A glow stick is a small plastic tube with chemicals inside it. When When you snap a glow stick and hear it crack it gives off a temporary glow. As you snap the glow stick and hear it crack. Chemicals inside the glow sticks starts to mix together. This is a process call chemiluminescence. Chemiluminescence is a process where light is produced by a chemical reaction. Instead of using an electrical source. An example of this would be if go outside during a fall night and see a firefly glowing during the night fall using its Chemiluminescence.
There are chemicals inside one simple glowstick. These chemicals inside the glowstick are called fluorescent dye, diphenyl oxalate, and hydrogen peroxide. Fluorescent dye is a chemical compound. It is a …show more content…
It is commonly used in disinfectants and bleach for example.
When these chemicals inside are mixed it causes a reaction that produce peroxy acid ester and phenol. Peroxy acid can spelled as one word or be called peracid. It is an acid that contains OOH group. The Peroxy acid ester decompose into carbon dioxide (which is a gas that is part of the air we breathe). Phenol is a poisonous crystalline acidic that presents itself as tars of coal and in wood. In dilute solution it is use as an disinfectant. When the peroxy acid ester and phenol mix it releases energy that excites atoms in the fluorescent dye and causing photons which are released particles of light.
Glow sticks has two counters. An outer container and inner container that each chemical is separated in. The chemicals are separated from each other in two containers from the glow stick until the inner tube is crack. The inner tube tends to be much more flexible than the outer tube. So, when you bend a glow stick and hear it snap. It means that the inner tube cracked and the inner chemicals is released causing it to mix with the outer chemical. When the two chemicals are mixed they make a temporary bright …show more content…
Rauhut and Laszlo J. in Bollyky of American Cyanamid. Which was based by Edwin. Although, They are most seen and use for partying, festivals, concerts, and celebrations. Glow sticks sometimes are used as a toy. Sometimes even for Balloon-carried light effect. Which is a special effect carried by a balloon. Glow sticks tends to be useful because they don’t need any kind of electricity make light and are pretty inexpensive. For example they can be use during natural disasters. Like using them during floods, or a tornado, when you are going on a trip, camping, night fishing, you can keep your child calm and give them a glow stick to also track their location. Even though glow sticks can be used for these. The U.S. Navy also uses them. That’s right glow sticks are used by all military branches, law enforcement, search and rescue, and public service departments. They are used to mark objects, equipment, places, and trails during night. Another things that useful about glow stick is there color and are defined by unit SOP. Some of these are obvious like green means go and red means stop and danger. There are many other signals that they use. Thing is that glow stick tend to be fun and playful, but also glow sticks tends to be
