Guy makes homemade pink glowstick in jar
Guy mixes chemicals up to make a pink homemade glowstick in a bottle jar. Chemsitry, experiment, science, white gloves, wood table.
I made my own glowstick.
By mixing the following chemicals you get a mixture which can glow up to several hours.
Solution 1: TCPO, sodium acetate and a fluorescent dye (Rhodamine B in this case) in diethyl phthalate.
Solution 2: Hydrogen peroxide.
These are the exact chemicals which are used in commercial glowsticks. By changing the fluorescent dye you get different colors.
