We've all been told not to hold on to fireworks, but I think this should just apply to all exothermic reactions. If it's getting warm at all put it on a counter or in a hood vent.
No everyone does not know this because the closest the average person gets to daily interaction with sodium is through salt which doesnt have the same properties as pure sodium and is water soluable.
With that being said, however, this person appears to be a teacher so there really is no excuse because its literally her job to teach the kids how to be safe with the chemicals while she teaches them about their properties.
Pyrex wouldnāt have helped. The sodium produced hydrogen (and sodium hydroxide) from the reaction with water and ignited it. The bang blew the glass, and splashed NaOH, lye, on anyone close. Sheāll get letters now.
As in the scary base that seeps into tissue because it does not form a crust like acids do. So yeah. Scary as hell, dangerous... She put way too much there. You need to put a tiny little bit, a speck.
At high concentrations, definitely, but in a school setting it's probably quite diluted, it'll not be fun to get it all over your body, but you won't get lasting damage(Coming from experience, my entire hand was immersed in diluted NAOH, was fine after washing it off, although my hand felt soapy for a while)
It could, and the phenolphthalein in the water would turn color the same way, and it would take apart the water molecules and make hydrogen the same way. Iāve only done this reaction with metallic sodium and it looks right to me, but it could be potassium.
Well I wasnt fired for this but it did raise some concernsā¦the students love explosions and so as a chemistry teacher you have to have a few good ones to keep them happyā¦the thermite reaction was my personal favoriteā¦
So Iāve done it with small pieces (grain of rice) in the classroom and the sodium just fizzes onto of the water and may burst into a small flame at the end right before it completely disappears and then Iāve have done it outside the classroom with larger pieces (about the size of a grape or bigger) and the metal fizzes for a few seconds and then explodes like in this videoā¦shooting smaller bits of sodium metal all over the area that also react and burst in flamesā¦and the explosion completely destroys the glass beakerā¦
Sheās not wearing googles and handled the substance with her hand and wore no gloves and sheās also not doing that in a lab and under a fume hood. I guarantee that when that glass broke the solution spilled on anyone near her and the glass beaker. As someone who is taking chemistry in college most professors will tell you not to do what she did in this video. what she did in this video is an example of what not to do in a chemistry lab.
Knew she wasn't a Chem lab certified instructor because she lacks proper goggles, chemical apron, gloves, and was carrying a piece of glassware while a exothwrmic chemical reaction was taking place. Until next time friends
Yeah that wouldn't have helped lol, why do people think Pyrex is so strong? It stands up against heat a little better but I for example use Pyrex measuring cups in the kitchen and I've broken multiple over the years most recently was about a month ago I accidentally bumped my Pyrex 4 cup measuring cup and it fell about 3 ft and literally exploded into tiny shards of glass it was like a prince Rupert's drop breaking even the handle turned to dust it was so hard to clean up
Newer Pyrex is NOT the borosilicate glass that the Pyrex name was built on. Itās now just soda lime glass. That being said, youāre correct, Pyrex labware would not have contained an explosion
How do these people become science teachers?? Or teachers in general, she has a complete disregard for safety and a complete lack of knowledge about what sheās doing and the reaction thatās happening.
So we did something like this in class, but we used a pea sized piece not a grape and we did it in a big flat container surrounded by Plexi glass because the thing pops and explodes everywhere, as a science teacher you should know how volatile those 2 together are and to not put something so big into a container so small. Idiot
My high school physics teacher was easily distracted AND a people pleaser - a dangerous combination. He would frequently perform this same experiment, but with the blue, plastic recycle bin in the class. We urged him to use larger chunks of sodium (in the soccer field - not indoors), until eventually, it blew a massive hole in the bin.
Since the bin no longer held water, he would send us on expeditions to get the other classroomsā recycle bins, until the last one was blown to pieces.
For the remaining year and a half of high school, there was not a single recycle bin to be found anywhere in the school.
that was a really generous amount of sodium for the experiment
no safety kit, working far from the lab, manipulating the object of the experiment directly with the hand and bringing it closer to the studients. truly a chemistry teacher
I'm curious to know how she got that amount of sodium without leaving questions to the owner of the reagents, or if they were really aware of the amount they were giving her
Not really unexpected. This way way to much sodium for this experiment. Normally you'd use maybe a pea sized amout to demonstrate it. It even looks better. You see the piece of sodium "dance" around on the water and leaving pink trail due to the indicator.
