Cool Blue Labettini EXPERIMENT • • • • • • DO NOT STIR DURING THE FOLLOWING STEPS Turn off lights. Add luminol to water & observe. Add perborate to water & observe. Turn lights on record your observations. Turn lights off. Add copper sulfate to water & observe — especially where the light is brightest! NOW swirl the contents of the cup and observe. Record your observations in your notebook.
Cool Blue: Chemiluminescence Q: Is the reaction exothermic or endothermic? How do you know? BTW: The copper acts as a CATALYST — it doesn’t actually react with anything, but it makes the reaction go faster. HOW?
