What are some examples of chemical energy being converted into light energy?
A perfect example is a common glow stick. In a glow stick, phenyl oxalate, fluorescent dye, and hydrogen peroxide mix to produce a chemiluminescent reaction (generating light from chemical energy).
What chemicals are in glow sticks?
The glow stick contains two chemicals and a suitable dye (sensitizer, or fluorophore). The chemicals inside the plastic tube are a mixture of the dye and diphenyl oxalate. The chemical in the glass vial is hydrogen peroxide. --- Taken from Google search
What is the stuff inside glow sticks?
there are two tubes inside a glow stick, the plastic one which you bend and the small glass one inside. the large plastic one has hydrogen peroxide, and the small glass tube has the neon dye and diphenyl oxalate

When you snap a glow stick what does the snapping the tube do and how does it lead to chemical reaction?
I just had to do a project exactly on this, When you snap a glow stick a chemical change happens. A glow stick has an outer tube (the bendy one) and an inner glass tube (the one you hear cracking). By snapping a glow stick you are cracking open the inner tube which hold chemicals, the outer tube has phenyl oxalate and fluorescent dye in it, and the inner glass tube has a hydrogen peroxide solution in it. When these chemicals are released and come together, it releases energy in the form of light, thus, making a chemical change. So when you do your favorite activity with a glow stick, cracking it (admit it, it's your favorite part), you are breaking the inner glass tube, which then releases the hydrogen peroxide solution into the phenyl oxalate/dye solution, creating an enchantingly glowing stick of light! hope this was helpful! - Jessica
How do you create a glow stick?
you can take moutain dew with dishwashing liquid and hydrogen peroxide mix them together and you get a glow stick
Can you make a glow stick with house hold items?
Mountain Dew and some household chemicals (hydrogen peroxide) can make a glow stick. no
Does baking soda and water make a glow stick glow?
No. Glow stick uses a rather complicated chemical reaction that involves, among other things, hydrogen peroxide and a fluorescent dye.
What can you use to make a glow stick?
Mainly a transparent tube, airtight lid, phenyl oxalate, and hydrogen peroxide.

Can you make Mountain Dew glow using hydrogen peroxide and baking soda?
Yes you can. You can do it using Peroxide and Baking Soda
What is the chemical property of a glow stick how do you compare chemical properties?
Glow sticks produce an chemical property called chemiluminescence. This means that chemical reactions produce light. Glow sticks are made of three chemicals: diphenyl oxalate, hydrogen peroxide, and a fluorescent dye. The hydrogen peroxide is contained in a glass vial suspended in the diphenyl oxalate/dye solution, which is inside the glow stick itself. When you bend the plastic glow stick far enough, it breaks the glass vial inside, which releases the hydrogen peroxide, causing it to mix with the diphenyl oxalate and dye. When this happens, a chemical reaction occurs that breaks the diphenyl oxalate into two molecules of phenol and a peroxyacid ester. The peroxyacid ester decomposes into carbon dioxide and releases energy in the process. The energy is absorbs by the fluorescent dye, which is then re-emitted as a photon (light).

What chemicals are in a blue glow stick?
1. Plastic casing covers the inner fluid. 2. A glass capsule covers the solution. 3. Phenyl Oxalate and fluorescent dye solution. 4. Hydrogen Peroxide solution. 5. After the glass capsule is broken and the solutions mix, the glow-stick glows.
