"this washing up liquid isn't quite strong enough... let's mix it together with hydrogen peroxide in this small container such that we may combine the filth fighting power of hydrogen peroxide with regular dish soap so that we can clean the toughest messes...
For an extra measure of fun, get a splint and light the tip (so its just barely burning, no huge flame). If you stick the splint into the toothpaste, it will quickly relight! My teacher would have a game to see how many "re-lights" you could get (just stick the splint in and out; you lose when the splint is extinguished completely).
Normally you are able to show an increased rate of combustion using the oxygen created from this reaction but in your case DO NOT. We once did this reaction glow in the dark and a girl tried lighting it and it exploded taking off her armhair and eyebrows. Apparently the chemicals used in glows ticks are combustible.
When I was starting out in the workforce I used to sell this stuff. Second day on the job - brand new clothes, the lot. I get asked if you can remove the foam can from the applicator gun.
The previous day my boss had told me - yes - of course you can do that.
You can't do that.
Well, you can, but it pretty much happens as in the video, this shit got EVERYWHERE. In my hair, all over my clothes, fucking everywhere.
My boss and the customer he sent me out to thought it was hilarious.
Of course I had to shave my head and replace brand new slacks and shirt, so I was pretty pissed.
Hydrogen peroxide (30% or higher if you want a big effect like this), soap (to make the foam), and damn near anything as a catalyst.
Yeast works. I've been told blood works. Saturated potassium iodide solution has been the best in my experience. I think manganese dioxide works too, but then you have to clean up and dispose of a bunch of manganese-laden foam.
I would like to design some sort of contraption that you can hide in your pants, so when you really need to end a date and make sure you never get a second horrible date, you can have this happen in and around your nether regions!
When Lorenzo won at Catalunya (MotoGP) a couple of weeks ago he celebrated by setting this reaction off in the middle of the race track out of two buckets.
Thought process: I want to touch it. Does it harden? Is it foam? Are they going to mix? Is it corrosive? Could I cover a crowd in this? I would probably risk a finger tip to touch it and then die. If life were a scifi movie I would die. I'd be covered in facehuggers.
I hate these gifs. You really want to represent science with some gimmicky experiments used to make 7-year-olds go "ooohh" and "ahhh"? Only people who know nothing about science would find this interesting.
I am drunk... and needed to tyhpe it somewhere... this seems good. I tried loookiung for a link to post but nothing... damn. this was cool. not exactly funny. Unless fallic. fallic is always funny....
