Alright, so let’s say this bottle suddenly appeared on your kitchen counter:

t = 0:

t = 0 to t = 0.01 milliseconds: The initial decomposition reaction of C₂O releases a significant amount of heat. The heat from this reaction will cause the wax paper bottle to begin melting almost instantly. This would expose the highly reactive C₂O directly to the air. Since the wax paper is flammable, the intense heat would cause the bottle to ignite, adding burning wax to the mix.

t = 0.01 milliseconds to t = 0.1 milliseconds:

t = 0.1 milliseconds to t = 1 millisecond:

t = 1 millisecond to t = 1 second:

(t = 1 second and beyond):
