Flammable Ice

Figure this out- Ice is added to a dry Pyrex bowl and explodes into flames when a match is tossed onto it.

Spoiler-When the Ice melts the water reacts with the calcium carbide (place on the bottom, pause the video at the start) to produce acetylene gas and calcium hydroxide. The acetylene gas then explodes into flames when a match is place on top. It will continue to burn even as the ice melts because it keeps producing acetylene until the calcium carbide runs out.

@xlsubzero alcohol can certainly freeze.. any liquid can freeze, you just have to get it cold enough.. you can't freeze it in a common household freezer, but use dry ice or liquid N2 and you can... retard...

Calcium Carbide on bottom, toss ice on top, reaction makes acetylene gas, light....

[icicicles]

Parity ice, cool!
