Hi. Jay;

According to what I found, there is nothing hazardous about air, ha. ha.

Don't tell me you mixed grease with air under pressure. Ect. connecting and compressed air bottle with a fitting dirty of grease. Boom!!!

Air
Definition

• Air is the mixture of gases that surrounds the Earth. The composition of the earth's atmosphere varies with altitude, but at sea level contains approximately 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen by volume.
  An oxygen-deficient atmosphere contains less than 19.5% oxygen by volume.
  An oxygen-enriched atmosphere contains more than 23.5% oxygen by volume.
  An atmosphere that is immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH) poses an immediate threat to life, would cause, irreversible adverse health effects, or would impair an individual's ability to escape from a dangerous atmosphere.

no, but i did see (first hand) a shipmate walk from a greasy hangerbay deck into a space used to fill liquid o2 bottles, walked into a clowd of evaparate and BOOM!!!! Flash burns on his shind and burnt pant legs. Grease and pure o2 don't mix.

Jay,I can't think of the name of the mineral you are talking about right off hand either, but get this ,,,if youve ever heard of the candy "pop rocks",that kind of explode in your mouth,,,that mineral you are referring to is in that candy...go figure...things that make you go HMMMMM!

Potassium

I thought the pop in candy and gum came from carbonation.

sorry to throw this off topic but what makes the Pop Rocks Pop is carbon dioxide gas. The carbon dioxide gas forms tiny, 600-psi bubbles in the candy. Once it cools, you release the pressure and the candy shatters, but the pieces still contain the high-pressure bubbles (look at a piece with a magnifying glass to see the bubbles).
When you put the candy in your mouth, it melts (just like hard candy) and releases the bubbles with a loud POP! What you are hearing and feeling is the 600-psi carbon dioxide gas being released from each bubble.

Ok, Back on topic.....

[Russel Ray]

Carbonation occurs when carbon dioxide gas is added to a water-based liquid. I think that the inside of the gum is a "water-based liquid," so I think we said the same thing in different ways.

[David P. Valley]

Me too....The last time I checked.

I think the element Jay is thinking of is Potassium.

[Russel Ray]

If I remember my chemistry correctly, all the elements in Column I and II of the Periodic Table have possible explosive consequences when mixed with various other substances and depending on various other factors. If magnesium (Mg) is in powder or granular form, it can create a dust explosion if it accidentally gets mixed with air. Simple swirling, pouring, etc., can cause dry Mg to become electrostatically charged, making it ripe for a real good explosion if the container ruptures and exposes the Mg to air.

Mg can spontaneously ignite on contact with air or moisture and produce irritating and toxic fumes. It can react violently with many substances, depending on certain other factors, to cause fire and explosion hazards, most notably strong oxidants, acids, or water, where mixing can form flammable hydrogen gas, a significant fire and explosion hazard (think Zeppelin).

Other of the more common, similar metals include Lithium (Li), Beryllium (Be), Calcium (Ca), Potassium (K), and Sodium (Na).

Hi. R. Ray; hope you are fine.

Do you thing that the Carbon Dioxide they add to Draft Beer to produce a head, but I can not keep ahead of them, might be the same stuff to keep your margaritas alive and waiting?

Just curious! ha. ha.

Marcel

[Russel Ray]

I don't know. Let me go have a couple of beers real quick, and then a couple of margaritas, and I'll be right back with the answer.

wow did this thread drift.... LOL

I'll help it some more.

I've already been there:

According to Ensuring Solutions to Alcohol Problems, some of the ingredients of effective alcohol treatment include: early detection, comprehensive assessment with an individualized treatment plan, Vicodin or Pergocet, training in social skills, specialized services for psychiatric, employment, medical or family problems, continuing aftercare, support group participation, longer duration of treatment, and strong patient motivation.
