When Drano and aluminum are placed together in a bottle it creates an explosion. The explosion varies when immersed in water. Whereas, it only melts.
Drano is not hydrochloric acid... Drano is the exact opposite. It's a base. This is why people end up doing stupid stuff and getting chemical burns on their face. If you think Drano is the same as HCI, then mix some Drano and HCI. If your right and its the same thing, nothing will happen. (Hint: Make sure you have somebody standing by to drive you the the hospital after you mix it).
It is not recommended to put bleach in the drain as it can damage pipes and may react with other substances to produce harmful gases. It is better to use a specialized drain cleaner or a mixture of baking soda and vinegar for unclogging drains.
The active ingredients in Drano are typically sodium hydroxide (lye), sodium hypochlorite (bleach), and aluminum. These chemicals work together to break down clogs in drains by dissolving organic material.
Yes, cleaning a sink with Drano involves a chemical reaction. Drano contains chemicals that react with the clogs in the sink, breaking them down into smaller, soluble particles that can be washed away with water. This reaction helps to clear the blockage in the sink.
When steel is placed in bleach, a chemical reaction occurs. The bleach will start to oxidize the steel, causing it to rust. This can result in the formation of iron oxide, which gives the appearance of the steel surface corroding or breaking down.
Not until you've run LOTS of water down the drain.
Lye is a solid alkaline chemical compound used in food preparation, soap making, and other processes. Drano is a commercial drain cleaner that typically contains lye as well as other chemicals that help break down clogs in drains. While lye is a pure substance, Drano is a branded product designed specifically for unclogging drains.

Heck no as it is a very carcinogenic mixture
I would say a bleach and water solution would be best. Bleach is a universal disinfectant. If you can't drain it, just wipe it down.
Wow i had this same exact question in my chemistry lab book at Los Al. Hydroxides are caustic, causing them to eat away what is in the drain. Also, hydroxide compounds are usually very slippery, causing the clog to slip down.
The drain water eventually goes to the ocean.. That's called pollution..
A base, perhaps sodium hydroxide. When in solution this base ionizes into charged atoms that are attracted to the material clogging the drain and also disrupting it's atom structure so that it degrades enough to unclog the drain.

The base found in Drano is typically sodium hydroxide, also known as lye or caustic soda. It is a highly alkaline substance that helps break down and dissolve organic matter in clogged drains.
No, it is not safe to use Drano in a septic system as it can harm the beneficial bacteria that break down waste in the system, potentially causing damage and clogs.
