Hi, Shara!

Mixing household chemicals can be VERY, VERY dangerous. In some combinations, they can produce poisonous fumes that could kill you or someone nearby. Many chemicals can be mixed without harmful effects, but many can't.

What is your project? Why are you considering mixing chemicals? What is the purpose of your experiement?

If we know your goals, we can help you achieve them.

Hi shara!

In addition to previous response, you can provide "what household chemicals are dangerous together?" to answers.com.

Two notes in using answers.com:

1. Generally, the "Sponsored Links" are commercials. So, it's best to skip them and use only the "Web Results."

2. With answers.com, you may need to tweak your wording for best results. (I used this rule to come up with query above.)
