One of the most common chemistry experiments done in a classroom. I see this all the time on the web and tv, and you will see this reaching done if you take chemistry.

BTW, I as pleased to discover that this works with "drain cleaner" sulfuric acid (not all drain cleaner is sulfuric acid, and the stuff I bought is no where near as pure as the acid used here. But it DID work...)
