MODERATORS
Those are both already poison. 😂
Funny thing about a strong base & a strong acid, when you put them together you get a powerful reaction which can be somewhat explosive - so that's the implied fifth panel. But then they neutralise each other and you get a fairly inert salt.
The thing that makes them highly reactive - and thus toxic - is their affinity for ionic bonds. But once those bonds form, that same affinity makes the salt stable and safe. Ammonium chloride is used in cough medicine.
I'm pretty sure Ammonia and Clorox Bleach are both alkali, also they famously mix to produce chloride gases, which aren't salt and definitely aren't innert.
You're right actually, I thought it was chlorine.
Nevermind, they're turbofucked.
They are both alkali. Although I believe the process does make some chlorine gas, it almost all reacts and you get chloramine gas as an end result. Also very toxic, and what people die from who mix these.
Ty for clarifying the gases. Chem is my worst STEM subject, so I'm not surprised I got something wrong.
