Objective: To create a chemiluminescent result with a reaction time longer than 3 to 4 seconds. Chemiluminescence is an electromagnetic radiation in the form of light. It can be emitted by ultraviolet, visible, or infrared light with the visible light being the most common as well as most useful. In this experiment we test a light creating reaction time by mixing a variety of reagents in order to produce the necessary chemiluminescent result. It is predicted that by altering the components of the mixture as well as ratios, the increase in reaction time will exist.
Procedure:
1. Obtain 13 test tubes and one 100 mL beaker with five plastic droplets to distribute the different reagents.
2. Fill 1/3 of 5 test tubes, each with one of the following chemicals:
--Luminol in 1.0M NaOH (Lumina)
--DMSO
--HCl
--H2O2
--Bleach
3. There will be a total of 6 initial mixtures. Each will include two drops of each chemical involved.
4. Mix each of the following in one of the......
