In France, the lye roll is known as a mauricette, it was invented by Paul Poulaillon in the Alsace region when he opened the first Poulaillon bakery in 1973. It was later registered as a trademark with an alternate name, Moricette, in 1985.[1] The lard was then replaced by rapeseed oil.[2]

[Morningstar88]

Lye

Lye roll and pretzels immediately after baking. In order to cause a Maillard reaction during baking for the characteristic browning effect, a lye roll needs to be coated with a high pH (alkaline) solution. The higher the pH, the stronger the reaction. Lye (sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or potassium hydroxide (KOH)) is a highly alkaline agent most commonly used for the purpose.

[Morningstar88]

To create lye from the hydrogen peroxide and baking soda paste, you can indeed use electrolysis. Here's how it works:

1. Ingredients:

   • Hydrogen peroxide (available in most pharmacies)
   • Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)

2. Procedure:

   • Mix the hydrogen peroxide and baking soda in a container.
   • Place the container under a gentle heat source (like a desk lamp) to warm it up.
   • The chemical reactions occur:
     • First: $$2\text{NaHCO}_3 + \text{H}_2\text{O}_2 \rightarrow \text{Na}_2\text{O}_2 + 2\text{H}_2\text{O} + 2\text{CO}_2$$ (baking soda + hydrogen peroxide → sodium peroxide + water + carbon dioxide)
     • Then: $$\text{Na}_2\text{O}_2 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow 2\text{NaOH} + (\text{O})^\uparrow$$ (sodium peroxide + water → 2 sodium hydroxides + a single oxygen atom)
     • This creates lye (sodium hydroxide) and water after the gases have bubbled out.

3. Safety Precautions:

   • Wear rubber gloves and splash-guarding goggles for safety.
   • Use a glass container to avoid reactions with other materials.

Remember, lye is caustic, so handle it carefully! 🧪🌟

Shocking allegations from former JZ Knight follower

Posted 5:57 PM, April 18, 2014, by Q13 FOX News Staff, Updated at 06:08pm, April 18, 2014

Coverdale said her family started following Knight more than three decades ago

She said members were encouraged to drink a concoction of Dead Sea water mixed with Red Devil Lye to enlighten themselves. She said her mother and brother were among those who drank the lye concoction.

“This wasn’t just a onetime thing,” Coverdale said “They were taking it for five years and Ramtha at one point told them to chug it. This was not just a teaspoon in the morning, in the evening. People were losing their hair.” . “If I feed you lye, it’s going to cause huge ulcers in your esophagus; it could kill you if you took it straight,” Keay said.

The physician said he met many of the followers through his practice and was so concerned that he wrote a letter to the Thurston County Health Department warning that followers were getting sick and, Keay claimed, even dying.

[Morningstar88]

Red devil lye, fats of your choice and use a saponification table to get the sodium hydroxide to fat ratio correct. I use a stick blender to get the reaction going --

[Morningstar88]

Actually that is how all soap is made, except glycerin soap --

[Morningstar88]

  -- Mix the sodium hydroxide in the correct amount of water outside. Add the lye to the water, not the other way. Exothermic reaction and irritating fumes  

[Morningstar88]

Container will get hot enough to burn your hands if you're stupid enough to be holding it. These days, with such a dumbed down genetically degraded population...just go buy your soap. --

[Morningstar88]

been making soap for years after saponification there is no lye

[Morningstar88]

Interesting! Me too! I'm getting closer and closer to be fully offgrid. Last week, I managed to extract about 1 litter of oil from primrose seeds. I already use only corn oil I extract myself, organic corn BTW. Wheat, rice, beans, eggs, chicken and tilapia(don't know the name in english, but its a fish), potatoes, lettuce, tomatoes, cabbage, brussel sprouts, carrots beet, green beans, many kinds of pumpkins, watermelons, mellons, oranges, avocados, apples, pineaples, nuts, sugar cane, milk... all that organic enough to feed the whole family and with a lot of leftovers which I sell and buy the things I don't produce...YET.

