	~~== Demonstration ==~~

	~~;Preparation:~~
	* Prepare the nonburning solution: In a 1 quart bottle, combine the alcohol and the water in equal amounts, making a 50/50 solution. To make the flame more visible, you may want to mix in 2-3 tablespoons of salt, which will make it a bright orange-yellow flame rather than a faint blue flame.

	~~;Presentation:~~
	# Set out the tubs (small tubs if using a dollar bill, large tubs if using the cloth) and fill one halfway with water. Fill the other tub with the nonburning solution, enough to cover the bottom of the tub with a thin layer. Close the bottle with the nonburning solution and move it off the table, setting it at least five feet away from the demonstration area. Put the dollar bill or cloth into the solution, and have it soak thoroughly.
	~~# Explain to the audience that you will be making a fire. Have the students list the three things needed for a fire (oxygen, a fuel source, an ignition source).~~
	# Explain that you will be using an alcohol, and that alcohols are flammable. Ask the students for ideas on what will happen when you ignite the dollar bill/cloth that is soaked in alcohol. During this time, put on the safety gear and use the tongs to pick up the dollar bill/cloth and hold it over the tub of water.
	# Have students do a countdown, and ignite the dollar bill/cloth. It will burn for several seconds, but then the flame will go out, leaving it intact! dunk it briefly in the water afterwards to cool it down before handling it, and ask the students for ideas on why it didn't burn. Is there something else in the solution?

	~~== Why This Works ==~~

	~~===Short Explanation===~~
	Alcohols are extremely flammable, and burn very hot and very quickly. This is because alcohols are ''Volatile'', which means they easily turn into a vapor and mix into the air. This means that we have to be careful about having alcohol near a fire or anything really hot, because if not carefully watched it might ignite! With the Dollar bill/cloth, we had it soaked in a solution that was half alcohol and half water. The water did not stop the alcohol from burning, and it was able to ignite and start burning quickly. However, water has a high ''Heat Capacity'', meaning it can absorb a lot of heat before turning into steam. This means the water was able to absorb all the heat from the alcohol, and kept the dollar bill/cloth safe from the fire!

	~~===Full Explanation===~~
	Alcohols are organic compounds which readily combust when exposed to a heat source. Alcohols are highly ''Volatile'', meaning that they readily vaporize while at standard pressure and temperature. Alcohols also have a low ''Heat Capacity'', meaning that they can only absorb a small amount of heat before vaporizing or igniting. Alcohols such as ethanol readily decompose and release a large amount of energy when ignited:

	~~{\| class="wikitable" style="color:black; background-color:#ddd; text-align: left; margin-right: auto"~~
	~~\| Ethanol + 3 O<sub>2 (g)</sub>~~
	~~(C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>5</sub>OH)~~
	~~\| '''→'''~~
	~~\| 2 CO<sub>2</sub> + 3 H<sub>2</sub>O + Heat~~
	~~(1 mol ethanol = 12.3 MJ)~~
	\|}

	One mole of ethanol is only 2.5 cups (0.58 l), and 12.3 MJ is equivalent to the kinetic energy of a flatbed tow truck moving 100 mph (160 km/h)! This fact, as well as the relative ease in igniting ethanol, is why it is now used as a fuel source. Water, unlike alcohols, is not very volatile and has a high heat capacity. The old proverb "A watched pot never boils" draws from the fact that water takes a while to get up to temperature. In fact, to get 2.5 cups of water from room temperature to heat up and vaporize, you would need about 15 MJ of heat energy, which is nearly 25% more than what an equal amount of ethanol can provide! This is what results in the dollar bill or cloth being unscathed and intact!

	~~This demonstration also shows us a technique used in movies. When a stunt requires someone to be "burned alive", the stunt performer will wear a suit which either is padded with water~~-~~filled pockets or is heavily soaked in water. That way, when they are covered in the combustible material and ignited, the water will absorb the heat and keep them safe!~~

	~~== Additional Information ==~~

Set out the tubs (small tubs if using a dollar bill, large tubs if using the cloth) and fill one halfway with water. Fill the other tub with the non-burning solution, enough to cover the bottom of the tub with a thin layer. Close the bottle with the non-burning solution and move it off the table, setting it at least five feet away from the demonstration area. Put the dollar bill or cloth into the solution, and have it soak thoroughly.Explain to the audience that you will be making a fire.

Why This Works

Alcohols are extremely flammable, and burn very hot and very quickly. This is because alcohols are Volatile, which means they easily turn into a vapor and mix into the air. This means that we have to be careful about having alcohol near a fire or anything really hot, because if not carefully watched it might ignite! With the Dollar bill/cloth, we had it soaked in a solution that was half alcohol and half water. The water did not stop the alcohol from burning, and it was able to ignite and start burning quickly. However, water has a high Heat Capacity, meaning it can absorb a lot of heat before turning into steam. This means the water was able to absorb all the heat from the alcohol, and kept the dollar bill/cloth safe from the fire!

==Materials==
* Two large opaque containers (must be made of HDPE to avoid a reaction)
* Acetone
* Many large pieces of Styrofoam

==Safety Precautions==
This demo produces a sticky flammable mixture of dissolved Styrofoam and acetone. Please read the Fire Safety section of the Demonstration Safety page before performing this demonstration. Please properly dispose of the accumulated chemical waste, once the container is too full for the demo.

==Demonstration==
# Add acetone to one of the containers until it is about 10% full (this should be done ahead of time).
# Leave the other container empty.
# Call for a volunteer from the audience.
# Explain that you will be holding a competition to see who can stuff the most amount of Styrofoam into their container in 60 second.
# Guide the audience member to the empty container.
# Start the competition and nonchalantly add Syrofoam to the container. It will dissolve in the acetone and significantly shrink in volume.
# Eventually the audience will notice that the Styrofoam is disappearing. Then admit to you crimes and explain to the kids how it works.

Once the liquid is evenly spread, the gas will evaporate and fill the bottle. Now, set the bottle upright on a solid surface, light a large match and drop it into the top of the bottle. This will result in a large pillar of flame and a loud "Whoosh". You can then explain that the construction of gas through the small opening at the top causes the jet of hot gasses to leave the bottle extremely fast.

There is also a variation of this demo where a bicycle pump is used to pressurize the bottle. Once it reaches 10psi, release the pressure suddenly to create a cloud of methanol droplets in the bottle. This can then be ignited as normal.
