im not asking how to make the bomb, for i dont want to make iti just want to know what the chemical reaction is for itwhat is it in only the works toilet bowl cleaner that the other toilet bowl cleaners dont have that causes the chemical reaction with the tin foiland is it only tin foil or can Aluminum foil be used alsoi know its a felony to do this and i know its dangerous, but like i said, IM NOT GOING TO DO ITim just curious as to what causes it to explodei also know that when the tin foil and the works is mixed, it creates a chemical reaction, which creats a gas that fills up the bottle, it eventually runs out of room, causing the bottle to explodebut if you were to put baking soda and vinegar (same thing with cola and mentos) into a bottle and close it, why wont it explode? it is a chemical reaction that creates a gas tooand im sure the gas runs out of roomand if the bottle does explode, then why isnt it a felony also, like the works bomb?
If you are making a quick bread (banana, zucchini, whatever), it ought to bake fine in a 9x9 if you dint' have a traditional loaf panYou will bake for less time (shave off maybe 25% of the time, and check for doneness) and you will serve in squares instead of slicesBut you'll have a good product nonetheless.
Can you bake whatever you're baking in the 9X9 pan and cut it in half?? Christopher BTW, there are speciality baking pans that do what you're trying to do w/o the cardboard, foil, etc.
I'd wrap a piece of cardboard in tin foilThat way you have the rigidity you need and the cardboard won't burn.
I would do the foil but be sure to spray it or the cake might stickIf you decide to use the whole pan and cut it in half, be sure to cut your cooking time down since it's a thinner layerIf you put a loaf pan in there to take up space, be sure and put foil around the edge of the loaf pan or you'll get batter in the seam and that's the pits to get out.
The works has hydrochloric acid (HCl) which reacts with the aluminum to give off hydrogen gasIt's an exothermic reaction (produces heat) which is why the bottle gets hot and the foil looks burntI'm unsure if the heat causes the bottle to blow or if its the built up pressureI'm guessing it's a combination of bothDon't hurt yourself or breathe in The Works or get it on your skin, it burns.
