Instructions for each experiment listed below!! • Bring out the inner chemist in you with these 5 simple chemical reactions that you can do at home! We demonstrate an acid base reaction (egg and vinegar), a dissolution reaction (acetone dissolves styrofoam), a pH indicator reaction (using red cabbage juice), a decomposition reaction (elephant toothpaste), and a combustion reaction (the carbon snake ). • 00:00 Experiments: • 00:30 EGG VINEGAR- • 1) Place egg into a cup or jar (best if see-through). • 2) Pour in enough vinegar to completely cover the egg. • 3) Wait at least 1 day. Air bubbles will make the egg float, gently tap container on the counter to release air bubbles on the shell to make it sink. • 01:35 NAIL POLISH REMOVER STYROFOAM- • 1) Carefully pour acetone onto styrofoam and watch it dissolve. • *) Tip: Removers with higher percentage acetone works best. • 02:20 RED CABBAGE JUICE PH INDICATOR- • 1) Boil a handful of red cabbage slices until the water has turned a dark blue/purple. This will take ~10-15 minutes. Let the juice cool. • 2) Pour small portions of the juice into a separate see-through container. • 3) Add any liquid being tested to the juice and watch the color change. • *) Clear liquids work best, if the color doesn't change then the liquid you added doesn't have a pH or is neutral. • 03:44 ELEPHANT TOOTHPASTE- • 1) Combine 3 Tbsp warm water and 1 Tbsp of yeast. Stir for several minutes until lumps are gone. • 2) Combine in a bottle 1/2 cup hydrogen peroxide with 1 Tbsp liquid dish soap. OPTIONAL- add a few drops of food coloring to add color. • 3) Pour the yeast mix into the bottle, the reaction happens immediately. • *) The foamy bubbles are safe to touch, it is mostly just oxygen gas, water, and liquid soap. • 04:28 CARBON SNAKE- • 1) Add sand to a heat-safe container, like a ceramic pot. Form a small mound of sand on top and create a small crater in the top. • 2) Drench the small mound of sand with lighter fluid. • 3) Mix 1 Tbsp of baking soda with 4 Tbsp sugar and pour enough into the small sand crater to fill it. • 4) Step back, make sure the area is clear and secure, and light the sand on fire. • 5) The snake will continue growing for as long as the fire burns, which can take up to 20 minutes. • At Squint Science we make fun and educational science videos for kids and adults.
