Mercury beating heart is similar to gallium beating heart (shown on video). In the experiment a droplet of mercury is placed in a watch glass, immersed in an electrolyte such as sulfuric acid which contains an oxidizing agent such as hydrogen peroxide, potassium permanganate, or potassium dichromate.
Acid Chloride Preparative Route for Nylon-6,10, which is often used in the nylon rope trick. The nylon rope trick is a scientific demonstration that illustrates some of the fundamental chemical principles of step-growth polymerization and provides students and other observers with a hands-on demonstration of the preparation of a synthetic polymer.
The carbon snake is a demonstration of the dehydration reaction of sugar by concentrated sulfuric acid. With concentrated sulfuric acid, granulated table sugar ( sucrose ) performs a degradation reaction which changes its form to a black solid-liquid mixture . [ 1 ]
Pharaoh's serpent demonstration. The Pharaoh's snake is a more dramatic experiment and it requires more safety precautions than the sugar snake due to the presence of toxic mercury vapor and other mercury compounds. [1] This reaction was discovered by Friedrich Wöhler in 1821, soon after the first synthesis of mercury thiocyanate. It was ...
The chemical reactions and mechanism in the blue bottle experiment rely on the oxidation of a sugar with the aid of air and a redox dye in a basic solution. Other variations of this reaction have been reported that use four families of redox dyes: thiazines , oxazines , azines , and indigo carmine have all been reported to work with glucose and ...
The iodine clock reaction is a classical chemical clock demonstration experiment to display chemical kinetics in action; it was discovered by Hans Heinrich Landolt in 1886. [1] The iodine clock reaction exists in several variations, which each involve iodine species (iodide ion, free iodine, or iodate ion) and redox reagents in the presence of ...
Ammonia fountain — introduces concepts like solubility and the gas laws at entry level.; Barking dog reaction — demonstrates rapid exothermic chemical reaction; Blue bottle (chemical reaction) — demonstrates reduction and oxidation reactions, and chemical colour change
The "Barking Dog" is an exothermic chemical reaction that results from the ignition of a mixture of carbon disulfide and nitrous oxide. [1] When ignited in a cylindrical tube, the reaction produces a bright flash and a loud " woof " - reminiscent of a barking dog.
