ScienceC | Exploding Pumpkins with Calcium Carbide @ScienceC | Uploaded October 2019 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
In celebration of Halloween, I wanted to explode a bunch of pumpkins using a mixture of calcium carbide and water. This reaction creates the flammable acetylene gas which can be easily ignited with a lighter or blow torch.
