Can you mix bleach with lye?

Years ago, I worked in the food industry, and it was normal practice then to mix a very small amount of bleach with a detergent in hot water as a bactericide. The amount of bleach used was around 1 teaspoon per gallon of water. Whilst in small amounts (capful) it may prove harmless to mix the two. If you were to mix both in larger quantities or undiluted a chemical reaction takes place giving off a toxic gas which when inhaled burns and irritates.


What type of metal is a 2008 penny made of?

Here's the history, according to the U.S. Mint: * From 1837 to 1857, the cent was made of bronze (95 percent copper, and five percent tin and zinc). * From 1857, the cent was 88 percent copper and 12 percent nickel, giving the coin a whitish appearance. * The cent was again bronze (95 percent copper, and five percent tin and zinc) from 1864 to 1962, except: In 1943, the coin's composition was changed to zinc-coated steel. This change was only for the year 1943 and was due to the critical use of copper for the war effort. However, a limited number of copper pennies were minted that year. * In 1962, the cent's tin content, which was quite small, was removed. That made the metal composition of the cent 95 percent copper and 5 percent zinc. The alloy remained 95 percent copper and 5 percent zinc until 1982, when the composition was changed to 97.5 percent zinc and 2.5 percent copper (copper-plated zinc). Cents of both compositions appeared in that year.

What is the gas that is used to kill germs in the water?

Chlorine. Chlorine gas is bubbled in to water , where it disproportionates Disproportionation is a chemical term , where molecule simultaneously oxidises and reduces. Thereby its oxidation numbers change from zero (Cl2) to Cl^- ( -1) & Cl^+ ( +1( Chlorine gas forms the chloride ions Cl^- & Cl^+ These ions react with a water molecule to form HCl + HClO H2O + Cl2 = HCl + HClO HCl is hydrochloric acid which is a bactericide and HClO form the 'bleach anion (ClO^-) which is also a bactericide. These two substances together kill germs (bactericide). NB Only sufficient chlorine is bubbled into water , as enough to act as the bactericide. You do NOT taste these chemicals when drinking water as the concentration is very low. NNB All water supplied by a public suppliers must do this, otherwise there would be severe illness, such as Typhoid, Cholera, Dysentery.
