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 "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.
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 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 ]
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 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 ...
As in many chemical reactions, chemiluminescence starts with the combining of two compounds, say A and B, to give a product C. Unlike most chemical reactions, the product C converts to a further product, which is produced in an electronically excited state often indicated with an asterisk: A + B → C C → D*
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.
