Glow Sticks

call poison control - don't blog a website

no, most of them are non-toxic, but I wouldn't suggest drinking the glowy liquid stuff.

I am not entirely sure but I do know that the molecular formulas for hydrogen peroxide and phenyl oxalate ester are (respectively) H2O2 and C14H10O4.

Im pretty sure the answer is: hydrogen peroxide added to phenyl oxalate ester yields trichlorophenol added to carbon dioxide

Anatomy of a glow stick: Inner glass capsule containing a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and a phthalate ester solvent. Outer soft plastic capsule (in the form of a stick, necklace, earrings, button, whatever...) containing phenyl oxalate ester and fluorescent dye. Snap the inner capsule, and the resulting mixture frantically transfers oxygen atoms around, creating an unstable compound that gives off energy to the dye, then decomposes into carbon dioxide. The energized dye radiates the colored light you see in the light stick. In a cold environment, the chemical reaction is slowed so the light is dimmer but longer lasting. The opposite, of course, if it's hot.

Fu*king donkeys

Glow sticks produce an chemical property called chemiluminescence. This means that chemical reactions produce light.

Glow sticks are made of three chemicals: diphenyl oxalate, hydrogen peroxide, and a fluorescent dye.

The hydrogen peroxide is contained in a glass vial suspended in the diphenyl oxalate/dye solution, which is inside the glow stick itself. When you bend the plastic glow stick far enough, it breaks the glass vial inside, which releases the hydrogen peroxide, causing it to mix with the diphenyl oxalate and dye. When this happens, a chemical reaction occurs that breaks the diphenyl oxalate into two molecules of phenol and a peroxyacid ester. The peroxyacid ester decomposes into carbon dioxide and releases energy in the process. The energy is absorbs by the fluorescent dye, which is then re-emitted as a photon (light).

No. Glow stick uses a rather complicated chemical reaction that involves, among other things, hydrogen peroxide and a fluorescent dye.

Inside a glow stick, there is a liquid chemical, which could be glowing only once.

It really depends on where you look, because there are 100 packs, 30 packs, 50 packs, 80 packs, etc. Do you get what I mean??

A typical glow stick weighs very little, usually around 10-30 grams. When lit up, the weight remains almost unchanged, as the chemical reaction that produces the light is contained within the stick and does not significantly affect its overall weight.

They are safe as long as the chemicals stay inside the plastic cover. Do not open or cut the glow sticks keep the chemicals inside where they can not be ingested.

Glow sticks are not really appropriate for toddlers unless they are non-toxic and there is very strong parental supervision. I would suggest finding a different novelty for your party.

Dollar Tree offers a wide variety of glow sticks, necklaces and bracelets at discount prices. Glow sticks in particular are sold two to pack for $1.00 at Dollar Tree.

Glow sticks contain a chemical called hydrogen peroxide and a fluorescent dye. When the glow stick is bent and the hydrogen peroxide mixes with the dye, it undergoes a chemical reaction that produces light.

1. Plastic casing covers the inner fluid.

2. A glass capsule covers the solution.

3. Phenyl Oxalate and fluorescent dye solution.

4. Hydrogen Peroxide solution.

5. After the glass capsule is broken and the solutions mix, the glow-stick glows.

A red glow stick typically contains hydrogen peroxide as the oxidizing agent, phenyl oxalate ester as the chemiluminescent dye, and a fluorescent dye such as rhodamine B to enhance the red color.

Glow sticks contain chemicals that can cause irritation if ingested or in contact with skin or eyes. While not typically considered highly toxic, it is still important to seek medical advice if a glow stick is ingested, especially for small children or pets.

The size of a glow stick does not necessarily affect how long it glows. The glow duration is primarily determined by the chemicals inside the glow stick and their reaction rate. However, larger glow sticks may have more chemicals, which could potentially result in a longer glow time.

nope

that depends

about 2 days

yes youre tummy hurts you thrup and need to go to the doctor you can swell and itch

you can make a glow stick last longer by putting it in hot water. the heat makes the atoms inside move around faster which keeps the glow glow longer and brighter

to make a glow stick glow again put in the freezer when it's glowing and then take it out when time passed and warm it with your hands a it will glow but for it to last you will have to repeat hope you enjoy^_^

yeah. that's right. but it wont glow as bright as it did when you first buy it.

yeah, just put the glowstick in the freezer, it wont glow as much but it lasts longer!
