Crack is a street drug as is cocaine. Crack's main ingredient is cocaine, although it has gone through a process of bastardization and the form is comverted from powder to "rock"- yes, crack is usually smoked although it can be injected as well. Usually cocaine is snorted through the nose in powder form.\n\nCrack cocaine, a form of cocaine base, is derived from powder cocaine. Unlike the processing of freebase cocaine, converting powder cocaine into crack cocaine does not involve any flammable solvents. The powder cocaine is simply dissolved in a solution of sodium bicarbonate and water. The solution is boiled and a solid substance separates from the boiling mixture. This solid substance, crack, is removed and allowed to dry. The crack cocaine is then broken or cut into "rocks," each typically weighing from one-tenth to one-half of a gram. One gram of pure powder cocaine will convert to approximately 0.89 grams of crack cocaine. The DEA estimates that crack rocks are between 75% and 90% pure cocaine. \n\nThe name "crack" comes from the crackling sound the drug makes when it is burned;

The sugar in the mentos reacts with the carbonate in the coke causing gasses to form and pressure to increase inside the bottle, when this pressure is released the gasses will shoot out causing it to "rocket".

The nail is important in protecting the sensitive nerve-endings, and this needs to be addressed with a doctor in order to help her develop normally.\n\nPossible causes:\n1. Fungal infection.\n2. Nervous system disorder.\n3. Nutritional deficiency.\n4. Mineral deficiency.\n5. Genetics.\n6. Compulsive behavior (Tourette's - no, not as in swearing; most people with Tourette's compulsively pick at some part of the body)\n7. Defect in the nailbed or nail matrix.\n\nStart with a pediatrician and have him or her refer you to a good dermatologist.

The anaemia that occurs with infective endocarditis is not haemolytic.  Instead, it is the normocytic (normal sized) normochromic (normal coloured) anaemia associated with chronic disease.  In this case, it occurs because there is an established infection.  \nLike the anaemia, clubbing of the fingernails is associated with prolonged infective endocarditis.  We aren't entirely sure about the mechanism behind it.  What we do know is that it relates to increasing blood flow in the clubbed area, and that is likely due to dilation of the blood vessels there. No one can really agree as to why this happens.

I also vote for Coke. We use it at home to remove rust from screws and bolts.

Answering...\n\nIron nails are most likely made of pure iron or steel...\n\nIron tablets come in soluble compounds, the combination of which produce substances that look entirely different from pure iron...However, when dissolved, water or acids in the body will react with the compounds and separate iron from it...

Nail polish is mostly water, but the effective ingredient is acetone, a ketone with the formula:\n\nCH3 - CO - CH3\n\nwhere CO is a carbon double-bound to an oxygen (a carbonyl).

sometimes, your own perspiration causes metals to corrode.  This has to do with the composition on your sweat.  It's the same reason that some jewelry that isn't gold turns green after a while.

something hard and black which dropped on my sandalled foot once and caused me to loose my toenail (one of the 500 ways I have done this to myself)........rubber, plastic, tar?

It's smoking it out of a pipe. It's flamable and that's how a certain celebrity caught his face on fire.\n As far as I know, there's only one kind of cocaine. Depending on how it's used, what it's cut with it may seem like there's several kinds but they all come from the same plant.

There is an internet myth going around that says if you put a T-bone steak in a bowl of Coca Cola (active ingredient is supposedly phosphoric acid) for two days, that theoretically the steak is going to dissolve. I think it will not dissolve, but it might change texture or color slightly. You would do the Internet world a favor to try that out and explain why it does, or doesn't dissolve in Coca Cola. You could also use that as an argument for or against having junk food and soft drinks in school cafeterias and halls.

If it is a poly alcohol/ hot water mixture then it will be less corrosive and will have less effect on copper compared to plain hot water.

copper. because it can oxidize easier. That is why statue of liberty is green.

The mineral granite is not affected by acetone (which is nail polish remover). Nail polish can be used to seal the mineral from corrosive influences in air or water, but there are better skinning agents.
