Anthony and Tara teach you how to make a very exciting exothermic reaction with hydrogen peroxide. It will also keep your pet elephant's teeth clean.
Experiment Tips:
-Experiment's reaction produces heat, be careful not to touch until it has a chance to cool.
-30% hydrogen peroxide can bleach/burn so be sure to avoid contact with skin and clothing.
-Swirling the chemicals together after combining gave a faster and stronger reaction.
Relight a Match

A small flint or ember from a dying match placed above the bubbles will re-ignite the match due to the oxygen being released.
All Living things Contain Peroxides

Hydrogen peroxide is naturally produced in organisms as a by-product of oxidative metabolism. Nearly all living things possess enzymes known as peroxidases, which harmlessly and catalytically decompose low concentrations of hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen.
Exothermic Reaction

The bottle will feel warm to the touch due to the exothermic reaction. Exo meaning exiting or leaving and thermic having to do with measuring temperature or heat. . So, an exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction where the heat stored in the chemical bonds is released and goes into the environment.
Join Anthony Carboni and Tara Long as they turn the world around them into a giant science experiment. New episodes every Wednesday!
