Is it safe to inhale biocarbonate of soda granules that are in water?

it's carbon dioxide if you want oxygen you want electrolysis.

that or get your self some mercury.

You heat the mercury in air and it turns to a red power you then leave it to cool place it in (aghh i forget the name of the apparatus quite famous) basically a bottle (glass) with a tube leading from the to down to a bucket of water with an upside down beaker covering the tube (under the water and filled with water to catch the bubbles) then reheat your red powder in the bottle catch the bubbles in the beaker then you have a beaker full of pure O2 and your nice silver mercury back you can repeat t as many times as you like.

Of course i wouldn't recommend doing this do to the very toxic nature of mercury and it's vapor especially hen heating.

Electrolysis is far better.

Out of curiosity why are you dipping your bicarb in water when you get much more foam + gas and quicker if you dip it in vinegar?


Howw old are you, did you sit year 6 in primary school it's when you should have covered all this.

Oh and if you want to see what it's like if you did breath them in, go get an empty 2 litter lemonade bottle then stick your mouth on the end (the open one) and breath in then out so your only breathing whats in the bottle, try and do it for a minute :)

Thank you for the most excellent post. I am not actually dipping anything. I have no plan to try any such experiments but I just find it very interesting reading about such things. There are a lot of very talented minds out there and it's nice to read what's going on in the world today.

So dipping in vinegar is actually better then.

I have been quite interested in Scuba diving for many years but haven't really tried it. I read on google something about rebreathers that use crystalline granules that clean the carbon dioxide that you breath out and remake it into breathable oxygen. The idea of the rebreather is to recycle the air you breathe so you can stay underwater longer. This is all quite fascinating.

with electrolysis of water, do you use bicarbonate of soda is their no need. Do you know if you can do electrolysis using vinegar or is that too dangerous. It is quite exciting, I should have paid ore attention at school in the chemistry lab.

No electrolysis is jut sticking 2 electrodes into water it then splits it into hydrogen on one electrode and oxygen on the other (you'll get twice as much hydrogen by volume as oxygen) you can do it with a 9v battery.

best if you break open 2 AA battery's and get the carbon rods out of the center of them for the electrodes as copper wire will be broken down on one electrode and transported to the other so wont last long.

I think if you tried it with vinegar because it is such a weak concentration of ethanoic acid in water, it would just do the same (up till a point)

the rebreather uses something slightly more advanced than bicarb and you can't really do that at home + it only works for a certain period of time till it is all used up.


Although i do recommend you get some vinegar in a 2 litter bottle, stick some bi carb in (do it in a sink) kinda like a less impressive version of mentos and diet coke.
 
Personally i'd skip bicarbonate of soda and go for the following:

5.63g of d-lysergic acid, suspended in 125ml of acetonitrile, cool to around -20c. And an equally cooled 8.82g trifluoroacetic anhydride in 75 ml of acetonitrile. Stand for 1.5 hours at the -20c and the suspended material will dissolve, leaving the d-lysergic acid to convert to the mixed anhydride of lysergic and triflouroacetic acids. The mixed anhydride can be seprated in the form of an oil by evaporating the solvent in vacuo at a temp below 0c. Try and vent the fumes nearby if you wanna go mad for an hour.

I'm not sure he wants to make LSD.

Although you missed out Step 2 from the website you copied it from, he's only got half the instructions from your post.

I thought you genuinely had some chemistry knowledge? :p ;)
