The chemical reaction for this kind of heatless light happens when you mix multiple chemical compounds. When you combine two or more compounds, the atoms may rearrange themselves to form new compounds. Depending on the nature of these compounds, this chemical reaction will cause either a release of energy or absorption of energy.
You activate a glow stick is by bending, and then shaking it. When you bend it, a very fragile glass vial inside of it breaks and releases the chemical inside (hydrogen peroxide) to mix with the other substance (phenyl oxlate ester). When these are combined they go through a chemical reaction (oxidation), which makes a different, unstable chemical, called peroxyacid ester. This new unstable substance decomposes into a different compound, (phenol and a cyclic peroxy compound) and then to carbon dioxide. The energy caused by the decomposition makes the particles in the fluorescent dye move faster and this creates light. The color of the fluorescent dye determines what color the light will be. This process is called chemiluminescence.
No, freezing a glow stick after it has been cracked will not make it work again. Once a glow stick has been activated by cracking it, the chemical reaction that produces the light cannot be reversed by freezing it.
When you snap a glow stick, a glass vial containing hydrogen peroxide inside the stick breaks, allowing it to mix with a solution containing phenyl oxalate ester and fluorescent dye. This chemical reaction produces light, causing the glow stick to illuminate in the dark.
When you break a glow stick, a glass vial inside the stick containing hydrogen peroxide is broken, mixing with a solution containing a fluorescent dye. This causes a chemical reaction that produces light through a process called chemiluminescence, making the glow stick glow.
Glow sticks can last over 4 days if you get the right ones. It usually depends on the colour and size of your glow stick. To make the glow stick last longer throw it in the fridge freezer to slow the chemical reaction down.
The glow stick in the cold water will not glow as bright as the glow stick in the hot water because when you cool the glow stick down, the chemical process will slow down. The glow stick in the hot water will glow brighter but for a shorter period of time.
You don't need to, the system will work it for you.

The person who invented the glow stick is Thomas Edison
the glow stick is in the well ☺♥
you get the glow stick in the left hand side of the corner in the tunnel
The substance that makes a glow stick glow is called a chemical dye or phosphor. This substance is contained within the plastic tube of the glow stick and reacts with other chemicals inside the stick to produce the glowing effect when activated.
It's a chemical change--there's a glass ampule in the glow stick. and it's got one chemical in it. Around it is another chemical. When you break the glow stick the two chemicals mix, and the glow happens.

The dark cave is not where the glow stick is, but rather where it is needed. The glow stick is down in the well in Early Poptropica village.
a glow stick can be a endothermic or exothermic reaction
