-
Wow, I think I found the college I want to go to....
USM has Engish major and Media Writing for a minor - perfect for me
Plus there's a lot to do in Portland :)

the third h2o is water
-
this was cool. especially the can. except Oxygen is not flammable .
-
But the energy of the reaction causes a shock wave, this is because the reaction is so energetic that an uncontrolled expansion occurs. This is also known as an explosion.
-
the spontaneity of the rxn has nothing to do with how it implodes/explodes. Im just saying that when the 2 gases combust they'll turn into water which occupies a smaller volume.
-
Why would this implode? Oxygen and Hydrogen don't react spontaneously to form water, the reaction is one that requires energy to initiate and is very energetic once started.
-
what's the moral of this study ?
Don't build your own Oxyhydrogen generator ??
-
wouldnt the balloon with hydrogen and oxygen implode instead of explode?
Well done, the can was interesting ;)
