00:00iBeliebers, it's Experiment Time!

00:05Ate Shai, have you seen a burning ice?

00:09As in, a burning ice?

00:11Yes.

00:12Is there such a thing, Chris?

00:13Yes, there is.

00:14I'll show you how to make a burning ice.

00:19Okay, iBeliebers, look at this.

00:21What we need is, of course, ice, right?

00:24We need a fire-resistant bowl.

00:27We also have calcium carbide, or what we call calburo.

00:33Okay.

00:34This is what we use to burn the mangoes.

00:37Oh, that's what it is.

00:39Okay, okay.

00:40We also need a lighter, a candle, and of course, safety gear.

00:44That's right.

00:45iBeliebers, remember, safety first, okay?

00:49If you're going to do this experiment, you should have someone older than you, okay?

00:53That's right, Ate Shai.

00:54There, Ate Shai, thank you for reminding me.

00:56So, let's put on our gloves.

00:57Gloves.

00:58We also need a mask because there are chemicals involved.

01:00Safety goggles.

01:03Okay.

01:04I'll open it.

01:06This calcium carbide, or calburo, is in powdered form.

01:11And then, we'll just spread it out in the bowl.

01:20I can already smell it, right?

01:22That's what it is.

01:23Mmm, it smells good.

01:24Wow.

01:25Ate Shai, please put some ice.

01:27Ice.

01:28Please put some ice in our bowl.

01:31Oh, it's smoking.

01:32Woah.

01:34It's smoking.

01:35It's smoking.

01:36It's smoking, Kuya Chris.

01:39Like that.

01:40Oh, it smells.

01:42Yes, like that.

01:43There.

01:44Okay.

01:45Let's try it.

01:46Let's put it aside.

01:47Okay.

01:48Here it is.

01:49Let's light the candle now.

01:50In three, two, one.

01:54Woah.

01:56Woah.

01:58Right?

01:59There's an explosion effect.

02:01Wow.

02:02It's like New Year, Kuya Chris.

02:04Happy New Year.

02:05Right?

02:06Have you ever seen burning ice?

02:08No.

02:09This is the first.

02:10This is the first, Kuya Chris.

02:11Oh my goodness.

02:13Wow.

02:17Kuya Chris, I'm really surprised.

02:20It's true.

02:21It's really surprising.

02:23Why did you do that?

02:25Wow.

02:27That's why you need a stick, right, Kuya Chris?

02:29Yes, that's right.

02:31Oh my, don't stick it with your hands.

02:33It should be like this.

02:34You should have a long stick.

02:36Chemistry is the key to this experiment.

02:38Okay, chemistry.

02:39When calcium carbide mixes with water, in this case, with ice,

02:45it produces acetylene gas, which is a flammable gas.

02:49And because it has acetylene gas, when we stick it with ice, it will float.

02:54That's amazing, Kuya Chris.

02:58Science, right? Chemistry is really good at science.

02:59Correct.
