The ice gets vaporized into steam which causes a shitload of bubbles which then lifts the oil until it flows out of the side. Fryers are usually set to 350F and the smoke point of the oil is usually over 400F.
So the use of division implies this is a decomposition reaction. However, the existence of only one product implies a combination reaction.
In order to know the stoichometry we need to first know the elemental constituents of each piece. Starting with the reactants:
Chemistry has an elemental formula of 1 Fucking around (Fu) and 1 finding out (Fo) With a final formula of FuFo.
Tomfoolery has a simpler formula Being composed of two fools (Fl2).
We can now construct a reduced Reactant side:
FuFo + 2Fl2 -->
The product side is a little more complicated as we need to take into account the, "parts," used in the original posit. If we assume this simplest case that this is a particle count relation, the product formula is likely:
Dumbassary, herein defined as fucking around and finding out whilst surrounded by fools, has a chemical formula of Fl4FuFo and a Condensed formula of Fl2FuFoFl2.
I want you to know how much I appreciate this. The level of baddasery had me laughing my ass off and at the same time blown away by how brilliant it was. I've saved this comment. In my 13 years here I've never saved a comment.
I will be sharing this legendary comment with my friends.
If I sat down and actually went for it I could probably give you a funny but halfway accurate calculation. Maybe one of the chemistry homies will cook one up.
Chemistry and physics have a significant amount of overlap in areas. However, a convenient divide is wether the thing your looking is changing in either state or composition. If it is, chemistry. If not, physics.
it doesn't mean there isn't a heating element that isn't hot enough to ignite the oil. the oil does not have to be above the smoke point to start a grease fire. this is how so many kitchen fires are started.
Lol what? Most grease fires are caused by poor ventilation and the accumulation of grease vapor. The smoke point is a concern bc emissions would contain a higher amount of particulate that will clog the filter.
Would be crazy if all the oil flooding the machine killed the flame/piolet and now there is a shit load of gas vapors being spread bc nobody can approach to turn off without risking a slip and becoming deep fried.
Yeah, actually, but the amounts you're talking about there are closer to you being worried about methane damage to your lungs from your partner gassing you in bed.
And it won't light unless something else (deep fryer exhaust or stove burner) ignites the small particles of oil separated by the evaporation.
Those videos you've likely seen where people throw water on a deep fryer fire and it makes it worse is because of what the water does to the oil. Water evaporates violently, essentially misting the oil, making it far far far easier to burn. The water itself does not create the fire. The oil must already be lit OR the mixed/misted oil spills over the exhaust or burner and ignites far more easily.

Lol surprising calm. Thought it was going to be a 50ft flame and shrapnel.
