Chemical Energy
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.
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.
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.

yeah, just put the glowstick in the freezer, it wont glow as much but it lasts longer!
Usually when boy is mean to you, it means he likes you.
Glowsticks use chemical energy stored within a combination of hydrogen peroxide and a phenyl oxalate ester. When the glowstick is activated by bending and breaking an inner glass vial containing the chemicals, a chemical reaction occurs that produces light energy in the form of chemiluminescence.
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.
Exothermic is where heat/energy is released.And a glow stick does exactly that. but in this case the energy being released is in the form of light.Do not be fooled, a glow stick does not release heat. just energySo yes, a glow stick IS exothermic.Hope this was helpful- Jessica
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.
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.
Yes, the liquid inside a glowstick is typically a combination of hydrogen peroxide and a phenyl oxalate ester. While these chemicals are not considered toxic, it is still advisable to avoid ingesting or coming into direct contact with the contents of a glowstick.
