Title: POTASSIUM EXPLOSION
Post by: mizuno24 on October 18, 2004, 06:09:43 PM

Hi guys, I was wondering if anybody knows the site or source where I can find an old chemistry video clip or any currenty one in which a group of people threw a log of elemental Potassium into a lake. My chemistry teacher saw a movie with it way back(30+ years). Thanks.

How big was the log? Potassium must have been really cheap 30 years ago.

Here is a detailed sodium (http://theodoregray.com/PeriodicTable/Stories/011.2/index.html) explosion. I'm trying to find potassium explosions, too - no luck. :(
