"The student apparently had a bizarre habit of chewing gum after dipping it into citric acid, Russian news agency Ria Novosti said."

why would he do that? did he enjoy burning the skin off of his tongue and the top of his mouth?

this doesn't even make sense

Citric acid is a weak organic acid, and it is a natural preservative and is also used to add an acidic, or sour, taste to foods and soft drinks.

moron

[Schubert]

he prolly dipped in thermite or something

if you dipped bubble gum in citric acid it would burn the skin off your tongue you dumbass

ukranians and russians are fuckin insane

yeh and then started a 1000 degree magnesium fire in his mouth to set it off?

stop talking in this thread you know nothing about chemistry

[TheJokerOCG]

Sounds like some shit from the first Mission Impossible movie...he shouldn't have combined the red and green sides of the gum, or he should have thrown it at a glass fish tank

[BLUNTBILL]

are you mentally ill? citric acid is a WEAK acid, it is safe to touch and eat jus like fucking baking soda is a WEAK base

[sinz]

well i know what im getting you all for christmas.

[kditty]

thejokers sig is amazing. amanda bynes is who people need to hack and try to get nudes. why hack dyrdek. go for amanda bynes fuckers.

[Electronic Daltronic]

When I bit in to a lemon, it burned my tongue and cheeks off!
lol Bill dominating itt

eh depends on the concentration
taking a mouthful of pure citric acid (would be powder) would not be fun. this kid was dipping it which means it was dissolved in a liquid. Likely water... you cant get more than 59% concentration of citric acid at room temp in water so... yea not a big deal, especially if its only enough to coat the surface.

yeah I no longer have a stomach cause I drank a 7-up. citric acid ate it up. lol, exit my thread mr wizard.

sprite has like 0.2% citric acid in it you n00blet
they also put hydrochloric acid in pool water at low concentrations and your skin doesn't fall off either.

No way dude, you know those aliens in the movie Aliens. Their blood was acid and you saw what that did.

Also look at my 0 sec pic. As you can see i have a huge skull to hold my huge brain.

please go play in traffic.

[DigitalChaos]

please go play in traffic.

Go eat 100% pure citric acid and tell us how awesome it is.
Maybe you could do a show and tell of your esophagus and do a comparative analysis to 7-up

no
are you trying to sound smart now using google? you faggot! 59% concentration in water... whats the molar ratio then if u know that shit off the top of your dome? ive been through inorganic and organic chemistry (2 semesters of each in college) and did not know that fact off the top of my head gryf and move on, your probably inbred

the article says it is powder, since the gum is damp it would be coated when rolled in the powder thus making the gum sour, the nigga liked sour gum thats all this shit says.....

[AndTheySTINK]

BB, you are the only voice of reason in here...

Acids are always thought to be way more dangerous than they actually are. Concentrated sulfuric acid (I'm talking 24M here) will irritate the skin immediately then cause a pretty gnarly burn if left on. Potassium Hydroxide on the other hand will melt through your skin and muscles fairly instantaneously. Chemistry FTW

Going through inorganic and organic chemistry must have removed your ability to read. The article said nothing about the citric acid being powder.

Powder doesn't imply any sort of concentration either.
gg try again

really? what concentrations?
you make the same stupid assumptions you claim others are. concentration is KEY

Jesus...just because it's an acid doesn't mean it's a liquid. The term acid implies the ability of a substance to "donate" a hydrogen to a chemical reaction.

"Officers found both citric acid packets and a similar-looking unidentified substance, believed to be some kind of explosive material, on a table near the body, the agency continued.

Investigators suspect that the student simply confused the packets and put gum covered with explosive material into his mouth."



do you believe this "substance" to be packets of dissolved citric acid crystals? or just the crystals?... by deductive reasoning one would conclude the packets to contain a powder like sweet and low....
not a liquid(very few liquids come in packets
chemistry chemicals come in powder and are mixed to the molar concentrations required for the experiment
in a lab you don't squeeze liquid out of packets to fill a beaker

Neat. With your hardcore research skills perhaps you could show me where I said that acid = liquid.

Irrelevant post is irrelevant

[AndTheySTINK]

I was implying a potassium hydroxide solution of the same molarity (24M). My apologizes for assuming you had read the previous sentence. I was making a point that an acid and base at the same molar concentrations will differ greatly in terms of danger.

[BLUNTBILL]

from the msds for citric acid (pure)

Extremely large oral dosages may produce gastrointestinal disturbances.Chronic or heavy acute ingestion may cause tooth enamel erosion.

the dangers are eating extremely large doses of itthen maybe u get a tummy ache or ur teeth rot (as dangerous as sugar)

dont get in in your eyes or sniff it up your nose

now shut the fuck up u retard

Depends what the purpose and packet was.

"The student apparently had a bizarre habit of chewing gum after dipping it into citric acid, Russian news agency Ria Novosti said."

How does one "dip" a piece of gum into a powder if it isn't already chewed?
I know you like to make assumptions against what the article says and all:

...since the gum is damp it would be coated when rolled in the powder thus making the gum sour...

how did that gum get damp again? lets play more of the assumption game!

so basically ur saying he has the "bizarre habit" of dipping gum into lemon juice?
your a fucking asshole who is obviously wrong

Citric acid will most likely hydrolyze at room temperature and became "chemically damp" (meaning there are inherent hydrogen bonds trapping water on the surface). If you were to take a piece of gum, consisting mostly of glucose (a carbon chain molecule with hydroxy groups easily susceptible to hydrolysis) it's not unreasonable to think that the citric acid molecules will stick to the gum without any noticeable liquid.

Think about sand sticking to you when you go the beach, even when you haven't gone in the water. Just cuz you haven't gone in the water doesn't mean there isn't moisture.

I didn't say it. The article did.
I know i know.... your reading comprehension is really bad. Thats ok little guy. Don't get too worked up about it.

Now see, this is a completely reasonable explanation. As long as you aren't Chemist BLUNTBILL who already claimed that the gum was damp. :P

Digital Chaos, you're pretty much a faggot. Not because I'm siding with one opinion or the other, but because you are going about this like a fucking tool.

Sums the thread up in its entirety.

how much do you want to be the gum was damp? your the fucking retard who thought he was dipping un-chewed gum into fucking citric acid water that came in packets.... the fucking idea im guessing he was using was like the "baby bottle pop" because when the gum lost flavor, the fucking powder would make it taste sour again

you can argue assumptions all day but there is obviously a right and wrong answer here, yours being wrong

Anyone can claim such, few can actually prove it. A true DG rises above the posers in this thread. AndTheySTINK is a DG in my book!

dude, give up. you can only be wrong so many times. it is getting boring having to point it out to you.