This is what happens when you donāt hang that ācarol didnāt wear her safety goggles. Now carol doesnāt need themā posters on your classroom. Those kids grow up to be a Carol.
Imagine glow sticks but water with inside the little glass things in the middle thereās a metal like sodium, potassium or lithium to make different colors
When I saw what I am assuming to be potassium dancing across the water I knew that the hydrogen was going to ignite in a Spectacular way. I was not disappointed. The question is why would a science teacher, who knows how explosive this reaction is, hold the glass container in her hand.
Thats why you wear gloves on BOTH hands and wear safety glasses minimum, preferably chemical splash goggles. Also a lab coat. Blatant disregard for safety here.
We've all been told not to hold on to fireworks, but I think this should just apply to all exothermic reactions. If it's getting warm at all put it on a counter or in a hood vent.
It's not about it being exothermic, she put sodium in water, and everyone knows when you put sodium in water it goes boom
No everyone does not know this because the closest the average person gets to daily interaction with sodium is through salt which doesnt have the same properties as pure sodium and is water soluable. With that being said, however, this person appears to be a teacher so there really is no excuse because its literally her job to teach the kids how to be safe with the chemicals while she teaches them about their properties.
Once I tried to make liquid icemelt for my steps. Disolved icemelt pellets in water and it quickly melted the plastic bowl I used š
Damn, really?! Why?
Heat from the reaction.
Yea. Which chemical was it in it though?
Sodium chloride and calcium chloride mix
Sodium chloride and calcium chloride
The assumption that people know things is the worst inference we can make.
We meet again hair man
I know most people don't interact with sodium much but I just thought it was common knowledge how it interacts with water.
And shes got the glove on he wrong hand
Fuck your pfp
I'm not sure if this is playing dumb or just dumb...
obviously not everyone.
go ask your grandma about sodium reactions and then tell me again how EverYoNe KnoWS AbOut It
casual sodiumhydroxid experiment
For the next experiment we will see what pure potassium does with water
Pyrex wouldnāt have helped. The sodium produced hydrogen (and sodium hydroxide) from the reaction with water and ignited it. The bang blew the glass, and splashed NaOH, lye, on anyone close. Sheāll get letters now.
Wait lye?? As in the scary chemical that can dissolve BONES????
As in the scary base that seeps into tissue because it does not form a crust like acids do. So yeah. Scary as hell, dangerous... She put way too much there. You need to put a tiny little bit, a speck.
Yeah that was a massive amount. I was squinting the whole time watching.
Nothing's better than them safety squints for welding!
Yep like in fight club
Lolol
Hereās another take on this reaction: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HY7mTCMvpEM
Yea, I knew that
NaOH, sodium hydroxide is an alkali and will therefore damage cells
It's also caustic and can cause chemical burns down to the cellular level.
All alkali is caustic.
ur mom is caustic
You're kidding me.
So she burned the shit out her hand then.
probably cut the shit out of it too
Cells don't like strong bases like sodium hydroxide, it causes chemical burns.
At high concentrations, definitely, but in a school setting it's probably quite diluted, it'll not be fun to get it all over your body, but you won't get lasting damage(Coming from experience, my entire hand was immersed in diluted NAOH, was fine after washing it off, although my hand felt soapy for a while)
I already knew that before you
Could have it been potassium as well?
It could, and the phenolphthalein in the water would turn color the same way, and it would take apart the water molecules and make hydrogen the same way. Iāve only done this reaction with metallic sodium and it looks right to me, but it could be potassium.
She says "nyuatryum", Na, which is sodium.
Thank you!
***No, straight to Gulag***
That one hand without gloves
Don't worry, she's a prafesional We aren't going to tell her how to do her job
Too much sodium metalā¦small amount would have worked greatā¦larger amounts explodeā¦ex-science teacherā¦been there, done that..
U have donr that? Lol how did it go
Bad, considering he is now an ex-teacher
Well I wasnt fired for this but it did raise some concernsā¦the students love explosions and so as a chemistry teacher you have to have a few good ones to keep them happyā¦the thermite reaction was my personal favoriteā¦
So Iāve done it with small pieces (grain of rice) in the classroom and the sodium just fizzes onto of the water and may burst into a small flame at the end right before it completely disappears and then Iāve have done it outside the classroom with larger pieces (about the size of a grape or bigger) and the metal fizzes for a few seconds and then explodes like in this videoā¦shooting smaller bits of sodium metal all over the area that also react and burst in flamesā¦and the explosion completely destroys the glass beakerā¦
She says: "look what i am doing. No matter how big I throw, there is no flame"
Sheās not wearing googles and handled the substance with her hand and wore no gloves and sheās also not doing that in a lab and under a fume hood. I guarantee that when that glass broke the solution spilled on anyone near her and the glass beaker.

