Innovating Science™ Blue Bottle Reaction

Description

Includes

Materials for five demonstrations: 250 mL Potassium Hydroxide, 1.0M solution UN1814; 6 mL Methylene Blue Chloride, 1% solution; 5 g Dextrose (Glucose) Powder (5); instructions

Visually demonstrate the process of oxidation.

• Show how dye (leuco form) turns from colorless in its reduced state to deep blue in its oxidized state
• Initiate reaction by shaking a solution to introduce oxygen from the air into the solutions
• When the mixing stops, the reaction reverses and the solution becomes clear
• Demonstration time: 20 minutes
