Apart from water or alcohol the standard solvents, using the liquid, Earth’s atmosphere at STP, give me an example of two solid substances in powder form mixed that will react to produce a compound in a some "reasonably short" amount of time.
There is an entire field of chemistry called mechanochemistry that explores the mixing of solids with either grinding or milling to cause a chemical reaction. You can do some aldol reactions with milling (through you do need three components - a ketone, an aldehyde, and a base catalyst).
Very nice. Thank you for sharing. ✨
You are welcome. Nice channel btw.
