  2. Nylon rope trick - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nylon_Rope_Trick

    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.

  3. Glycerol and potassium permanganate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycerol_and_potassium...

    Potassium permanganate (KMnO 4) is a dark violet colored powder. Its reaction with glycerol (commonly known as glycerin or glycerine) (C 3 H 5 (OH) 3) is highly exothermic, resulting rapidly in a flame, along with the formation of carbon dioxide and water vapour:

  4. Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belousov–Zhabotinsky...

    A stirred BZ reaction mixture showing changes in color over time. The discovery of the phenomenon is credited to Boris Belousov.In 1951, while trying to find the non-organic analog to the Krebs cycle, he noted that in a mix of potassium bromate, cerium(IV) sulfate, malonic acid, and citric acid in dilute sulfuric acid, the ratio of concentration of the cerium(IV) and cerium(III) ions ...

  5. Residual sodium carbonate index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residual_Sodium_Carbonate...

    The RSC index is used to find the suitability of the water for irrigation in clay soils which have a high cation exchange capacity. When dissolved sodium in comparison with dissolved calcium and magnesium is high in water, clay soil swells or undergoes dispersion which drastically reduces its infiltration capacity .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Society_of_Chemistry

    The Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) is a learned society and professional association in the United Kingdom with the goal of "advancing the chemical sciences". It was formed in 1980 from the amalgamation of the Chemical Society , the Royal Institute of Chemistry , the Faraday Society , and the Society for Analytical Chemistry with a new Royal ...

  7. Briggs–Rauscher reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Briggs–Rauscher_reaction

    Oscillogram made in July 1972 by Briggs and Rauscher. The Briggs–Rauscher oscillating reaction is one of a small number of known oscillating chemical reactions.It is especially well suited for demonstration purposes because of its visually striking colour changes: the freshly prepared colourless solution slowly turns an amber colour, then suddenly changes to a very dark blue.

    The Chemical Landmark Scheme (CLS) is a Royal Society of Chemistry initiative recognising sites where the chemical sciences have made a significant contribution to health, wealth, or quality of life. The blue plaques are publicly visible, and are intended to give everyone an insight into chemistry's relevance to everyday lives. [1]
