Hydrogen Peroxide and Potassium Iodide

[coolcarman555]

My teacher did this today but didnt use as much chemicals

[AppleCaster]

now how do you clean the foam?

[TubbsLardyRM]

@AppleCaster Simple. It gets flushed down the sink. Afterall the "foam" is just soap, water and oxygen.

wow...



[asiansalltheway7]

Where do u get potassium iodide?? plzzzzz reply! :)

and What kind of hydrogen peroxide is it???

[TubbsLardyRM]

@asiansalltheway7 I normally get mine from a suppler called "Phillip Harris" There are different grades of purity. As you would expect the higher the quality the higher the price. IF they do supply you it'll cost about £8 for 100g. Hope this helps.

Why using washing liquid?

[TubbsLardyRM]

@Davidshark1 Im guessing the viscosity of washing up liquid is greater than water making the wall of bubble thinker therefore it would take longer for the bubbles to pop!

Holy-Terrorist:>*=* Potassium iodate(KIO3) maked?

[GeekyGirl1011]

I want to try out the experiment, but after the reaction happens, what do you do with it?

Awesome reaction though, loved it <3 xD

[xxxmaritan]

cool.. it looks like a big pile of steaming shit.

[LIAMpants]

how much potassium iodide did you use?

[TubbsLardyRM]

@LIAMpants Its was'nt an exact amount. I just used a large table spoon full.

[jordorama1]

thats what happend to me with my girlfriend :P

[TubbsLardyRM]

@jordorama1 Mate that is some SERIOUS ejaculation ;)

[billy545455]

thumbs up if sheldon from the big bang theory sent you here!

[sharuto]

is potassium iodide a catalyst???

[RadioTrefoil]

@sharuto Yep. 2H2O2 -> 2H2O + O2, so iodide ions act as a catalyst.

[Eztoez]

is the resulting foam toxic?

[TubbsLardyRM]

@Eztoez KI is a catalyst for the decomposition of H2O2.

[dukilaki]

try it with cognac ,soap and salt

[nicxtrem21]

Now I see why they call her ''mother nature''

[barkydoggy]

So cool how it reacts in this way.
