Explanation: SiO₂ (Silica gel) acts as a support material and may help in heat distribution. C₂H₅OH (Ethanol) is a flammable liquid that burns readily. C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ (Sugar) and NaHCO₃ (Sodium bicarbonate) create a carbon-based reaction when ignited. Heating leads to sugar caramelization and decomposition, while sodium bicarbonate releases CO₂ gas, affecting combustion. Observations: The ethanol ignites with a blue flame. The sugar and sodium bicarbonate mixture expands, foams, and turns black as it burns. Smoke and a burnt caramel smell may be noticed. Reaction: 1. Ethanol burns: C₂H₅OH + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O + Heat 2. Sugar decomposes: C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ → C + H₂O 3. Bicarbonate releases CO₂: NaHCO₃ → Na₂CO₃ + CO₂ + H₂O Conclusion: When silica gel, ethanol, sugar, and sodium bicarbonate are ignited, a foamy black carbon mass forms, producing heat and smoke in an exothermic reaction. ____________________________________________ Disclaimer: All experiments on Atomic Alchemy are conducted by professionals under controlled conditions with strict safety measures.
