Mixing random household chemicals without knowing what they'll do?
Oh, I have no doubt she was just trying something out, but it's hardly guaranteed to be harmless. Worst case, you might mix something like bleach and ammonia, and kill half the school.
Can't tell without further details, but the fact that she was surprised is scary. I wouldn't expel her, though, just give her a long and serious talking-to.

Two seconds of googling suggests that it makes chloramine, which isn't exactly mustard gas ( http://chemistry.about.com/od/toxicchemicals/a/Mixing-Bleach-And-Ammonia.htm http://chemistry.about.com/od/toxicchemicals/a/Mixing-Bleach... ). As for not knowing what the mixture will do--well, there's a really obvious way to find out, right? We're all about TDD here.
