  2. Thermochromism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermochromism

    Thermochromism is the property of substances to change color due to a change in temperature. A mood ring is an example of this property used in a consumer product although thermochromism also has more practical uses, such as baby bottles, which change to a different color when cool enough to drink, or kettles which change color when water is at ...

  3. Hue-heat hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hue-heat_hypothesis

    Taj Mahal in warm light from a low elevation sun. Taj Mahal in the cold light from a high elevation sun. The hue-heat hypothesis is the hypothesis that an environment with warm colors (red, orange yellow hues) will feel warmer in terms of temperature and comfort, while an environment with cold colors (blue, green hues) will feel cooler.

  4. Golden rain demonstration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_rain_demonstration

    When mixed, as the lead from one solution and the iodide from the other combine to form lead(II) iodide (PbI 2), which is insoluble at low temperature and has a bright golden-yellow color. Although this is a reaction solely of the dissociated ions in solution, it is sometimes referred to as a double displacement reaction : [ 1 ]

  5. Blue bottle experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_bottle_experiment

    The blue bottle experiment is a color-changing redox chemical reaction. An aqueous solution containing glucose, sodium hydroxide, methylene blue is prepared in a closed bottle containing some air. Upon standing, it spontaneously turns from blue to colorless due to reduction of methylene blue by the alkaline glucose solution. However, shaking ...

  6. 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.

  7. Chemical chameleon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_chameleon

    Chemical chameleon reaction. The chemical chameleon is a redox reaction, well known from classroom demonstrations, that exploits the dramatic color changes associated with the various oxidation states of manganese.

  8. Iodine clock reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iodine_clock_reaction

    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 ...

  9. Color of chemicals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_of_chemicals

    The color of chemicals is a physical property of chemicals that in most cases comes from the excitation of electrons due to an absorption of energy performed by the ...
