A Science Question

[Shemtov]

This will probably get closed soon, but anyhow:
What happens if you put a quarter in fire?
Are the fumes poisen?

 

[Timstuff]

No. Put a quarter in a fire, and you get a quarter covered in soot. Unless the fire is really friggin' hot.

 

[Hotwire]

How hot is the fire?

 

[VenomVsSpidey]

How hot is the fire?

this hot.

 

[Shemtov]

But are the fumes Poison?

 

[Hotwire]

A quarter, minted after 1965, is made up of 91.67% copper, and 8.33% nickle. The nickle in the quarter would melt at 1453 C or 2647 F. The copper would melt at 1083 C or 1981 F.

Other than that, check these out.

But are the fumes Poison?

You can check the links I posted, but it doesn't seem like it. Have you been huffing them or something? I'm rather curious why this concerns you.

 

[Shemtov]

I'm did an experement involving putting a quarter in fire.......I feel sort of eird so I'm checking if the fumes are poison.

Well, if they are making you feel eird, they may be. What kind of fire did you put it in? Just a bunson burner, or toss it in the fireplace?

a Chanukah fire. Olive Oil feul with wool wicks, origannally lit by a garden-variety Safety match.

I think you're fine. Although, it seems to have affected your ability to spell properly.

Are you searching for the philosophers stone or something?t:

 

[Timstuff]

Or is the small metal object he desires to toss into the fire not really a quarter?



If so, then he's got bigger things to worry about than toxic fumes.

science is the devil!!!

 

[Asteroid-Man]

Fire won't melt the metal. Atleast not the fire you describe. If fumes of some sort did get to your head it would be whatever the coin is covered with. Ex: Did you fish the quarter out of a pile of poo?

 

[Spidey-Bat]

Don't worry, Thor. You'll be dead by sunrise.

Another wonderful thread, from your friend, Thor Odinson.

maybe Loki is trying to turn you into a frog.

There's no such thing as a Chanukah fire. You were smoking weed, and in that case, you're supposed to feel like that.

You moron, everybody knows that Jews are deathly allergic to weed.
