Tales from the Prep Room: Lighting a match with a single drop of water (2012x25)
:
Responding to a comment left on YouTube, Andy attempts to find out whether it's possible to light a match using just a single drop of water and a piece of Sodium.
However, it seems that Andy may have to move further down the Periodic table before he can claim success.
If you have suggestions for any other experiments to try in the prep room then please leave a comment below.
