Two solutions are combined in a darkened room, producing luminescence that lasts for several seconds. Peroxides act as an oxidizing agent. The luminol is converted to an excited-state product. This ...

From glowing luminol reactions to creating artificial logic gates, [Marb]—a self-proclaimed tinkerer—takes us step-by-step through crafting the building blocks for what might be the simplest ...

Demonstrate a spectacular reaction such as the thermite reaction or the oxidation of luminol and the endothermic reaction seen in the video, which is the reaction of solid barium hydroxide and ...

If blood is present, the iron atoms within the hemoglobin molecules in red blood cells act as a catalyst, causing the luminol to emit an eerie blue glow. This chemical reaction is a great way to test ...
