a science question

I put 1000 wooden matches into 1/2 gallon of bleach. the bleach got really hot. can anyone explain why?

[ChrisTheCop]

The matches were lit.

chemical reaction. the bleach reacts with the sulfer on the match heads.
kind of like if you pour blood into a cup of hydro peroxide.
the peroxide will react with the blood, and actually start to boil.

Try mixing ammonia and bleach in a small, unventilated room. Just for kicks.

Just might kill you.

Because you're an idiot, that's why.:dry:

One says, "You put 1000 wooden matches into my 1/2 gallon of bleach"

The other says, "You put a 1/2 gallon of bleach into my 1000 wooden matches"

I was talking to a friend yesterday about the derivation of terms we use in everyday life such as: “Pull out all the stops.” My friend told me that the term comes from church organists. To muffle and dampen the sounds of the huge pipe-organs, the player can use the stops for particular pipes. Those are the levers he/she pulls out that are located above the keys when sitting at an organ. If you, ‘pull out all the stops,’ you are playing wide open, loud and thusly influence a terms that you can apply to just about anything involving going as hard and as fast as you can. There are some other derivations I was wondering about and I was hoping someone out there can help:

“Take the cake”
“Hell in a hand basket”
“Pardon my French”
“Drop in the bucket”

[TooLowBrow]

“Take the cake”
this is a bakers term, if a baker got fired he would literally take a cake with him, for spite
“Hell in a hand basket”
this was originally hell in a hang glider, it was changed due to the relatively few people who have hang glidered compared to the masses who travel by hand baskets
“Pardon my French”
French people are rude, all rudeness should be attributed to the French
“Drop in the bucket”
this phrase is most often heard in sperm donation clinics, its a way of saying every little bit can help
