Description

Engage students with a unique chemical-to-light energy change that demonstrates an oxidation-reduction reaction as well as reaction rates. Prepare two stock solutions from the materials provided. When the solutions are poured into the tubes, energy is released as a luminescent blue color. The color lasts for several minutes. Enough pre-weighed chemicals and solutions are included to perform this demonstration 18 times and to compare the effects of temperature on the energy change (the amount of light produced).
