Light up your 16–18 learners’ interest in catalysis and transition metal properties with this chemiluminescent reaction
Oscillating reactions provide an excellent way to reinforce catalysis and multi-reaction systems with learners. The ghostly lighthouse effect of this luminol-based demonstration in particular can be used to spark scientific discussion in science clubs or delve into transition metal properties in 16–18 lessons.
