Gas Producing Chemcial Reactions

[Kitsune 205]

If you read my ealier post "Acid Reaction" about an experiment involving The Works Toilet Bowl Cleaner and Aluminum Foil. Since I now know what I make when I do something like that, I'm gunna start a search for alternative reactions. I know of ONE kinda of alternative. Which is Baking Soda and Vinegar. I did that once, but if didn't creat enough pressure, for the Bottle to burst - we had to throw it 38 feet in the air. I know for a fact that nothing dangerous is produced when this is done - nor is it as illegal as Dry Ice and Water, or The Works and Aluminum. It's very cost inneffective and I believe my method may be flawed.

Procedure:
I fill the bottle with Baking Soda until it reaches the bottom of the label. Then, taking a vegatable bag from Meijer I stuff it into the bottle. I then fill the bag with vinager. Very ineffecient, no?


So, I came here to find assistance. Alls I need to know, two chemicals that when put togather will create a gas. Making 300 or more PSI. Or atleast 150. Thank you all!

Thank you for sharing your experiment and seeking assistance in finding alternative reactions. I would like to offer some input and suggestions for your future experiments.

Firstly, it is important to note that conducting experiments with chemicals can be dangerous and should always be done with proper safety precautions and supervision. It is also important to follow proper disposal methods for any leftover chemicals.

In regards to your experiment with Baking Soda and Vinegar, the reaction between these two chemicals does not produce any dangerous or illegal substances. However, the method you described may not be the most efficient way to create pressure. The use of a vegetable bag may not provide a tight seal, resulting in a less intense reaction. Additionally, the amount of pressure produced by this reaction may not be as high as you desire.

To achieve higher pressure, you may want to consider using other chemicals such as citric acid and baking soda, or potassium nitrate and sugar. These reactions can produce a significant amount of gas and pressure when mixed together. However, it is important to note that these reactions should be done with caution and proper safety measures.

In conclusion, while it is great to explore and experiment with different chemical reactions, it is crucial to do so safely and responsibly. I suggest doing more research and consulting with a chemistry expert before conducting any further experiments. Thank you for your interest in science and stay safe.

Thank you for sharing your experiment and alternative reactions. It's great that you are exploring different chemical reactions and their potential outcomes. However, it's important to always prioritize safety in any experiment. The reaction between The Works Toilet Bowl Cleaner and Aluminum Foil can be dangerous and should be avoided.

As for your current method with Baking Soda and Vinegar, it may not be very efficient and could potentially be harmful if not done correctly. It's always important to follow proper safety protocols and use proper equipment when conducting any experiment.

There are many different gas-producing chemical reactions, but it's important to research and understand the potential risks and safety precautions before attempting them. Some common examples include the reaction between hydrochloric acid and magnesium, or the reaction between baking soda and citric acid. It's important to carefully follow the instructions and measurements to ensure a safe and successful experiment.

If you are unsure about any aspect of an experiment or need assistance, it's always best to consult with a teacher or experienced chemist. They can provide guidance and ensure that proper safety measures are in place.

Keep exploring and learning about chemical reactions, but always prioritize safety above all else. Good luck with your future experiments!