[Morningstar88]

I make soap. It's so much better than store bought. My family loves it. I do lotions, salves and balms, too. I would never go back.

The lather depends on the ingredients you use. It can be creamy or foamy. It's always better.

[Morningstar88]

There are many recipes online. You must use proper equipment. Soap Queen is a good place to start. She has a lot of videos on YouTube you can watch.

[Morningstar88]

Just an update on the soap making...Going reall well! Waaay easier then I thought it would be made a bunch but this mechanic soap turned out awesome, used ground coffee beans and oats for grit. Won't be rich but I'll smell good.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloralkali_process

[Morningstar88]

Usually the process is conducted on a brine (an aqueous solution of NaCl), in which case sodium hydroxide (NaOH), hydrogen, and chlorine result. When using calcium chloride or potassium chloride, the products contain calcium or potassium instead of sodium. Related processes are known that use molten NaCl to give chlorine and sodium metal or condensed hydrogen chloride to give hydrogen and chlorine.

[Morningstar88]

Although the first formation of chlorine by the electrolysis of brine was attributed to chemist William Cruikshank in 1800, it was 90 years later that the electrolytic method was used successfully on a commercial scale. Industrial scale production began in 1892.[7] In 1833, Faraday formulated the laws that governed the electrolysis of aqueous solutions, and patents were issued to Cook and Watt in 1851 and to Stanley in 1853 for the electrolytic production of chlorine from brine

[Morningstar88]

Lye and potash are both alkaline substances, but they differ in their chemical composition and uses. Here's a brief overview:

Lye:

• Typically refers to sodium hydroxide (NaOH), also known as caustic soda⁵.
• It's an alkaline liquid traditionally made by leaching ashes, particularly wood ashes, to produce a caustic basic solution².
• Lye is used in food preparation, soap making, and as a household cleaner².

Potash:

• Generally refers to potassium carbonate (K2CO3) and other potassium salts¹.
• It's the water-soluble part of the ash formed by burning plant material and is used for making soap, glass, and as a fertilizer¹.
• In historical terms, potash also refers to potassium hydroxide (KOH), which is sometimes called caustic potash⁵.

The main difference lies in the metal element of their hydroxides—lye contains sodium, while potash contains potassium. They are not interchangeable and have different properties and uses in various applications³.

Cheers! Regarding your question, soapy water does not deactivate chlorine. In fact, adding soap to water that contains chlorine, such as a swimming pool, can disrupt the pH balance and lead to issues like cloudiness and foam formation¹. It's important to maintain the proper chemical balance in pools to ensure the effectiveness of chlorine in sanitizing the water.

For general cleaning purposes, if chlorine needs to be neutralized, substances like hydrogen peroxide are used instead of soapy water⁴. However, it's always best to follow specific guidelines for the type of cleaning or maintenance you're doing to ensure safety and effectiveness.

[Morningstar88]

Yes, that's correct! Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) can neutralize chlorine through a chemical reaction. When hydrogen peroxide is added to water containing chlorine, it reacts with the chlorine to form water (H₂O) and oxygen (O₂). This reaction effectively removes the active chlorine from the water, rendering it neutral.

Here's a simplified version of the chemical reaction: $$ \text{H}_2\text{O}_2 + \text{Cl}_2 \rightarrow \text{H}_2\text{O} + 2\text{Cl}^- + \text{O}_2 $$

This process is used in various applications, including swimming pools, to reduce chlorine levels. For instance, if a pool is overchlorinated, adding hydrogen peroxide can help bring down the chlorine concentration to a safer level¹. It's a quick and effective method to correct the chlorine balance without having to wait for it to dissipate naturally.

However, it's important to note that the hydrogen peroxide used for pools is much stronger than the typical household variety found in pharmacies. Pool-grade hydrogen peroxide is specially formulated for this purpose⁴.

In addition to hydrogen peroxide, other substances like sodium thiosulfate and ascorbic acid are also used to neutralize chlorine in pools². It's essential to follow proper guidelines and dosages when using these chemicals to ensure safety and maintain the right balance in the water.

