Chemical Demonstration Kits—
Oxidation–Reduction, continued
Colorful Oxidation
States of Manganese
Project the image of a 6-well plate filled
with solutions of manganese(II) ions and
manganese (VII) ions. Students make
observations of the color changes and test
their skill at balancing redox reactions.
Concepts: Oxidation–reduction, oxidation
states, half-reactions, oxidizing and reducing agents.

The Copper Test Tube
By: Jim and Julie Ealy, Retired,
The Peddie School, Hightstown, NJ
Take a test tube which “appears” to be absolutely
clear, add a few drops of different chemical solutions,
swirl the test tube around and place it in hot water.
Before your students’ very eyes, they will see a beautiful
film of copper develop and deposit on the test tube glass.
Concepts: Oxidation–reduction.
Note: Perform this demonstration in a fume hood or well-ventilated lab.

The Gold Rush—Turning Pennies into Silver and Gold
By: David A. Katz, Retired, Wilmington, DE
Students will watch as you place pennies into a
chemical solution which turns the pennies silver.
Then, over heat, the silver penny will change into
“gold.”
Concepts: Oxidation–reduction, alloys.
Note: Shiny pennies are needed, but not provided.

All in the Family—Periodic Trends
Dilute aqueous solutions of chlorine,
bromine and iodine are prepared
fresh and mixed pair-wise with
chloride, bromide or iodide ions in a
two-phase solvent system.
Concepts: Halogens, periodic table,
groups or families.
Note: Halogen solutions should be
worked with in a fume hood or well-ventilated lab.
