my son swallowed a marble that comes from magnetic toys, not `sure what to do. Its chrome or lead?

Lead isnot allowed for use in any childrens toys. It may be a good idea to have him checked out anyhow by a doctor to ensure the marble doesn't cause a blockage in his intestines. Best of luck to you both!

Lead poisoning is caused by eating or breathing lead-contaminated substances. Small children may get lead poisoning by licking, chewing, or mouthing lead-based paint on toys or woodwork such as windowsills. Small children also may be exposed by playing in and breathing or swallowing lead-contaminated dust or soil.

You will get Silver Chromate as the precipitate.  It is red in color.\n2AgNO3(aqueous) + K2CrO4(aqueous) -> Ag2CrO4(solid) + 2KNO3(aqueous)

You need to just "bite the bullet", and get it into a shop!\n\nBeing so clueless as you are, you will destroy that toy!

Ah ha.  Thermite.  Magnesium ribbon would be the usual method to start this reaction.\n\nBe careful with this reaction...

It fades over time. You can recharge it by rubbing it on a more charged magnet piece =) This is why metals basic (like the ones in pins) can act as magnets =)

Ok. Either youve seriously mispelled MAGGOTS or MAGNETS. Which is it? \n\nYou get magnets at the store. They are man made. Rare Earth Magnets costs hundreds of dollars for one the size of a quarter! \n\nMaggots you get from flys laying eggs...they are the larvae of flys. Some can actually make a popping sound and then fly through the air! I would supposed that if you werent dead, you could still get magggots on an open wound that isnt cared for and kept clean/dry.

You may have just broke an IDE pin in that case soldering a new pin would work. But if you opened the drive so you can see the platters then it's toast.\nHard drives are made in a clean enviroment where they enter the roon through an airlock and wear clean white suits.\nIf you opened it then you might just as well toss it it's toast. On the up side the platters make for cool wind chimes.\nAnd you can have fun with the magnets that control the arm of the read/write heads. They are powerful little things. Just be carful when playing with them. I had one magnet on the back of my hand and one on the front and they stuck to my hand I slid them down to my fingers and they clamped on the webbing between my fingers and tore a chunk of skin off. That was painful.

if we don't use lead any more than don't worry about it.......your body will reject it on it's own time, unless it is hurting.....then see a doctor

You were out taking a walk and found it sticking to your washing machine.  Where you from?\n\nSounds like polished magnetite.  They sell them in rock shops and novelty shops.

One way is to plate metal as a substitute for chromium. Rhodium is often referred to as hard chrome.

yeah get a small flake of metal in there. it hurt pretty bad. it was leaking tears till i got the piece taken out.

Your best bet would be to use water and make a salt water solution.  Using a magnet would work well unless you had a lot of iron fillings together and they were under some salt and all of them were pulled out of the mixture.  Then you would still have salt with the iron.  \n\nMake a aqueous(with water) solution, filter, and allow the water to evaporate.

Only partly in jest... beat it with a hammer and shatter the ceramic, or heat the steel til it melts and flows away from the ceramic -- both assume some sort of bond between the ceramic and steel.  The actual quickest answer depends on how the ceramic and steel are attached.  It could be as simple as lifting which ever is on top.  \n\nSee what happens when you as an ill-defined question?

kind of.  these days, pencils are made of graphite, which is not harmful like lead is.  it can get caught under the skin, in which case you'll have a blackish gray mark underneath the surface indefinitely (i have one on my thumb).

I don't think it is lead if it is a pencil, that is probably graphite. \n\nIt shouldn't be too bad for you. I think I've gotten pencil stuck in me before too. If you have a lot of money and really feel like it-get it checked out or removed. Otherwise just watch it. If something bad really starts to happen, it should at least become inflamed.

What the hell are you eating.  Marbles.
