Sandy Creek Students are On Fire for Chemistry
November 1st, 2017 by Naomi Himes
A chemistry class at Sandy Creek High School anticipate a chemical reaction that will cause a pumpkin to foam at the mouth.
Sandy Creek High School students wont soon forget a recent chemistry class that demonstrated scientific concepts of dehydration, combustion, decomposition and redox.
Following appropriate safety procedures, students volunteered to hold bubbles lit on fire and not get burned. This combustion reaction involves the chemical methane and bubbles produced by water vapor and oxygen gas mixed with dish soap.
Following each experiment, the students were tasked with identifying chemical equations, specific elements and chemical reactions.
To go along with the harvest season, another experiment involved catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by potassium iodidinside of a carved pumpkin! The students had to answer questions such as: is this an exothermic or endothermic reaction?
