hat happens when you blow pure chlorine gas into a bowlful of molten sodium? A fire, thats what. But the smoke coming off of that fire happens to be extremely fresh common table salt (NaCl, sodium chloride) that can be used to salt a net full of popcorn suspended over the flame. That is, until the net melts and the popcorn drops into the bowl sending a shower of flaming liquid sodium balls in all directions!
In Mad Science Theodore Gray reveals how to demonstrate scientific principals through extreme experiments. He launches a toy rocket using the energy released from an Oreo cookie, ignites a phosphorous sun by suspending half a gram of white phosphorus in a globe filled with pure oxygen, whips up a batch of homemade nylon thread by linking the molecules of hexamethylenediamine and sebacoyl chloride, and gets the party started by adding 500 pounds of quicklime to water to create a homemade hot tub.
Every experiment in Mad Science is accompanied by stunning full-color photographs that provide a front-row seat to split-second chemical reactions and glorious subatomic activity. To further enhance the hands-on experience of scientific exploration, Gray includes step-by-step instructions for nearly every experiment. Following all of the safety guidelines, readers can safely recreate some of the fifty-five experiments in the book including making sinking ice cubes, building sodium acetate sculptures, and bu
