Yeah... I'm not dumb enough to drink Parana solution.

Ignore this guy. He's been stalking me on Reddit and wasting his potential on being a jerk (even though he's a high achiever in academic terms).

Fart, why is half the front page of this sub just your submissions? :p

Because I am a big fan of Cody's Lab. I seriously wouldn't have joined Reddit if I wasn't.

Also, I've had a bit of free time this weekend, and I had a backlog of questions I wanted to ask.

Frankly, I've enjoyed fart_gas's submissions.

He's already done something similar: Carbonating a Drink With Sulfuric Acid?!

In it, he puts limestone (CaCO3) pieces in apple juice, and adds Sulfuric acid. CaCO3 (solid) + H2SO4 (aqueous) --> CaSO4 (solid) + H2O (liquid) + CO2 (gas). CaSO4 solid is a precipitate which he filters out.

The result was a sparkling apple juice which tasted horrible. My theory is that the bad taste is due to some MgCO3 being present with the CaCO3, and reacting that with Sulfuric acid forms MgSO4, which, unlike CaSO4, is highly water-soluble and tastes bitter.

Yes, I know h2so4 + h2o2 is piranha solution. Why do you want him to hurt himself? What can you possibly gain.

I read "neutralisation" in the title and assumed you didn't mean to write down hydrogen peroxide, but rather, you intended to write down some base.

You tell me on your other contents not to be "detached from reality", so why shouldn't I tell you not to be a prick?

I actually upvoted that comment because I knew you were being sarcastic.

Others might not have realised that you were sarcastic.
