Chemiluminescence

Chemiluminescence, Yay!

The oxidant is hydrogen peroxide and the fuel a peroxyoxylate ester.
The reaction is started in the dark with the liquid oxidant (H2O2 dissolved in an organic solvent) already in the glass flask and then the liquid fuel is added quickly from above. These reactants are mixed together by gently swirling. The reaction's light emission reaches a maximum after about 10 seconds. If you look carefully you can see the chemist's hand as he manipulates the reaction vessel. Like most chemiluminescent reactions, none of the energy released by the reaction ends up as heat: The temperature of this reaction mixture is almost exactly the same as the temperature of the reagents before mixing.

What is the organic solvent? I bet its

TCPO or bis(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl) oxalate.

Hey everyone, wanna make it yourself?

youtube watch?v=ViJknvEEEOA

@a3maaa8 haha me to love it

[Megaman300i]

How do You do it?

and how long the solution?

We Can touch The Solution with out care?

or Is Acid?

or Basic?

Thanks!!!

chronos luminol reacts with blood and cleaning proucts im not so sure i wanna drink that XP

[DrModd]

Nice idea, maybe people would get their skin glow in dark then to:)

[Chronos014]

They should make an (unharmfull) Drink that glows!!!

OMG IM GOING TO BE RICH

that's amazing!!!
