4-nitroaniline is a chemical that's commonly used to make things like dyes and pharmaceuticals, but I just want to burn it because it has a cool reaction. I just have to add some 4-nitroaniline to a dish, along with some sulfuric acid. Now I just have to heat it up with a Bunsen burner, and it's supposed to quickly expand into a cool snake thing.
