LUMINOL (Chemiluminescence) glow stick

Two solutions are made, solution "A" composed of 5 grams of sodium hydroxide in water and 0.1 grams of luminol. Solution "B" composed of 3% hydrogen peroxide and 0.25 grams of sodium ferrocyanide. When the two solutions are mixed produces a faint blue glow. Then 10 grams potassium ferricyanide is added to the combination to produce an intense blue glow that only lasts for about 20 seconds.

By the way this glow is so much brighter in real life, for some reason the camera didn't pick it up so well.

If it's acidic, it'll interfere with dianion formation, right?
