# If black isn't inside white and when toast burns it becomes black
how did the black hide under the white? I've never understood this and nobody has explained it to me in a satisfactory manner.

# That is the most ludicrously hatstand question in the history of everything.
If I were you I'd write it down and read it back to yourself for a few days. I think you may find the reason for your 'unsatisfactory answer' blues.

# all the coloured stuff gets burnt off
what's left has no pigment coloured stuff so it looks black


I think

# The carbon in the atmosphere
is oxidised onto the surface of the bread by the action of heat.

The black comes from the air!

Or something. I just made that up.

Sounded good though, dinnit?
(, Tue 6 Mar 2007, 15:36, archived)
# Hmmm, sounds remotely plausible
So is it the C from CO2 that oxidizes on the surface, or the combustible material from the bread is used in the reaction revealing the carbon in the toast?
(, Tue 6 Mar 2007, 15:38, archived)
# As it burns
carbon is created deposited on the bread, which is the black stuff. Hence why you can scrape it off, as it is lying on top.

I think.

EDIT: thank you Dr.

# I see where you've gone wrong
The black actually hides IN the toatser and when the toats burns, the black leaps out of from behind the burny coil things and attaches itself to the bread.
AKA Science.
Edit: My manners! I forgot to woo the pic (that took me a while to get and then realised it was a compo entry).

# Ok, here's what I think you need to know
Everything organic on this planet is made from a mixture of Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen. K?

When something burns, it releases water (mixture of Hydrogen and Oxygen) and Carbon Dioxide.

However if combustion is inefficient (as in the case of burning toast) there will be a residue of carbon left on the surface of whatever is burning since not enough oxygen combines with the carbon to produce CO2.

Carbon is black. There you go.

# So
If you put diamonds in a toatser, the won't be black despite containing carbon!
That is top science ;)

Judging by the question I thought I'd better explain carefully.

# what about hydrocarbons
no oxygen in those
(, Tue 6 Mar 2007, 15:49, archived)
# No
but the carbon oxidises using the oxygen in the air.

Besides, hydrocarbons aren't organic.

# ?
(second part, not the first; there's plenty of oxygen in the air)

alkanes aren't organic? benzene isn't organic?
news to me
[edit: also, some compunds, such as what you get when you completely halogenate a hydrocarbon, don't even have hydrogen in either]
