Demonstrating chemistry - spectacular experiments. The pulsing reaction. 8
Description
Prof. Hal Sosabowski shows us a stunning and surprising reaction, by mixing three colourless solutions. This demonstrates autocatalysis, whereby the products of a reaction act as a catalyst for that reaction. The reaction here is the Briggs-Rauscher reaction, although there are other similar pulsing reactions. Prof. Hal Sosabowski is a committed chemistry educator, evangelist and communicator. Hal shows us how to safely recreate his inspirational demonstrations, which are both educational and spectacular.
