  • "its not that big of a deal" then "WOAH" lol.

  • Seriously. It always seems like there's that one kid who wants people to believe he's bored with everything because he's done some much cool stuff and that if they find ANYthing interesting then they're just dumb. Boo to that kid.

  • Hey, exactly what kind of sodium are you using here?

  • @YourNameHere136 he was hosing it down to hopefully let it all run off, but that was a mistake.

  • @mirkthirteen y would he hose it down

  • if its 99.99% anhydrous NaOH it might, especially under pressure some sort of bottle; ja?? what i'm saying is the alkali metal is usually compromised w/ very little moisture rendering it thee caustic soda.

  • NaOH doesnt react that way with water, its just a strong base...

    The reaction shown here is:

    2Na + 2H2O --> 2NaOH + H2

    The heat of the reaction ignites the H2, causing the flames/boom.

  • your all shit its coated in shit so it dont react in your hand. harden up
