Ok, so you take sodium - nasty, burning stuff - and chlorine - well known for killing small organisms, used in very small quantities in pools, alot would kill you.
Put them together and what have you got? Sodium Chloride.
Incredibly deadly stuff? You'd think so, but it's actually common salt.
I have therefore proven that two wrongs do make a right!

It works the other way too:

Mix Carbon - all life is made out of this - and Oxygen - you need it to breathe, duh - and you get Carbon Dioxide! Which is actually a pretty rubbish greenhouse gas. Methane is 100 times more powerful, and our dear friend water in vapour form is 1000 times more powerful at trapping heat.

Science is good for you!

Pfft....yeah right good one

2nd is just a little off. If I remeber right, it would be HO2, I believe.

No such thing as HO2. You either get C02 - Carbon Dioxide - or CO - Carbon Monoxide. Now that stuff is toxic!

but the earth needs CO2 so the plantlife can breathe, it only gets bad when there's an imbalance

you should've just put the result as carbon monoxide

so what happens when you put sodium in a chlorinated pool, do you get salt water?
(actually water and sodium mixed together make a big explosion, so I don't know what would happen)

HO2, usually termed either hydroperoxyl radical or perhydroxyl radical, is the protonated form of superoxide

You forget the horrific threat of Dihydrogen Monoxide. This foul substance pollutes all our rivers and reservoirs. It's been known to kill in extreme cases.

Science is NOT good for you.

well I think once sodium mixes with chlorine and forms salt the process can't be reversed, thats why when you put tablesalt that is already formed in water you get salt water and not a big flash of light in your face

owned minister, what grade are you in btw? i would have thought a mad scientist would be big on his radicals. their good for making reactions happen.

he's on his way to (or already in) college

wait i'm Aussie, what do you mean when you say college?

lol. better yet, put potassium or even Rubidium in the pool. heheheh. BOOM!

after grade 12 or whatever

he's 16

WTF? what moron told you that? Sodium does nothing of the sort, unless put it into water. (H2O since it's a science thread)

... Random science question:

... Say your car could travel the speed of light. When you turn on your head lights... what happens?

the light from the headlight still travels at the same speed of light.


I learned that from physics 1


I forgot why that is tho

... OK, another.

... Doppler Effect, right? Why is it when you hear an approaching siren or other sound (music from a car, whatever), it sounds quite normal, but once it passes, it distorts?

...

oh comon thats way too easy

Yeah, a problem like that could come out of a ninth-grade textbook.

So wait, the lights don't shine in front or anything? Explain.

I forgot most of it

sure I guess... sound unrealistic? so is a car traveling at the speed of light.

Last year it WAS in my ninth grade textbook

not sure, but somewhere I heard/read that it is impossible for an object to travel faster than the speed of light.
