Burning Money Experiment
218
Remember: we are professionals... well sorta. But DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!!!!!
When chemical A is ignited, it burns off before water because it has a higher vaporization rate. This means it is easily flammable and evaporates.
(which is bad, m'kay?)
Money is made of cloth like substances which holds moisture (and saves it from deterioration when washed accidentally, which is good, m'kay).
Because it holds water and is already made to be slightly fire retardant, it doesn't catch on fire while Chemical A burns away, giving the appearance of Burning money.
(T-shirts are also [obviously] made of cloth too allowing for a larger scale recreation).
Now we are left with wet money which is not charred at all. We are also left with Carbon Dioxide which is a dense gas, and water.
Energy in the form of Heat and light is released, which means that this reaction was exothermic.
The new Chemical Equation looks like this now:
C2H5OH + 4 O2 -> 2 CO2 + 3 H2O + energy
Thank you for watching! we hoped you enjoyed the experiment!
What Happens
The flame, mixed with the oxygen in the Air, combines with Chemical A and produces a Combustion Reaction leaving....
Chemical A
The chemical formula for Chemical A is:
C2H5OH
What's left
Water
The water is mixed with chemical A and makes the money damp, preventing it from catching fire when lit
