I'm pretty sure Ammonia and Clorox Bleach are both alkali, also they famously mix to produce chloride gases, which aren't salt and definitely aren't innert.
They are both alkali. Although I believe the process does make some chlorine gas, it almost all reacts and you get chloramine gas as an end result. Also very toxic, and what people die from who mix these.
Ty for clarifying the gases. Chem is my worst STEM subject, so I'm not surprised I got something wrong.
No problem. I usually take any chance I get to explain chemistry. They don't come around too often.
You're right actually, I thought it was chlorine.
Nevermind, they're turbofucked.
Chlorine isn't an acid or base on its own. HCl is maybe what you're referring to?
On a side note, household ammonia is actually an equilibrium between water, ammonia, and ammonium hydroxide. Meaning it doesn't fully dissociate in water, which by definition does not make it a strong base.
Yup, you're right, I was wrong about what they were actually putting in their mouths. It is interesting to me that the most unstable molecules can come together to form some of the safest salts/compounds, but that's not what's happening here.
