You guys are real assholes to dead people -_-. Don't you have any respect? It's very selective. I've seen several people make fun of famous people's deaths and then those same people turned around and bitched and whined when others made fun of a famous person who they liked. And this guy is a nobody so your logic sucks. and I care if anyone dies.. as long as its not George Bush/ Republican.
You are real asshole to dead Republicans -_-. Don't you have any respect?

Are you a moron? Sure it has lots of other things, none of which are suitable for setting off an explosive. How could the chewing set it off but the jostling in his pocket not set it off, not much of a difference in energy input. Sodium is a extremely volatile substance that reacts with pretty much anything, including water, and its not even an explosive. Sodium and other alkaline metals have to be kept in oil to prevent it from reacting with anything else, and there's no way you could dip something into it unless you're on a fuckin stove. Different chemicals have different properties? Really genius, I didn't know that... but regardless of what explosive it is, you still need something to take it over that energy barrier, and don't say that the pressure from chewing can do that. Shock can set off an explosion but only when applied extremely quickly, as in a blasting cap, not slowly chewing a piece of gum. There's absolutely nothing in his mouth to set off an explosion.
Hydrogen bombs are a shitty example because there's something to set them off. There's nothing to set a bomb off inside a persons mouth. Also, I restate that water reduces the effectiveness of an explosive, so if anything it would be more stable in your mouth.
From wiki:
Hygroscopicity and Water Resistance
The introduction of water into an explosive is highly undesirable since it reduces the sensitivity, strength, and velocity of detonation of the explosive. Hygroscopicity is used as a measure of a material's moisture-absorbing tendencies. Moisture affects explosives adversely by acting as an inert material that absorbs heat when vaporized, and by acting as a solvent medium that can cause undesired chemical reactions. Sensitivity, strength, and velocity of detonation are reduced by inert materials that reduce the continuity of the explosive mass.
Gunpowder is set off by shock from the gun's hammer hitting the primer, which explodes and sets off the gunpowder, so that example makes no sense here

You aren't impressing anyone with your insults and your assumptions. Calling me an idiot when I'm obviously not doesn't make me any dumber, nor does it make you look smarter. I repeat, there is not that much water in your mouth. It's not like you're soaking explosives in a beaker. And large pieces of sodium DO explode in water. "I'm studying chemistry in university." Are you really studying?
Ukraine - A Ukrainian chemistry student who had the bizarre habit of chewing gum after dipping it in citric acid, has been found dead with his jaw blown off.
The student's jaw was believed to be blown off by exploding chewing gum.
Officers found citric acid packets and a similar-looking unidentified substance, believed to be some kind of explosive material, on a table near the 25-year-old's body, Russian news agency Ria Novosti said.
Investigators suspect the student confused the packets and put gum covered with explosive material into his mouth.
Where does it say anything about him putting the explosive in his pocket? I didn't say that he put sodium in his mouth, it was an example kiddo. Don't get so defensive just because you don't know that much.
"Shock can set off an explosion but only when applied extremely quickly, as in a blasting cap, not slowly chewing a piece of gum. There's absolutely nothing in his mouth to set off an explosion. "
Tell that to his jaw.

Hydrogen bombs are a shitty example because there's something to set them off. There's nothing to set a bomb off inside a persons mouth. Also, I restate that water reduces the effectiveness of an explosive, so if anything it would be more stable in your mouth. From wiki: Hygroscopicity and Water Resistance
The introduction of water into an explosive is highly undesirable since it reduces the sensitivity, strength, and velocity of detonation of the explosive. Hygroscopicity is used as a measure of a material's moisture-absorbing tendencies. Moisture affects explosives adversely by acting as an inert material that absorbs heat when vaporized, and by acting as a solvent medium that can cause undesired chemical reactions. Sensitivity, strength, and velocity of detonation are reduced by inert materials that reduce the continuity of the explosive mass.
You aren't impressing anyone with your insults and your assumptions. Calling me an idiot doesn't make me any dumber, nor does it make you look smarter. but you are arguing with someone you obviously think is an idiot does I'm not arguing, I'm explaining. No you're arguing
You are attempting to argue.

