Smoky Splash II Smoke without fire

Who said there is no smoke without fire?
We can make a smoky splash with out fire in a flask. It is a insetting experiment. It is supposed to be performed only by professional.

Reagents & Equipment

1. sodium bicarbonate(baking soda).

2. concentrated solution of ammonia.
3. concentrated hydrochloric acid.
4. Round bottom flask

procedure

1.Add solutions of sodium bicarbonate, ammonia and hydrochloric acid into a round bottom flask

2.A stream of smoke bursts out of the flask.

Process

The smoke consist of small crystals of ammonium chloride,which form in the reaction between hydrochloric acid and ammonia. Sodium bicarbonate react with HCl to form CO₂ which in turn pushes the ammonium chloride out of the flask producing the smoke.
