I've been playing around with works bombs and I want to know the science behind themI realize that the aluminum reacts with the HCl to produce aluminum carbonate and hydrogen, but why is the hydrogen isolated in the reaction? In other words, what makes the chlorine leave the hydrogen and stick to aluminum? will it leave hydrogen for any metal?Thanks!
The chlorine prefers the aluminum over the hydrogen Imagine that they are all sticky balls but the chlorine ball sticks to the aluminum ball more strongly then it sticks to the hydrogen ball Bring a chlorine ball stuck to a hydrogen ball till the chlorine ball touches the aluminum ball and then pull them apart, where will the chlorine ball be? In your chemistry class, you'll learn how to calculate how much various elements want to be with each other and in what patterns, it boils down to the outer electron shells and the periodic table is the elements arranged by their outer electron shell patterns The differences between how each element wants to be with another determines if energy is required to put them together or pull them apart and if energy is released if they are put together or pulled apart.
I would think the only problem with this is that you need to have some new drives installed because you probably dont have a drive right now for the computer to have it connect with USBI dont think there is a virus or anything like thatThanks
