When reactive metals like lithium, sodium, or potassium react with water, they produce hydrogen gas and heat; if the hydrogen gas is trapped in soap bubbles, the heat causes it to explode with a characteristic 'pop' sound and visible flame.

Pop sound explosion of hydrogen gas :#reactivemetal#chemistry #experimentAdded:
Today, I will show you a small hydrogen gas explosion. So, this is water. I added soap soap in it.
And let's see let's trap hydrogen gas and see how it explodes.
So, right now I'm throwing a small pieces of metal. So, metal the reactive metals like lithium, sodium, potassium, they react with water.
And see look at that hydrogen gas is evolving.
Slowly and gradually the bubble will come up to the top of the container and then it will since it is producing heat also, the heat will give hydrogen gas a reason to explode once it is trapped.
So, right now let's see.
Look at that. The bubble is coming up.
Let me just see it from the top view.
Look at that.
It's coming up. Look at it looks good from the top.
So, the hydrogen gas is trapped by the soap and it is not allowing it to travel into the atmosphere.
So, most of the hydrogen gas is contained inside it.
And now you will see an explosion is about to happen.
Look at that.
It produces a pop sound. Oh.
Look at that. It hit my camera, too. And there is a fire.
Hydrogen gas Look at that. And tell me the color of the flame.
