  • glycerin

  • Could be; there was purple in the flame.

  • What was in the crucible? Potassium permanganate and glycerine?

  • maybe that was gasoline in the "water" bottle

  • Nope its not.....

  • Mm not too hard to do. Something like pure sodium or any alkali metals react to water violently. The other one. That takes a couple of minutes, looks more like a combustion reaction. Well. What I know of them. At least like I know anything XD

  • That's really cool...