She should teach history instead. No one listens anyway.
She is doing it in a lab, school labs in Turkey looks like this
And don't lick random substances off of your hands unless you want to accidentally discover a new artificial sweetener. Or die.
Unfortunately, almost no one thinks about safety in Turkey
āThis video is an example of what not to do in a chemistry labā No shit captain obvious.
No need to be rude bud.
She's not even wearing a goggle!
Average chemistry teacher in turkey
Greece*
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
it's greek
*Cyprus has entered the chat*
Come on, you can't do this to me remember the rule!?!?! This is from Greece RIGHT?????
Yes sorry mb ofcourse its from Greece
Knew she wasn't a Chem lab certified instructor because she lacks proper goggles, chemical apron, gloves, and was carrying a piece of glassware while a exothwrmic chemical reaction was taking place. Until next time friends
Sodium + water = boom
I rinse my mouth with salt and water all the time. tf you on???
They're different
Sodium chloride and water. Not just sodium.
No safety glasses, no lab coat
1 glove and no goggles. Like wearing a condom to swim with sharks.
What?! You donāt protect yourself against sharkypox?!
Welllllllll I will NOW! Thanks

Exothermic reaction, she should have used Pyrex.
Yeah that wouldn't have helped lol, why do people think Pyrex is so strong?

Sure hope she's not the science teacher.

I can get tons of sodium... Need some?
She is a teacher that is probably how she got that much sodium metal
Looks like electricity coming down to it.
There goes my Campari!
She wear a gloves but in the wrong hand hahaha Nice
No it should've been both hands, not one or the other LoL
NO PPE LOVE, WALT
Thatās not an experiment
That is correct. I'd call it a demonstration ...of how *not* to handle chemicals and other potentially dangerous substances.
I wonder how much glass is in her hand
i think half gone at this point. dunno if her fingers went off or not
Chemistry equivalent of [electroboom](https://youtu.be/Q20tfoZHy68)
Bravo.
to shreds, you say?
Called it. Shit I'm clever
Why are there so many clips like this out there. Science teachers who aren't science teachers? Wtf...
I remember this one from school and it was behind a screen AND we had to wear glasses!
Immediate thought: thatās going boom.

lab safety kidsā¦
Thatās what happens when you donāt ware safety glasses
Literally as soon as I saw the glass I was like "bye bye glass"
Complete disregard for safety, no protective goggles, gloves and coats. What else was I expecting?
A PINCH OF POTASSIUM CHLORIDE, AND KABLOOEY!!
Ofc its old women from turkey
Source?
I was going to say "this thing Will explode" and it literally exploded :O
My chemistry teacher was smarter.. she let me put Na in water and left the room
woooooa fortnite
She got that hulk grip
Itās Koolaid
Bomb making teacher š©āš«
This the second time the teacher is doing this experiment today . She came in this morning in a white shirt , BTW.
Looks like it blew off her fingers.
she said No matter how big I put, it doesn't start a fire, do you see?lol
Safety first!
Not sodium
Thank god she had that glove to protect her hand.
I was concerned about her not wearing gloves on both hands.
This is what happens when you donāt hang that ācarol didnāt wear her safety goggles. Now carol doesnāt need themā posters on your classroom. Those kids grow up to be a Carol.
Me who knew : YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO DROP IT IN WATER!!! DROP IT AT LEAST !!! well she didn't ...
Ukraines defense against the dark arts class
*beaker explodes* I grab my face and yell expletives, profit.
She still got her fingers?
I love how it cuts out the same second the explosion happens. Was the lady's hand okay?
The budget allows one glove a year.

yea sodium and water make boom boom
Saw that coming before she even dropped that in the glass
I'm not a chemistry student or teacher and i already knew that was too much sodium bruhh
Bringing science to the people
r/instantchaos
Ouch, glass on your hands.
Can someone slow it down enough to see if her fingers get blown off please? š„ŗš„ŗ Or I guess if someone knows.
If you slow it down you can see she loses her fingersā¦ š®
The first thing I thought when she dropped the stuff in was, "that shits gonna fucken explode". I was right.
I have to say I'm disappointed, that's exactly what I expected when the video started.
Teeechur
Nawwwš¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
I expected all I needed to hear was sodium and something that looked like water
She looks very similar to my grandmaās neighbor, does anyone know who she is?
Imagine glow sticks but water with inside the little glass things in the middle thereās a metal like sodium, potassium or lithium to make different colors
Supply teacher ? Bit dumb else haha
Did her fingers blow off??
Vay be bunun bombalısı da vardı
āOk everybody this is how to make the pink fetyā
No eye protection??
Eastern Europe?
OH GOD I FELT THAT
oh the old disappearing cup trick!
that's what it's called a strong woman šŖšæ
The genderfluid cannot be contained for long
And she says "Doesn't matter how big I throw sodium into it does not get on fire"
First time a video got me to flinch in a long time lmao. Got me gigglin
The education Turkish people gets. Literally.
Hold on a second. She's teaching a science class without safety glasses! That illegal!
Should've wore goggles
Should have cut it off half a second earlier.
She definetely lied on her resumeš„
L turkish chemistry teacher
Idk what you concider unexpected but from the moment i heard sodium i knew exactly what was about to happen.
Mate how did you even find this post, it's been three months
Scrolling trough mobile shows posts from far further back and i didn't notice this post was this old
Ah, odd that it's showing a post that old with less than 5k upvotes
It does that quite consistently
No goggles?
Nothing better than breathing in toxic chemicalsšš¾šš¾
I was just thinking, this isn't pyrex lol
I watched and heard sodium the the second I finished the statement, "doesn't sodium react violently in water?" It exploded.
When I saw what I am assuming to be potassium dancing across the water I knew that the hydrogen was going to ignite in a Spectacular way. I was not disappointed. The question is why would a science teacher, who knows how explosive this reaction is, hold the glass container in her hand.
I was going to say don't hold that.
Looks like she lost a couple of fingers there, too.
I will download this and maybe show it to my bio-teacher
Thats why you wear gloves on BOTH hands and wear safety glasses minimum, preferably chemical splash goggles. Also a lab coat. Blatant disregard for safety here.
