Pouring Molten salt into Water - Explosion!

Pretty interesting science experiment on the effects of molten salt when it enters water where the guy tests another ionic compound and some molten sodium metal to see if there's any difference and then goes on to explain the science behind it and how it isn't a chemical reaction but is purely based on water turning into steam and getting trapped inside the salt and expanding.

The explosions when slowed down are impressive

a reply to: Discotech So, let's deny the right of citizens to purchase salt and drinking water, because obviously they are quite dangerous!

Keyword in the title.. Hello 3 letter agency dudes and dudettes (is that even a word)

Come now, no need to tarnish an entertaining video with gun control rhetoric.

Water on its own is dangerous anyway if you submerge a person in it, don't need to add molten salt to kill somebody
