I check what happens when you put pure sodium metal in dry water.

"How does he keep his teeth so clean" is exactly what I was thinking as I watched a beaker explode. Definitely not "How does he keep his teeth."
-
1:44 (literally explodes) "Now this was interesting and a little unexpected; it didn't explode."
-
Okay but let's ask the real question here: Is lava wet?
-
01:57"So no explosion" The beaker: 💥💥

I’ve learned through experience that sodium and water is one of those outside experiments 😂😂😂
-
i love that we’ve started going outside for the outside experiments 😋 just wondering how thrilled your neighbors must be!
-
get the slow mo guy on board. This is beautiful

My dad was in a frat at Cal in the early 60s. They'd snag sodium from the lab on campus, cut notches in the block to give it more surface area, then throw in in a garbage can full of water. BOOM! Outside experiment for sure.

Looks like he used the rest of the dry water to wash his hair 😂
-
"I know what you're thinking - what happened to my hair?" ...

Fun fact, the paper shown at 6:30 was written by the youtuber Thunderf00t

Dry water and liquid nitrogen??? Anyone???
-
If it's less dense does that mean you wouldn't be able to swim in it? You know what you must do.

This is a three step reaction, all three of which are very energetic. In the first stage, sodium metal initially reacts with the water until it becomes molten. During stage 2, as a hot fluid, it will react violently with fumed silica in a thermite type reaction, forming elemental silicon and sodium oxides. A third reaction sees the sodium oxides react with the entrained water forming sodium hydroxide and hydrogen. Place a lump of sodium in dry fumed silica and remotely initiate the reaction with a propane torch. You will be surprised at the ferocity of the redox reaction. No water needed.

6:14 Hey, Thunderf00t's science paper😀
-
This was a good one, interesting result, especially the first run.
-
I absolutely love you enthusiasm!
-
Really interesting experiment I've never thought about. Good to see you're still rockin' your old video style, contrary to a lot of youtubers who change their style on a whim.

“I know what you all are thinking, How I keep my teeth so clean” ??? Nobody was thinking about your teeth lol
