well, for example, and dont critisize or whatever about my example, but vinigar and baking soda makes a slow explosion of CO2, well, are there chemicles i can get around my house to make an implosion? i just want to see it

Well...this is not a chemical reaction (merely a physical change of state), but it does demonstrate an implosion,

Take an empty Aluminum soda can and put just a little bit of water in it. Heat the can until the water begins to steam. QUICKLY (and carefully) flip the can upside down with the mouth of the can underwater. When done correctly, the gasses within the can will quickly cool (the water vapor will condense into a liquid and the air will shrink into a smaller volume). The change in the volume of the gasses inside will dramatically reduce the pressure inside the can and the atmospheric pressure outside the can will crush the can.

An example of a chemical reaction which (when done in an ideal container) will produce an implosion effect would be (for example) a reaction between Hydrogen and Oxygen gas.
Look at the chemical reaction,
2H2 (g) + O2 (g) --> 2H2O (g)
2 moles of H2 and 1 mole of O2 gas (total 3 moles) react together to produce 2 moles of water (which just happens to be in the gas state due to the exothermic nature of the reaction). There is a net change in the number of moles of gas in the reaction and thus a change in the volume [assuming a constant pressure]. If the steam (water in the gas state) is allowed to cool and condense into a liquid, then the number of moles of gas is only further reduced. This thing about this chemical reaction, however, is that it is quite explosive while it is happening, but if it could be done inside a container which could withstand the explosive pressure of the reaction, then after it is over, the container would implode due to the lack of pressure inside. It is not recommended that you try this experiment thinking that you will get an implosion though; your container will almost certainly explode. This example was only meant to illustrate the idea of a change in the volume of the gasses present within a chemical reaction which would lead to a pressure decrease.

precisely the comparable. upload mutually all the flaws you began with. the burden would be precisely the comparable as what you end with. the priority arises with issues like oxydation the place you burn some thing, this is dificult to weigh the atmospheric oxygen until now you initiate. So. placed all the flaws in a huge jar and weigh it. easy it with an electric powered igniter which has its wires sealed in and then whilst it has all burned , weigh it returned. in case you hit upon whilst doing a reaction that all of it weighs much less, you will locate that it has given off a gas that has long previous into the air and long previous away so which you're no longer weighing that bit. wish I helped yet once you % amore complicated answer enable me be attentive to. I somewhat have tried to maintain it straightforward for you.

why would someone give u vinegar(red wine)and baking soda . be it 2 different examples of a test clean theory but if both are taken wouldn't the person be trying to kill you??????please respond asap I'm wishing I knew cause if not i'm going to try whatever it takes to pass my drug test 2morrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dont mix ammonia and bleech it makes chlorine gas and if u breathe in a few deep breaths it could kill u..and i wouldnt trust anyone on yahoo answers...
