00:00iBeliebers, it's Experiment Time!
00:05Ate Shai, have you seen a burning ice?
00:09As in, a burning ice?
00:11Yes.
00:12Is there such a thing, Chris?
00:13Yes, there is.
00:14I'll show you how to make a burning ice.
00:19Okay, iBeliebers, look at this.
00:21What we need is, of course, ice, right?
00:24We need a fire-resistant bowl.
00:27We also have calcium carbide, or what we call calburo.
00:33Okay.
00:34This is what we use to burn the mangoes.
00:37Oh, that's what it is.
00:39Okay, okay.
00:40We also need a lighter, a candle, and of course, safety gear.
00:44That's right.
00:45iBeliebers, remember, safety first, okay?
00:49If you're going to do this experiment, you should have someone older than you, okay?
00:53That's right, Ate Shai.
00:54There, Ate Shai, thank you for reminding me.
00:56So, let's put on our gloves.
00:57Gloves.
00:58We also need a mask because there are chemicals involved.
01:00Safety goggles.
01:03Okay.
01:04I'll open it.
01:06This calcium carbide, or calburo, is in powdered form.
01:11And then, we'll just spread it out in the bowl.
01:20I can already smell it, right?
01:22That's what it is.
01:23Mmm, it smells good.
01:24Wow.
01:25Ate Shai, please put some ice.
01:27Ice.
01:28Please put some ice in our bowl.
01:31Oh, it's smoking.
01:32Woah.
01:34It's smoking.
01:35It's smoking.
01:36It's smoking, Kuya Chris.
01:39Like that.
01:40Oh, it smells.
01:42Yes, like that.
01:43There.
01:44Okay.
01:45Let's try it.
01:46Let's put it aside.
01:47Okay.
01:48Here it is.
01:49Let's light the candle now.
01:50In three, two, one.
01:54Woah.
01:56Woah.
01:58Right?
01:59There's an explosion effect.
02:01Wow.
02:02It's like New Year, Kuya Chris.
02:04Happy New Year.
02:05Right?
02:06Have you ever seen burning ice?
02:08No.
02:09This is the first.
02:10This is the first, Kuya Chris.
02:11Oh my goodness.
02:13Wow.
02:17Kuya Chris, I'm really surprised.
02:20It's true.
02:21It's really surprising.
02:23Why did you do that?
02:25Wow.
02:27That's why you need a stick, right, Kuya Chris?
02:29Yes, that's right.
02:31Oh my, don't stick it with your hands.
02:33It should be like this.
02:34You should have a long stick.
02:36Chemistry is the key to this experiment.
02:38Okay, chemistry.
02:39When calcium carbide mixes with water, in this case, with ice,
02:45it produces acetylene gas, which is a flammable gas.
02:49And because it has acetylene gas, when we stick it with ice, it will float.
02:54That's amazing, Kuya Chris.
02:58Science, right? Chemistry is really good at science.
02:59Correct.
