Oscillating Chemical Reaction (Briggs - Rauscher)

if you do this reaction in a petri dish do you get waves like the ones you get with the BZ reaction?
-
It's an oscillating reaction; in an open system, the Briggs-Rauscher reaction can periodically oscillate in the concentrations of intermediate species since it's extremely far from equilibrium.
In other words, it's a reversible reaction that acts like a pendulum (swings towards one intermediate species, and then swings back to another until it finally slows down enough to achieve equilibrium).

We did this in chemistry A-level, good stuff. I seem to remember it only lasted a few minutes!
Some reactions can go both ways, but i can't remember the theory behind this one
-
when I did this one it was much smaller scale and it lasted 5 minutes
-
mind blown
-
how does that happen? p[lz explain? chemical reactions r supposed to not be able to go back to their original form? y was it interchanging?
-
depends on the ratio of the chemicals
-
They have a stir bar in the bottom that is mixing the reaction.
-
how long does the reaction last?
could you tell me what substances do i need to prepare this experiment please
