What happens to the mass of a glowstick when it lights up?
The mass of a glowstick remains the same when it lights up. The glowstick undergoes a chemical reaction that produces light, but the total mass of the components inside the glowstick does not change.
What two ingredients are in a glowstick?
The two main ingredients in a glowstick are hydrogen peroxide and a diphenyl oxalate derivative. When the glowstick is activated, the hydrogen peroxide reacts with the diphenyl oxalate derivative, producing light.
Why is a glowstick a chemical change?
A glowstick undergoes a chemical change when the chemicals inside mix, leading to a reaction that produces light. This change cannot be reversed, as the reaction permanently alters the composition of the chemicals inside the glowstick to create the glowing effect.
What energy tranformations does a glowstick have?
A glowstick undergoes a chemical reaction inside the tube which produces light energy. The chemical energy in the reactants is converted into light energy that is visible to us. Heat energy is also released as a byproduct of the reaction.
What will happen if you put a glowstick in the freezer?
Putting a glowstick in the freezer will slow down the chemical reaction inside, causing it to dim or stop glowing temporarily. Once the glowstick returns to room temperature, it should glow normally again.
Is a glowstick a acid or a base?
A glowstick is neither an acid nor a base. It contains chemicals that create light through a chemical reaction when mixed together.
How do you turn off a glowstick?
To turn off a glowstick, simply snap and bend it until the contents inside the stick are fully mixed. Once the chemical reaction is complete, the glowstick will stop producing light. If you want to stop the chemical reaction immediately, you can submerge the glowstick in a bowl of hot water.
Can you refreeze a glowstick?
No, it is not recommended to refreeze a glowstick. Freezing and thawing a glowstick can cause it to lose its effectiveness and may damage the chemical components inside. It is safer to dispose of the glowstick properly after use.
Is bending a glowstick a chemical change?
Bending a glowstick is a chemical change because when it is bent, two chemicals are mixed together forming a very small glow but bright enough to see in the dark. The chemicals cannot be separated after being put together.
How do you get the glowstick in Poptropica?

What makes a glowstick glow?
Chemical lightsticks glow by way of two chemicals; cyalume and hydrogen peroxide. Inside the glowstick is a thin glass tube; inside of that is a chemical known as hydrogen peroxide. Outside of this tube, there is a chemical known as cyalume. When a glowstick is "cracked", the glass tube is broken, and when a glowstick is shaken the two chemicals mix together. These chemicals also activate a die of whatever colour the glowstick may be (pink, white, orange, green, red, etc.), causing the stick to "glow".
Can you reactivate a glowstick?
yeah, just put the glowstick in the freezer, it wont glow as much but it lasts longer!
