Gonna need some window cleaner to make some brain bleach for that

Why o-o

[Sergarr]

Now I'm scared. Is it really that bad?

Glycerin is three nitro's away from becoming nitroglycerin. Nitroglycerin explodes.

YES IT IS THAT BAD

Most likely not, just keep the chemical solution in a sealed container and air out the room you made it in. Maybe look up some of the possible interactions of the chemicals if you're really concerned about it.

My immediate assumption given some of the items you mentioned is that the fizzing is just hydrogen/oxygen gas being produced by chemical interactions, probably with the baking soda if you put any in.

Mixing Hydrogen Peroxide, Sodium Hydroxide, and Baking Soda with any acidic substance in the right amounts could make quite a fizzy solution, but depending on the relative acidity/alkalinity of the concentrations used it's probably harmless.

Not sure why you have yeast around those chemicals though, all they'd do is kill it if put in solution together.

Where would it get those nitros from?

I probably used it to make oxygen from hydrogen peroxide.

Yeah you're probably correct, if the yeast survived the ph of the solution you created they'll have begun making catalase, which breaks hydrogen peroxide down.

Water is one oxy from being hydrogen peroxide?

why yes yes it is

[Bauglir]

More importantly, water is exactly the same molecule as steam! That shit'll burn you real bad.

Because it's absolutely Slaanesh tier heresy and I don't want to get burninated

On Tuesday a girl in my chemistry class exploded some stuff in an organic chemistry lab.  The resulting white cloud smelled like mint.

An illustration of approaching things with Gunner-Chan's philosophy in mind, almost as literally as possible.

[Frumple]

... this is why chemistry kills people, isn't it. Somehow folks can not get it in their head to not smell the explosive chemical reaction.

First reaction to white cloud of potential death should not be "Let's see what it smells like "

And then your face melts off and your lungs turn into cement. BAD END

[Gunner-Chan]

See this is why people hate chemistry! First you create explosions, then you melt faces, then next thing you know you're Walter white and everythings gone to shit for the 100th time and you're laughing and scaring your wife in the crawlspace! Poi!

[Magistrum]

I just came here to say with a serious tone: Breathing that thing might cause skin, throat and eye irritations due to an acid gas formed by the mixing, but the other compounds minimize it and don't cause harm.

Try cleaning a window with that, tell us what happens.
Also, where exactly you are to have those things lying on your desk and what kind of petroleum is that?

Fun fact: One artificial sweetener, and I cannot for the life of me remember which one, allegedly exists only because a lab assistant misheard an instruction to "test this" as "taste this". And actually did it, without question.
