We were supposed to make a blog or poster about one of our previous experiments and I'm planning on covering the experiment where we ended up burning the ceiling.
Aim: To create a reaction between Sodium (Na) and water (H20).
Method: We put a small amount of sodium in a pool of water.
Results: When the sodium came into contact with the water, it started to emit smoke after a few seconds of contact. Later, it then caught on fire. Finally, after a short period of time, the sodium exploded, sending a flurry of hot sodium into the ceiling. It left burns on the ceiling, and even made bubbles in the paint.
Conclusion: The sodium exploded, like a firework. It also burnt the ceiling.
I am unable to find an image for this, sorry. :/
