metallic potassium (magnesium oxide impurities + sand) in water. Note the color of the flame. Believe me, it's way more impressive in person.

  • So this is testing the product of the smelting reaction by throwing it in water? It looks like it jumped out of the bucket when it hit the water... pretty explosive! Furthermore, there's certainly a blue burn that could indicate potassium? It could be cool to look at it/take pictures with a diffraction grating.

    Nicely done! *claps*

  • The bluish hue is probably from leftover magnesium. In person you could see much more purple.