KEY

[Morningstar88]

Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) can be neutralized by various substances, depending on the context and the concentration of H₂O₂. Here are some common neutralizers:

• Sunlight: H₂O₂ will naturally decompose into water (H₂O) and oxygen (O₂) when exposed to sunlight¹.
• Mild Acids: Adding mild acids like oxalic acid can render H₂O₂ inert by bringing its pH level closer to neutral¹.
• Active Carbon: Active carbon can also be used to neutralize hydrogen peroxide¹.
• Catalase: This enzyme is found in most living organisms and can rapidly catalyze the decomposition of H₂O₂ into water and oxygen⁴.
• Neutralization Tablets: In some applications, like contact lens cleaning, neutralization tablets are added to H₂O₂ solutions to make them safe for use³.

It's important to handle the neutralization process carefully, especially with higher concentrations of hydrogen peroxide, as the reaction can be exothermic and produce heat. For household concentrations (around 3%), simply diluting with water and allowing it to decompose naturally is often sufficient¹. For stronger solutions, specific neutralizing agents should be used following safety guidelines.

Hello! When you add lemon juice, which contains citric acid, to a weak hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) solution, the citric acid can act as a catalyst for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water (H₂O) and oxygen (O₂) gas. This reaction is represented by the following equation:

$$ 2H_2O_2 \rightarrow 2H_2O + O_2 $$

The citric acid in lemon juice helps to speed up this reaction, although it is not consumed in the process. It's important to note that the reaction can be quite slow without a catalyst, but the presence of citric acid, even in small amounts, can significantly increase the rate of decomposition⁵⁶. The reaction is also influenced by factors such as temperature and pH level¹.

So, in essence, adding lemon juice to a weak H₂O₂ solution initiates a catalytic reaction that results in the production of water and oxygen gas. Cheers to chemistry! 🍋🧪

[Morningstar88]

The gas emitted during the reaction between hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and citric acid from lemon juice is oxygen (O₂). This is a result of the catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen gas, which can be observed as bubbles forming in the solution. Here's the chemical equation again for clarity:

$$ 2H_2O_2 \rightarrow 2H_2O + O_2 $$

So, when you see bubbles after adding lemon juice to hydrogen peroxide, that's oxygen gas being released. Pretty cool, right? 😊

Yes, the chlorine smell was definitely from somewhere else. The reaction between citric acid and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) does not produce chlorine gas. In the reaction where citric acid catalyzes the decomposition of H₂O₂, the only gas produced is oxygen (O₂).

Chlorine gas has a distinct and strong odor and is not a byproduct of the reaction you described. If you smelled chlorine, it could have been due to the presence of other chemicals or reactions taking place nearby. It's important to ensure good ventilation when working with chemicals to avoid inhaling potentially harmful gases. Always be cautious and try to identify the source of any unexpected odors when conducting experiments. Stay safe! 😊

CONV LIMIT REACHED:

thanks.. now what happens when you add baking soda to a weak h2o2 solution? are trace amounts of lye created?

FROM QUORA, NOT COPILOT

When you mix baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and hydrogen peroxide in equal parts by weight, a chemical reaction occurs. This reaction produces water, oxygen gas, and sodium percarbonate [1].

Here is a breakdown of what happens when you mix baking soda and hydrogen peroxide together:

Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide: Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a compound that readily decomposes into water (H2O) and oxygen gas (O2). This decomposition reaction is exothermic, meaning it releases heat energy. Reaction with Baking Soda: Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO3) is a basic compound. When it comes into contact with the acidic hydrogen peroxide, a neutralization reaction occurs. This reaction results in the formation of water and sodium percarbonate (Na2CO3·H2O2), also known as sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate. Formation of Sodium Percarbonate: Sodium percarbonate is a solid compound that is commonly used as a cleaning agent and laundry detergent. It is a combination of sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Sodium percarbonate is a powerful oxidizing agent and can release oxygen when dissolved in water. Overall, the reaction between baking soda and hydrogen peroxide produces water, oxygen gas, and sodium percarbonate. The release of oxygen gas can cause the mixture to become pressurized, as observed in some cases
