does anyone know what reaction this is??

internet, get this guy a cookie

[–]shorts02blue 4 points5 points ago

Did anyone else read this and immediately wonder...who confused it with the Marshmallow Experiment?

[–]nmezib 1 point2 points ago

Oxygen gas

Honey, get the lighter!

[–]animal_chin 17 points18 points ago

It's called elephant toothpaste. The sudden volume change is caused by H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) --> H2O and O2. You can do this experiment at home with normal household chemicals, but it is a lot more fun if you have hydrogen peroxide that is more concentrated that what you would normally find in the supermarket.

[–]chibling 6 points7 points ago

My dad (chemist) wouldn't give me the good kind of H202, and I got in trouble for asking his friends if they would give me any. Most parents foster an interest in science, but noooooooo...

You're not serious, are you?

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

What is the concentration of the KI? I have done this demo several times, but never with these awesome results...

[–]animal_chin 2 points3 points ago

Well normally KI is a solid salt so you can make the solution any concentration you want. I'm not sure what the standard concentration is though. I wouldn't think it would matter too much because the KI is just a catalyst so it isn't consumed in the reaction.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

It's still basic kinetics. The higher the concentration of the KI, the greater the reaction rate. Remember, catalysts don't sit idly by in a reaction, they are consumed as a reactant and produced as a product.

I could test with various concentrations of the KI, but concentrated hydrogen peroxide is expensive on a limited public school budget.

[–]VaginaTractor 1 point2 points ago

Found this about elephant toothpaste. The more KI you have, the faster the reaction should happen. As it says, saturate the solution. KI has a solubility in water at room temperature around 145g/100mL of water. So, add something in that ballpark and scale up the volume if needed.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Awesome! Thanks!!

[–]sjs 1 point2 points ago

I tried my liquid soap and regular grocery store hydrogen peroxide, no dice. :(

[–]namfonos 1 point2 points ago

as if not fapping for a week is even possible

[–]Lightfoot1678 0 points1 point ago

No, but I want to know too.

I didn't realize Texas Tech was such a big fan of ICP.

[–]zenazure 0 points1 point ago

Texas, a big fan of ICP

FTFY

[–]anonymoustroll 5 points6 points ago

I haven't watched American TV for a long while now...

...care to provide some background that explains a large black man manically ringing a bell to a white face painted audience in Texas?

[–]tsarzan 2 points3 points ago

This is happening at a Texas Tech University football game where the guy ringing the bell is trying to get the crowd to cheer loudly for their team.

[–]anonymoustroll 4 points5 points ago

I find his team spirit lacking...

[–]Beretot 18 points19 points ago

You're free to do whatever the damn you wish, in fact, feeling bad for failing is extremely looked down on over there.

Have you actually tried it, or just spreading stuff you heard from a random dude on the internet?

As a guy who has successfully completed the 90-day challenge, I'd like to say that not once I was pressured to keep going.

[–]QwertyYouEyeOp 0 points1 point ago

Why is this guy getting downvoted? He's simply contributing to the conversation.

[–]ninjannie 2 points3 points ago

Don't worry I helped a brotha out-- edit: with my up vote.

In case that wasnt clear.

[–]ScarAmanga16 10 points11 points ago

What are the used materials?

[–]lack_of_ideas 20 points21 points ago

His penis and his hand.

[–]sinistersmiley 3 points4 points ago

Hydrogen peroxide and potassium iodide.

[–]TheGrandWarlock 4 points5 points ago

i like the steam. i can relate.

Please try not to submit reaction gifs

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you tried not to submit this, but failed. That's a bummer.

[–]payne6 6 points7 points ago

you do science?

[–]brosenfeld 2 points3 points ago

He's Bill Nye, Jr.

[–]GodofWar224 0 points1 point ago

Or malfoy.

[–]WhatIsJeopardy 2 points3 points ago

How could one possibly know?

[–]lickachiken 2 points3 points ago

complete with satisfactory reaction expression

[–]notsurewhatiam 1 point2 points ago

Or not having sex for a week.

[–]couldntderp 0 points1 point ago

Nope. This is reddit.

[–]RouseHouse1013 0 points1 point ago

Only a week?

[–]BleLLL 4 points5 points ago

Looks about right.

[–]SebbeTheAwesome 1 point2 points ago

So fucking true, man!

[–]GodofWar224 1 point2 points ago

I guess malfoy opened up the chamber of secrets

[–]EvilCalamari 1 point2 points ago

The steam at the end is what got me

[–]Chanterlad 1 point2 points ago

Even though it's a repost, I think it does a very good job of expressing the idea, both from the guy's face and the chemical reaction itself. Upvote for you, sir.

[–]wick36 7 points8 points ago

It's been 9 times in the last 2 days. =/

[–]Bigbenxxxx37 13 points14 points ago

No, i think he said it was his first time in a week.

[–]mamjjasond 0 points1 point ago

Yea it's amazing how that guy can do it over and over again and it always turns out just as good as ever.

[–]BoneyT 0 points1 point ago

Fuck yeah science

[–]angiehawkeye 0 points1 point ago

It's steaming...

[–]Nicxtrem99 0 points1 point ago

Holy shit I just did this today.....

[–]ShoilinMonk 0 points1 point ago

What did he use so I can try??

[–]alecyo12 0 points1 point ago

U will need saftey goggles

[–]Phoequinox 0 points1 point ago

Complete with the spasm at the end.

[–]RaffyLikesTea 0 points1 point ago

And it even steams.

[–]FUCK_YOU_REPOSTER 0 points1 point ago

FUCK YOU

[–]GFandango 0 points1 point ago

so you mix chemicals after not fapping for a week?

i guess you should fap instead man

[–]inig0m0nt0ya -5 points-4 points ago

Only idiots conduct science experiments with chemicals without proper eye protection.

[–][deleted] 11 points12 points ago

Only idiots conduct science experiments with chemicals without proper eye protection.

The products of that reaction are water and oxygen, hardly going to harm your eyes at room temperature

[–]pseudocaveman 1 point2 points ago

Even still, complacency should never prevent proper practices.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Oh yeah, I'm not advocating the spurning of eye protection in general, but in this particular case it's unnecessary to either use eye protection or bitch about the lack of it.

[–]anonymoustroll 0 points1 point ago

Soap and I- with the possibility of residual H2O2 as lifted away from the catalyst by the foam. Oh, did I mention heat?

[–]greenbee202 -5 points-4 points ago

HARDLY!!!!! HARDLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HARRRRDDDDLLLLYYYYY!!!!!!! ahhhhhh :)

[–]BlazerMorte 3 points4 points ago

Don't be a dick.
