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".
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.
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.
Yes it is. If you put a activated glow stick in hot water the atoms in a glow stick will start to move around. The plastic will expand letting the atoms move. When the atoms move they create energy, energy equals bright light. If you were to put the activated glow stick in room temperature water it would not be as bright. The atoms will stay the same. If you were to put a activated glow stick in cold water the atoms won't move. They will huddle together. No movement means no energy which means no brightness. You are welcome :)
Yes, temperature can affect the brightness and duration of a glowstick. Warmer temperatures can cause the chemicals inside to react faster, resulting in a brighter but shorter glow, while colder temperatures can slow down the reaction, producing a dimmer but longer-lasting glow. Extremely low temperatures can even freeze the chemicals inside, rendering the glowstick temporarily inactive.
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.
yeah, just put the glowstick in the freezer, it wont glow as much but it lasts longer!
no
the glowstick stops glowing
It actually a glowstick, and it's found underground
Yes, you can take out the glow stick. How you do it is you get out of the room you obtained it in and then go back in and your glow stick will be out .
Chemo Luminescence makes a glowstick glow the way it does. It is safe for little children as long as they don't bend them or break them open. They should wash their hands immediately if they get any one their skin.

You find the glowstick hidden in the well of early poptropica.You must look harder!
The spelling is variously one word (glowstick) or two (glow stick). There is no consistent dictionary form.
the glow stick is for early poptropica and it is in the well in the old part of early poptropica on the far right
go to the well and go up to the top level where you'll find the glow stick!
