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 happens when you swallow the liquid in a glowstick?
Swallowing the liquid in a glowstick can cause irritation, discomfort, and an upset stomach. The chemical inside is typically not toxic, but it is recommended to seek medical advice if ingested.
Is the liquid in a glowstick dangerous?
The liquid in a glowstick is typically not harmful if it comes in contact with the skin. However, it may cause irritation if it gets into the eyes or mouth. It is best to avoid direct contact and wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water if needed.
What happens if glowstick leaks on you?
If a glowstick leaks on you, the chemical inside may cause skin irritation or a rash. It's best to wash the affected area with soap and water immediately. If there are any signs of an allergic reaction or continued irritation, seek medical attention.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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".
