Asked by Wiki User

You can get a poster putty stain off of walls by mixing vegetable and mineral oil together, then applying it to the stain using paper towels. Wipe the wall using a bit of pressure. When the stain has gone, you can get rid of the oily residue by wiping the area with a sponge that has been dipped into a warm soapy solution.

What if a cat eats a glow stick?

Asked by Wiki User

The chemical in a glow stick is not poisonous unless ingested in large quantities. My vet said toxicity level for a rat is 800mg, so a cat would have to eat quite a bit and there is usually not even very much of the poisonous ingredient in the sticks to have a longterm negative effect on them. The cat will probably react strongly to the taste, but most likely will be able to get in out of her mouth within a couple hours. If your pet is still having symptoms after 24hrs, take them to the vet.

Are glowsticks reusuable?

User Avatar

Asked by Britn10

No, a glow stick cannot be reused. When the stick is broken, the chemicals, which have been held separate, are released. They will mix and begin the reaction that releases the light. The reaction will continue until the chemicals are "used up" and the stick stops glowing. The light stick cannot then be reused.

How many hours do glow sticks last?

Asked by Wiki User

A glow stick stops glowing after the chemical reaction releases all of its energy. Specifically, after about one or two days. Below is a more detailed explanation of the chemical reactions taking place.

The chemical reaction for this kind of heatless light happens when you mix multiple chemical compounds. When you combine two or more compounds, the atoms may rearrange themselves to form new compounds. Depending on the nature of these compounds, this chemical reaction will cause either a release of energy or absorption of energy. You activate a glow stick is by bending, and then shaking it. When you bend it, a very fragile glass vial inside of it breaks and releases the chemical inside (hydrogen peroxide) to mix with the other substance (phenyl oxlate ester). When these are combined they go through a chemical reaction (oxidation), which makes a different, unstable chemical, called peroxyacid ester. This new unstable substance decomposes into a different compound, (phenol and a cyclic peroxy compound) and then to carbon dioxide. The energy caused by the decomposition makes the particles in the fluorescent dye move faster and this creates light. The color of the fluorescent dye determines what color the light will be. This process is called chemiluminescence.
