Besides water desensitizes an explosive because its so inert. haha well I feel like a douche. I also misread it. I thought somehow he got his gum switched with the explosive then dipped it into acid and threw it into his mouth. | ||

But on a serious note though, I really don't understand how he/she could be carrying/having explosive material while having citric acid near him/her. It sounds like this person was in the lab or something. If that's the case, that's just stupidity to me because you don't eat or drink in chemistry lab. Or does this student knew that unidentified (to us readers and people) substance is explosive material as a Chemistry student? Of course like haster27 suggested, it could be a premeditated murder. Really sad story though, hope they find the answers to this tragedy. | ||

I imagine an acid did the trick in this case. Yeah seriously. Are you kidding me meeple? "Maybe I'm just especially clever... but this might not be true." ROFL Learn some chemistry before you start thinking that you're some kind of genius. Reactions have an activation energy, for example, room temperature is enough for water to spontaneously evaporate. Notice how oils don't visibly evaporate? How is it possible that we have hydrogen bombs? Why don't they just explode all the time? Especially clever indeed. | ||

I'm studying chemistry in university. Water is a very stable substance, with a high heat capacity. Whatever explosive it is, it would work less well in water than outside out it. What helped the reaction to overcome the activation energy huh? The water? The chewing? Bombs have a blasting cap for a reason... Hydrogen bombs are a horrible example of your point... there's obviously something that activated the bomb... Tell me what activated this bomb Also I was just kidding about the especially clever stuff | ||

Whatever explosive it is, it would work less well in water than outside out it. See Group 1 on the periodic table. It will blow you away. | ||

Tell me what activated this bomb Also I was just kidding about the especially clever stuff Are you a freshman? Water is a stable substance for sure, but your mouth has saliva, with a lot of different elements in it, like sodium, potassium, calcium in it, not just water (then there's other stuff like enzymes and mucus, but this is not exactly relevant anyway). And it's not like your mouth is a pool of water, there's only so much spit in there. It doesn't seem to say what the explosive is, but obviously the chewing helped overcome the activation energy. I forget what it is, but there are chemicals that explode if you just drop them. Also, have you ever heard of sodium? Go drop some sodium in a lake or look it up on youtube and tell me that explosives "work less well in water than outside out it". Bombs do have blasting caps. Good point. Go look it up and after you learn that different chemicals have different properties, come back to this thread. Not all explosives are the same. Hydrogen bombs are a great example for activation energy. They have the capacity to explode but don't unless given enough activation energy, by exploding an atomic bomb iirc. I don't know this off the top of my head, so I googled it but for mastication, the normal biting force is 100~150 Newtons. But it wasn't a bomb that blew off his jaw, it was an explosive. It seems that your money isn't wasted since you've learned so much in your classes apparently. Here's an example. You have a gun with gunpowder in it. How can it have the ability to propel a bullet without it exploding in your pocket when you walk around? Go google it. | ||
