This is probably the weirdest chemical reaction you'll ever see.
DrStupid said:You can get a similar effect with sugar, ash and alcohol. Still not harmless but better than burning mercury compounds.
ElliotSmith said:Mercury vapor is extremely toxic.
Borek said:Toxic for sure, but calling it "extremely toxic" is an exaggeration. Short term exposures to the vapor are rarely dangerous, it is the chronic poisoning that is a really serious problem.
A chemical reaction is a process in which one or more substances are transformed into new substances with different physical and chemical properties.
A chemical reaction can be considered strange if it produces unexpected or unusual results, such as unusual colors, odors, or temperature changes.
Some chemical reactions can be reversed by applying the appropriate conditions, such as changing the temperature or pressure. However, not all reactions can be reversed.
A chemical reaction is caused by the interaction between different substances, known as reactants. This interaction can be triggered by various factors such as heat, light, or the presence of a catalyst.
Yes, it is important to follow safety guidelines when conducting any type of chemical reaction. This may include wearing protective gear, working in a well-ventilated area, and properly disposing of any leftover chemicals.
