Frothy Foam
In this dramatic demonstration, potassium iodide catalyses the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to oxygen and water.This is an exothermic reaction and water is produced as steam. Food colouring and washing up liquid mixed in with the hygrogen peroxide create coloured fountains of oxygen bubbles during the...
Frozen Assets
Produced by The Centre for Industry Education Collaboration (CIEC), this activity engages students to consider the responsible use of chemicals and an analysis of the impact of a product through all the stages in its life. In this context, students attempt an analysis for different de-icers that might be used on...
