@jiima, yes it does, we watched this video in school and our science teacher did a demonstration on our football field, not like this though it was a small amount,
you said raw sodium! raw sodium will explode in like .001 seconds in a paile of water, and in about a minute if un protected when exposed to normal air
We did this in science class yesterday.. The teacher put a little tiny bit in, and we were like 'Put it all in!!' and then BOOM... there's a hole in the desk now :D
@TheHKY09 A few molecules of water in the air can't possibly react with every molecule of sodium in the brick. There's just not enough water in our skin or in the air to do much with the sodium, especially given its protective oxide layer.
Sodium is dangerous, literally. Not smart to get this stuff anywhere near your bare skin. You go to wash your hands with any amount of this on your skin and you could end up with severe burns.
Make sure to wear heavy gloves and it's proabably best to dispose of anything that comes in contact with pure sodium.
@FUCKENSCREAM Simple, when sodium and water combine, the bonds between hydrogen and oxygen break, now alone, both these gases are highly flammable. Along with the reaction a large amount of heat is created. Now what happens when heat combines with flammable gas? You guessed it... BOOM!
@DaReggaeMAN77 Possibly true for high quality, lab grade sodium. But industrial grade sodium metal in bulk amounts is dirt cheap; a few dollars per pound. You'll probably pay more for transporting the sodium safely and all the permits and things than for the sodium metal itself.
Your sodium is not "raw" this substance is highly diluted, true sodium would be an instant ignite; plus true raw sodium is a powder substance not a waxy soapy substance. Source: I've used pure chemist grade sodium that comes in the actual bottle.
@ItsTechBlitz Sodium is a soft metallic solid at room temperature which can be cut with a knife, though I wouldn't describe it as "soapy". Like many other metals (such as aluminum or magnesium), reactions happen much faster in powdered form due to the greatly increased surface area.
The sodium itself doesn't burn. This reaction creates large amounts of hydrogen gas and is exothermic, so when enough hydrogen and heat accumulate it burns rapidly or explodes. It isn't quite instant.
Also interestingly that probably means that more Sodium doesn't necessarily mean bigger boom. As soon as you get the right concentration of hydrogen and heat together it should all go off at once.
in my science class my teacher put sodium in water in a beaker right below the bell speaker and it blew up and there were sparks in the speaker so now it doesnt work as well :)
You know sodium explodes off the surface right? So the more surface area the bigger the explosion. So I suggest squishing the sodium to get a bigger piece in terms of surface area.
In the 1950's the U.S. Navy built a submarine with a liquid sodium cooled nuclear reactor! In other words technology that mixed thousands of pounds of hot sodium with vast amounts of radioactivity and put it all underwater. It worked fine - no accidents. But after a couple of years the Navy decided to use other kinds of reactors. This video helps explain what they were worried about.
I've always wanted to try sodium in water, but this wasn't as impressive I as pictured it. i just remember my junior high science teacher saying that it could blow a building in half; guess that was just to discourage us kids.
@denelson83 well that still gives a chance to experimentation without taking so much risks LOL let´s forget taking it inside in any way...XD btw wich one is the toxicity level of the sodium in such state?
My dad was telling me about how he did this in year 11 (a long time ago) when the teacher left the classroom. they put a huge mound of it in water, it exploded and the entire classroom was filled with smoke.
@jiima, yes it does, we watched this video in school and our science teacher did a demonstration on our football field, not like this though it was a small amount,