Show nested quote +Ukraine - A Ukrainian chemistry student who had the bizarre habit of chewing gum after dipping it in citric acid, has been found dead with his jaw blown off.
The student's jaw was believed to be blown off by exploding chewing gum.
Officers found citric acid packets and a similar-looking unidentified substance, believed to be some kind of explosive material, on a table near the 25-year-old's body, Russian news agency Ria Novosti said.
Investigators suspect the student confused the packets and put gum covered with explosive material into his mouth. Where does it say anything about him putting the explosive in his pocket?

If he confused the packets, he obviously moved it sometime, and that movement is similar to the movement of the explosive in his mouth. I'm saying the story as it is, is faulty. It could very well be true, but there's something that they're not saying.
If his gum exploded, it wasn't because he dipped it in explosives and put it in his mouth

It's not exactly a dissertation but moving something with your hands and chewing something do not generate the same amount of force. The two movements are not similar.
Explain to me why his gum couldn't have exploded from chewing. Does your mouth not generate force as you chew? Is there not pressure applied to the explosive?

Shock can set off an explosion but only when applied extremely quickly, as in a blasting cap, not slowly chewing a piece of gum. There's absolutely nothing in his mouth to set off an explosion. Hydrogen bombs are a shitty example because there's something to set them off. There's nothing to set a bomb off inside a persons mouth. Also, I restate that water reduces the effectiveness of an explosive, so if anything it would be more stable in your mouth. From wiki: Hygroscopicity and Water Resistance
The introduction of water into an explosive is highly undesirable since it reduces the sensitivity, strength, and velocity of detonation of the explosive. Hygroscopicity is used as a measure of a material's moisture-absorbing tendencies. Moisture affects explosives adversely by acting as an inert material that absorbs heat when vaporized, and by acting as a solvent medium that can cause undesired chemical reactions. Sensitivity, strength, and velocity of detonation are reduced by inert materials that reduce the continuity of the explosive mass.
You aren't impressing anyone with your insults and your assumptions. Calling me an idiot when I'm obviously not doesn't make me any dumber, nor does it make you look smarter. Ukraine - A Ukrainian chemistry student who had the bizarre habit of chewing gum after dipping it in citric acid, has been found dead with his jaw blown off.
The student's jaw was believed to be blown off by exploding chewing gum.
Officers found citric acid packets and a similar-looking unidentified substance, believed to be some kind of explosive material, on a table near the 25-year-old's body, Russian news agency Ria Novosti said.
Investigators suspect the student confused the packets and put gum covered with explosive material into his mouth. Where does it say anything about him putting the explosive in his pocket? I didn't say that he put sodium in his mouth, it was an example kiddo. Don't get so defensive just because you don't know that much. "Shock can set off an explosion but only when applied extremely quickly, as in a blasting cap, not slowly chewing a piece of gum. There's absolutely nothing in his mouth to set off an explosion. " Tell that to his jaw. If he confused the packets, he obviously moved it sometime, and that movement is similar to the movement of the explosive in his mouth. I'm saying the story as it is, is faulty. It could very well be true, but there's something that they're not saying. If his gum exploded, it wasn't because he dipped it in explosives and put it in his mouth It's not exactly a dissertation but moving something with your hands and chewing something do not generate the same amount of force. The two movements are not similar. Explain to me why his gum didn't explode from chewing. Because there's nothing that can set it off? Force doesn't matter here, its shock. There's very little shock applied to the explosive from your jaw, similar to jostling the package. By all means, explain this shock to me. What is the scientific definition of shock and explain why it matters and force doesn't. Are you a freshman?
Shock matters more than force/pressure because the slow application of force/pressure is dispersed through molecular rearrangements. With the quick application of mechanical shock, the energy doesn't have a chance to disperse and as a result the substance has a lot more energy, energy that it uses to overcome the activation barrier for the explosive.

Actually...your teeth coming together generates a lot more force than simple jostling in your pocket. Your jaw is able to generate a lot of force in closing. Too bad that didn't help this guy, because his jaw was up against an explosive? I dunno. You guys are better at weird references to jaws and explosives than me.
