is there anything i can do with hexamethylenetetramine, ammonium iron (III) sulfate, copper (II) sulfate, ammonium chloride, potassium hexacyanoferrate (II), calcium hydroxide, sodium hydrogen sulfate, or sodium carbonate? i got them in a chemestry set and i want to do something cool with them.

anyone?

Nope.

Those are all reasonably stable chemicals.

What did you have in mind?

>> No.4669183

Here's a fun project you can do if you're willing to spend about $10 on getting some more chemicals:

You will need:

- 2 equivalents of iron oxide (ie rust)
- 1 equivalent of aluminum powder
- Magnesium ribbon (just a little bit)

Mix the powders together, pack it into something like ceramic flower pot, stick the magnesium ribbon in it, light the ribbon on fire, and observe some motherfucking science.

Actually I got things mixed up, you need 2 moles of aluminum and 1 mole of iron oxide.

That's a very small experiment.

no OP but I have 8 pounds of rust and 3 pounds of aluminum power coming in the mail.
Quick question though, can I just light the Mg ribbon with a match or will I need something more ?

>>4669201
It'll light with a match. Have fun.

Thank you good sir. I've had the ribbon for a few weeks now and I've been wondering if there was something more to it or not

You're a fucking idiot.

Use an Mg strip if you enjoy having your hands.

That's what I said retard. You can't even light the metal powder with a flame, it's ignition point is too high. That's the whole point of the mg ribbon; when it oxidizes in air it produces a ridiculous amount of heat which is then enough to ignite the thermite mixture.
