Sodium and Water Experiment

Sodium + water = boom

This was an experiment done in my chemistry honors class.

Please feel free to comment - I will try to post more videos when my class does more experiments.

I'm sorry; this is a roomful of 18 year-olds doing Chemistry who've never seen a Sodium reaction?! Christ, what would've happened if they'd used a grown-up alkali metal like Potassium or Rubidium?

I first saw this reaction in a science lab when I was about 10, and even then the Sodium was a warm-up act for the Potassium.

We took a fat chunk and put it in some water, and it blew the vase to smithereens.

@chrisisangry Yes, yes Chris, we're all very impressed.
