Elephant's Toothpaste is combined substances (yeast, water, 20 volume hydrogen peroxide liquid and food coloring) that once formed together they bubble up like a fountain.
The reaction in elephant toothpaste can get very hot, reaching temperatures of around 150 degrees Fahrenheit.
The reaction of elephant toothpaste can get very hot, reaching temperatures of around 150 degrees Fahrenheit.
To make elephant toothpaste, you need hydrogen peroxide, dish soap, food coloring, and yeast.
Elephant toothpaste was not invented by a single person. The experiment is attributed to being a popular science demonstration that showcases an exothermic reaction between hydrogen peroxide and a catalyst such as potassium iodide or yeast, producing a large foam eruption resembling toothpaste coming out of a tube, hence the name "elephant toothpaste."
Yes, elephant toothpaste is hot when it is being created because it involves a chemical reaction that produces heat as a byproduct.

You can use toothpaste with anything even beer
To make elephant toothpaste with vinegar, mix hydrogen peroxide, dish soap, and food coloring in a bottle. Then, add vinegar and watch the foam erupt.
The hypothesis of the elephant toothpaste experiment is that mixing hydrogen peroxide with a catalyst (such as yeast or potassium iodide) will cause a rapid decomposition reaction, resulting in the production of oxygen gas that creates a foamy substance resembling toothpaste.
To make elephant toothpaste at home, mix hydrogen peroxide, dish soap, and food coloring in a bottle. Then, add yeast mixed with warm water to the bottle. The reaction will create foam that looks like toothpaste.
The presence of yeast in the creation of elephant toothpaste helps to speed up the reaction by acting as a catalyst. Yeast contains enzymes that break down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen more quickly, leading to the rapid foam formation characteristic of elephant toothpaste.
Yeast can be used to create elephant toothpaste by producing carbon dioxide gas through fermentation, which helps to expand the foam and create the explosive reaction.
