to my knowledge it's not possible. Cyanide needs nitrogen and the styrofoam molecule has none. In practice maybe when they make styrofoam they add a nitrogen containing molecule. Or I suppose it's possible that it interacts with nitrogen in air, but I'm skeptical until I do the free energy calculation to prove it. I think a bigger problem is that it doesn't fully combust the carbon down to CO2 and then you're breathing in partially decomposed products which might be harmful.
@@TaylorSparks Thanks for your quick and thorough response! The absence of nitrogen is exactly why I doubted it could be accurate. I appreciate your input. Take care!
Imagine having this guy as teacher!
😁😁😁
k thank's G imma get a A for my science heat transfer assessment
Thank you. Your studdies are good.
Kind of random question, does burning styrofoam produce cyanide? I heard that statement and couldn't understand how it would be possible

i guess it is not hydrophobic material, right?
what product can a person by to make Styrofoam at home
Don't, it's a carcenogen. It will kill you.
damn interesting
