You all know that bombs that we built when we were little kids, puttling milk and swimming pool chlorine into a coke bottle and sealing it, and after a few seconds BOOM? I decided to make a science project about it. What is the actual Chemestry in it? what is in the milk that reacts with Cl ?

and by the way i see you have missed te point a bit. I DONT CARE HOW THE F YOU SPELL IT, ENGLISH ISNT MY MOTHER LANGUAGE!!! and all other information i have is that the moment you add the white solids, im not exactly sure if it is called chlorine, it starts bubbling and the bottle bursts of pressure on the inside forming because the lid was placed on again.

Difficult to imagine an explosion with much water present.
Bleach and milk will not make a flammable gas... or any gas, I think...Could it have been powdered milk solids mixed with chlorine gas or chlorate solids?
Or butter or cream mixed with some concentrated form of chlorine? I suppose that thick milk and concentrated hypochlorite solution might get hot enough to make steam pressure,
rupturing a vessel. News often glosses over the distinctions between hard and soft explosions, and between explosive chemical reactions and containers burst by pressure.

It is the water in the milk reacting exothermically with the acid HCl

You need to learn how to spell Chemistry if you want to do a presentation in it!!!!

it's an acid base reaction. hate to say it but regardless of your mother tongue spelling is important and spell checker is standard most places. you'd get annoyed if i wrote a question in your language and misspelled simple phrases wouldn't you?
