"Stupid single-celled organism."
Alice snorted coldly in her heart.
If she let him throw that piece of sodium into the hydrogen peroxide, it would indeed cause violent splashing and could even cause chemical burns.
As a pacifist, how could she allow such bloodshed to happen?
But that didn't mean she would take this lying down.
"Since you want to play with chemistry, I'll let you witness a real chemical reaction."
Alice's left hand seemingly casually picked up a bottle of red reagent from the corner of the table.
And in her right hand, she extremely covertly used a dropper to suck up a bit of concentrated ammonia that Peter had accidentally spilled into the waste container earlier.
Just as Flash Thompson unscrewed the cap and was about to pour the contents out.
She suddenly reached out, as if to grab a test tube from the rack, and thrust her elbow outward, accidentally hitting the funny bone of Flash's arm as it reached over.
"Ouch!"
Flash's arm went numb, and his hand shook.
The open brown bottle didn't pour its contents into Peter's beaker; instead, due to inertia, it slipped from his hand and fell vertically—
It fell precisely into the giant graduated cylinder that Flash was holding in his arms, which was filled with hydrogen peroxide and dish soap.
At the same time, the dropper and phenolphthalein bottle in Alice's hand, in that split-second collision, extremely quickly shook a few drops of liquid into it.
The bottle containing the metallic sodium sank to the bottom of the graduated cylinder. The kerosene, the protective liquid inside, had a lower density than water and floated up instantly, and the unprotected metallic sodium came into contact with the hydrogen peroxide solution.
Sodium + Water = Violent exothermic reaction + Hydrogen gas.
Dish soap + Gas = Massive amount of foam.
Ammonia + Phenolphthalein = Bright purple-red.
These three simple reaction formulas completed a perfect chain reaction in one second.
A dull thud exploded in Flash's arms.
It was like a long-suppressed pink volcano suddenly erupting.
It was like a pink volcano suddenly erupting.
A column of steaming purple-red foam, carrying a pungent ammonia smell, shot up from the graduated cylinder, straight to the ceiling, and then, affected by gravity, came crashing down.
"What the hell?"
Flash Thompson didn't even have time to close his mouth before he was engulfed by this torrent of pink foam.
His hair, his face, that tight lab coat, and even his mouth were covered in that slimy, purple-red foam that smelled like urea.
"Ahhh, my eyes! What is this stuff? Am I melting?"
Flash let out a blood-curdling scream, threw the graduated cylinder from his hand, and danced around on the spot, looking like a pink snowman that had just crawled out of a dye vat.
The whole class was silent for a second in shock, and then erupted into laughter loud enough to lift the roof.
"Mr. Thompson!"
Mr. Cobbwell turned around in horror, looking at the mess, so angry that his glasses went crooked.
"What are you doing? Are you trying to murder your classmates or blow up the school?"
"No, it wasn't me, it was her!"
Flash, while wiping the foam off his face, pointed angrily at Alice, but his current ridiculous appearance made his accusation completely unconvincing.
"She bumped into me, she added something to my beaker."
In an instant, all eyes were focused on Alice.
At this moment, Alice was standing quietly in front of her pristine lab bench, taking off her goggles to reveal a calm and innocent face.
"Teacher, I think this was just an operational error."
Alice's voice was steady and calm, so articulate that it was scary.
"Judging by the color and smell of the reaction products, Thompson clearly mistakenly mixed an alkali metal into the hydrogen peroxide system. This violent exothermic reaction caused the instantaneous expansion of the saponified foam."
Having said that, she glanced at Flash, who was still jumping around, with a look as if she were watching a mentally handicapped person.
"In short, while trying to create Elephant Toothpaste, not only did he fail to control the dosage, but he also treated himself as the elephant."
"As for his claim that I added something..."
Alice spread her hands, showing her clean hands and lab bench.
"My experimental equipment is all here; you can check. On the contrary, Thompson..."
