Eric:

What is the correct way to safely do this experiment/demonstration? How much
ethyl alcohol do you put into the bottle? I remember seeing this done by a
first rate Chemistry teacher on many occassions but I never had the courage
to try it.

Al Sefl
Whose contact with ethyl alcohol is generally a Glenlivet on the rocks...

<< Thanks to Eric for a great set of mini-chemistry
 lessons at the Exploratorium last Wednesday. He showed
 us an incredible experiment using alcohol and an empty
 plastic 5 gallon water bottle and a pretty nifty way
 to teach balancing equations.
 
 With firm handshake,
