermon Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 wow, so you're saying that the little vibration of you snapping your fingers caused the calcium to react again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budullewraagh Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 potentially, yes, unless it was impeccable timing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilded Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Hmmh... bud, I don't recommend snapping your fingers next to a large batch of NI3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budullewraagh Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 funny you mention NI3...the iodine i made is still lacking, as my chlorine generator didn't work perfectly and my H2O2/H2SO4 test almost killed me. i'll finish the H2O2/H2SO4 today and see what that gives me. i'm not too into explosives tho.

YT2095 Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 from a gardening center. it`s used as a dusting powder to prevent mould on over winter starage of alliums etc... and also as a PH adjuster, but it comes as sulpher chips for that use.
