Demonstrating chemistry - spectacular experiments. The magnesium sandwich. Dry ice. 3
Description
Using two blocks of dry ice, Prof. Hal Sosabowski demonstrates how magnesium is so reactive that it can cause carbon dioxide to act as an oxidant. The result is a beautiful instense glow inside the blocks. This experiment is one of the rare occasions in which carbon dioxide actually promotes a fire rather than putting it out. Prof. Hal Sosabowski is a committed chemistry educator, evangelist and communicator. Hal shows us how to safely recreate his inspirational demonstrations, which are both educational and spectacular.
