Because I'm not a chemist.........but an idiot

Ask us anything. Cambodia Expats Online has a huge community of long-term expats that can answer any question you may have about life in Cambodia. Have some questions you want to ask before you move to Cambodia? Ask them here. Our community can also answer any questions you have about how to find a job or what kind of work is available for expats in Cambodia, whether you're looking for info about Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, or anywhere else in the Kingdom. You're also welcome to ask about visa and work permit questions as well, as the immigration rules change often, especially since COVID-19. Don't be shy, ask CEO's community anything!

Maybe we could pass the hat around and collect some money for him.

I mean the last time we did that it went to such a great cause and the recipient changed his ways and is now a model citizen.

As promised, I made the test again (in my garden this time). Booooom......perfect chemical reaction with lots of fume. All the ants in my garden went belly-up (my neighbors, too........almost).
Btw., the reaction of bleach with ammonia forms chloramine, nitrogen trichloride and a number of other toxic and explosive products depending on the circumstances of the chemical reaction, but not pure chlorine.
Chloramine is also highly toxic, but not as toxic as chlorine.

Tomorrow can you try the rust test. Don't forget to video it.
