Description

Explore the science of color change in this laboratory activity. Students synthesize metal complexes to observe how heat alters crystal structure and light absorption. This reversible, visual experiment is a captivating way to study transition metals and thermodynamics.

  • How the kit works:
    • The way a crystalline material absorbs or reflects light depends on its crystal structure, which can change when heat is applied. In this experiment, two compounds formed by reacting metal salts with the [HgI₄]²⁻ ion are heated on a hot plate, causing a color change. Upon cooling, the compounds return to their original color, demonstrating a reversible change in crystal structure
  • Kit Includes:
    • 3 x 25 g Mercury (II) Chloride
    • 3 x 25 g Potassium Iodide
    • 1 x 15 g Silver Nitrate
    • 2 x 25 g Copper (II) Chloride, Anhydrous
