Is this prank harmless?

Me and my siblings are gonna play a (hopefully) harmful prank on uncle!We are gonna get an empty water bottle fill it with some water and baking soda.When he runs it over with his car the citric acid will fall into the broken bottle and it will explode!!But I'm not sure if the explosion will pop his tire!?!Is this prank to risky?Will his tire pop or something??

it will not burst the tire!

but it is unlikely to work the way you think, a full bottle is difficult to drive over because the tyre is likely to push the bottle away rather than go over it and if the car does go over the bottle the Weight of the car is very likely to just force the top off the bottle with a loud pop (the pressure of the car on the bottle is similar to the pressures you want to create chemically)

The main safety considerations are that the lid will leave the bottle at a high speed and although unlikely to cause much damage could cause injury to passers by.

Okay, you fill bottle with water and baking soda. He runs over it. Assuming it does break, where does this citric acid come from? The sky? And even if you manage to get citric acid in the equation, how is this now broken and flat bottle going to explode? It's no longer sealed.

Yes, I know school is out, but find something else to do. Go to the park and play basketball instead.

It might not pop the tire, but it could ruin other parts of the car or shoot out in not so safe directions. I probably wouldn't do it.


Kurt

at best its mean

Yes it will pop and no it wont do anything to the tire but what happens if your uncle has a heart attack or something, best not to do this at all....
