It was a July afternoon and my parents were out of the house.
Me being the dumb fuck that I am had fractured a bone in my arm the day
before and had a heap of cool paks on my bedroom floor (the kind that
you shake up and they ge icy cold). Anyway, i was pretty fucking bored
and realised that my first aid icy paks happened to contain ammonia
nitrate and water only. I figured that if i could evapourate away the
water in the solution then i would be left with a fair bit of ammonia
nitrate. i had loads of sugar in my cupboard and i figured sugar+oxidiser = esplosion.... SOLID. it was a plan.
.. I went downstairs and carefully ripped open the icy paks into a
large pot. I put it on the stove and started to heat it. After about 5
mins some nasty smells were coming off and the solution was becoming
thicker. SO.. being the retarded dim wit i am i added the sugar before
ALL of the water had evapourated... bad idea.
[when you mix ammonia nitrate with water it creates an endothermic
reaction, making the solution freeze - this is what makes the ice pak
cold. However this is a reversible reaction and if you take away the
water, say by heating it... it will get hotter]
so i mixed in the brown sugar and it went to a fucking foul smelling
brown syrup. literally it smelt like poison. i poured it out into a
plastic container and put it into the refrigerator to set.
... another dumb shit thing to do.
according to le chataliers principle, when a change is made to the
system in dynamic equilibrium (in this case the reversible reaction),
the system moves so as to oppose that change...
basically .. this means that when i put my gooey shit in the
refrigerator... instead of geting colder, it got hotter, way way
hotter.
i came back to it after 25 mins or so and took it out of the fridge.
by this point it was hotter than when i put it in. this was worrying so
i decided that i would bag it up in a plastic bag so none of the
neighbours would see and i put it in the garden shed.
i went back inside and up to my room not expecting much from my concoction.
about 10 minutes later i heard my next door neighbours fire detector
go off. i figured this was because they were cooking and something got
burnt so i ignored it.
it kept going on and off sporadically so finally i went round to see what was going on... plus i was fucking annoyed.
i went round to their door and knocked.
the woman who lived their said nothing was wrong so i went back home.
i went back upstairs and this time i could smell fucking burning
i was worried so i looked out of my window and my fucking shed was on fire.
i could hear crackling so i phoned the fire department who came pretty
sharpish but by the time they came the shed was exploding into flame
and the asbestos roofing started to explode and shrapnel accross the
yard. the whole yard was going up in flames and the shed had caught
fire to a near by tree.
what a fucking dumb mistake
after the fire department had spent about 15 minutes battling the flames they started to question how it strted.
ever since my parents dont believe me about shit
3 bikes were lost
my atb board
everything was gone
dumb shit eh
the police cam round later and arrested me on charges of arson.
huh
dumb
moral of the story : dont fuck with icy packs
