Salt water can corrode bare magnesium pretty badly. Sodium, Na, in water is pretty fun. I heard a story once from a University prof about sodium wrapped in the right amount of newpaper being flushed down a bunch of toilets simultaneously and by the time the water got to the soduim in the paper balls they were well in the pipes and caused the flow to reverse. Water came up the urinals, out the terlets turds just layed came up and landed in trousers around ankles.
:lol: good story
I have seen Na reactions in water a couple times. Once in high school, and once here in college. My teacher in high school didnt really know what she was doing….. Nothing bad happened, but it scared the shit out of her when it started to react violently :lol:
