Miles Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Hello! I have decided this is where I will record the results of any chemistry experiments I am doing over the summer so that you weebs can see all this cooooool shit. Hope you enjoy! Feel free to comment any suggestions on experiments or methods. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 My first experiment this summer is using gallium to structurally weaken an aluminum can. (I'm going to use the scientific method for this and all future experiments. It gives me something to do.) My question is of course "If an aluminum can is exposed to a droplet of gallium, will the aluminum can's structure weaken." I did research and of course it does. This experiment has been done before. So I am going to instead change two things in my experiment. I have a control(aluminum can with no gallium), then Group A and Group B(can with gallium with layer of oxidation removed and can with gallium without the layer of oxidation removed). This way I can see how much scratching the surface of the can changes the rate at which gallium diffuses into the can. My hypothesis is that the control will have no change(duh), Group A will have significantly greater structural damage than Group B(duh), and Group B will have some structural damage, but not much(duh). I'll upload some pictures of the gallium I have + the cans with the gallium on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) Gallium + Group A and B. Notice the scratches on top of Group A versus a clean top on Group B. I'm gonna try to check back every day for a couple days and record my observations. Hope you enjoy. Edited July 23, 2016 by MeoMiles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xaioa Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 On it. Mentos in a coke bottle = ''On It'' Badass baking soda VOLCANOES! = ''Go Away'' I see how it is, Sexist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comic King Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 For the first time I see this sort of bullshit on the forums and all I have to say is... Keep this up! It's actually quite interesting (at least for me) even though it's just basic chemistry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually gonna do yours anyway. For the first time I see this sort of bullshit on the forums and all I have to say is... Keep this up!

Miles Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 Day 1 Not much change in the appearance of the can or gallium. It needs more time to diffuse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 Day 2 Still no changes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Executive Council imasonaz Posted July 25, 2016 Executive Council Share Posted July 25, 2016 Well, at least you didn't drop the soda. Better trick is to put the mentos in a pipe and pop them all in at once so you don't miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
