Where is my Water?

After those colorful Gases' show, I came up with a weird chemical reaction between Sodium polyacrylate and water. What is that sodium polyac...? Sodium polyac acrylate is an anionic substance that is a good sequestering or chelating agent. This property of it is used in helping the detergents work more efficiently in hard water. The sodium polyacrylate combines with the heavy metals in the water which makes it a super absorbent. Alright but what about your water? Oh, yes, The water. I took a beaker and added some polyacrylate to it and gradually added some water. After a second, it all vanished and all I was left was that coconut powder like substance. I would like to mention that this is a really good absorbent and a small amount of it can create a pile of that coconut powder like substance, about several hundred times more than that. It is a cheap substance and is available easily in the market but it is really very toxic and can cause eye, skin or liver problems or a...

Colorful Gases

Introduction:- So hey there, I am back again with new post on my blog which is about making colourful gases. Let me make it clear for you that here I am not talking about colourful smokes but actually some gases involving chlorine, nitrogen and some other chemical compounds. Let's Begin:- So here I am going to tell you some chemical reactions which I learned in school and I found them really interesting. Making green gas:- This one is a bit Spooky kind of reaction. For that you need a salt of chlorine, for example sodium chloride, potassium chloride or any other kind of metal chloride. Put that salt into a petri dish or a test tube if you have it and add concentrated sulphuric acid and a bit of manganese oxide. Heat that for a while and you will see a green gas with a really very pungent smell which you are not supposed to smell. So here is how the chlorine gas looks like:- The reaction is like this- Brown gas:- So we are done with green gas and now let's mo...
