Glowstick Reaction Rate 0809 #1

[narutofanjustin]

if the reaction is going faster does that mean the glow stick that was in warmer water will lose its brightness faster than the rest of the glowsticks?

[mrericsully]

@narutofanjustin Yes it does.

Increased temperature leads to increased collisions of molecules which leads to a faster reaction.

What can I do to make more variables for this kind of lab PLease reply ASAP thanks

[mrericsully]

@narutofanjustin I suppose you could do more temperature values. Beyond that the only thing I can think of using to safely modify this lab is to cut open the glowstick and add your own hydrogen peroxide in different volumes and/or concentrations. I suppose outside of visually observing brightness you could quantitatively measure it or you could measure total glow time, depending on how much time you have.

@mrericsully thank you

wow

[verrybrainie]

nice experiment, i'll tri it out on my class.
