Absolutely, Janice. Did you need to do some homework? Or just work on science with me?
I’m writing a paper for science class and wanted to do an experiment. How much pure sodium do you have?
Maybe about five fluid ounces of it – I don’t use it much. What’s the experiment?
Nice! How much can I use? I want to drop it in water and measure the energy it lets out!
Hm, lemme think… You won’t need much at all to get a manageable explosion – no matter what MacGyver says, it won’t be too big to handle. Maybe a gram will be enough.
