Are you serious? I'm a mechanical engineering major and even I didn't know mixing bleach and vinegar made chlorine gas. It's not basic knowledge you just happen to have pop in your brain.
I'm not sure about the bleach/vinegar combination, but I know for a fact that if you mix bleach and ammonia, it will kill you. This is almost the same formula they used to use in the gas chamber.
Just because you are an engineering major doesn't mean you'll know everything by default. Plus, I don't know about you, but my school offers a "chemistry for engineers" class that replaces the normal chemistry classes some other students have to take. If you take something like that, I can assure you they are going to focus mostly in solids, than, well, the liquid/aqueous part of most things, because as an engineer, you'll be mostly focused in that. Unless you are a biomedical engineering major, they have to know a little bit of everything.
By stating I'm an engineering major I was implying I'm not exactly an idiot. I'm not saying a genius by any means because I'm no where close, but I like to think I'm at least of average intelligence so I was making the point that someone of average intelligence wouldn't necessarily know this but even someone with above average intelligence might not know this but that doesn't mean they need to die under darwinism.
I'm not saying it doesnt, I'm saying because someone doesn't know this doesn't mean we should let them die by listening to people who they think are trying to help them and call that Darwinism.
My apologies. I never once implied you were one. Besides, it's not really common knowledge either unless you know the alternate name for vinegar (and/or the formula). Only people who have really good memory, or have really study that will have an idea (or know what's going on). Same like you, as a mechanical engineer; for you, saying euclidean vectors as if it were something different than just saying "vectors". Some will know, some others, not really.
Bleach contains a base (and it's conjugate acid) for that reason. This makes a buffer solution, so smaller additions of acid or base don't change the pH too much.
Aww come on, I just wanted to see some older posts. Although I like your username, I want to add that you are the only person who has pestered me so far.
In other words, no one's going to die.
