What happens to the mass of a glowstick when it lights up?

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.


Can you refreeze a glowstick?

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.


Can you put a chest freezer next to a radiator?

It is not recommended to put a chest freezer next to a radiator as the heat from the radiator can affect the freezer's performance. The increased temperature can cause the freezer to work harder to maintain its cool temperature, leading to higher energy consumption and potential damage to the freezer. It is best to place the chest freezer in a cool and well-ventilated area away from heat sources.


How do you turn off a glowstick?

To turn off a glowstick, simply snap and bend it until the contents inside the stick are fully mixed. Once the chemical reaction is complete, the glowstick will stop producing light. If you want to stop the chemical reaction immediately, you can submerge the glowstick in a bowl of hot water.


What makes a glowstick glow?

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".
