Product Details

Oscillating clock reactions are captivating due to their colorful and unpredictable changes. This variation on a classic is easily performed on an overhead projector. Simply place a Petri dish on the overhead, add three solutions, and mix. In a short while, blue dots appear on an orange background. The blue dots expand, new dots appear, and the dish is filled with concentric blue rings spreading through a sea of orange. The reaction continues for 30 minutes and can be restarted by simply swirling the dish. Teacher Demonstration Notes are included.

Concepts: Oscillating reactions, oxidation–reduction, reaction mechanisms.
Time Required: 30 minutes
Chemicals Provided: Acidified sodium bromate solution, malonic acid solution, sodium bromide solution, ferroin solution.
