Chemistry joins with physics and @samirmoezzi@CLEAPSS to show great effect. 1M Na2SO4 with UI is electrolysed above a Nd magnet. OH-ions rotate anticlockwise, H+ clockwise. Thanks to chem teachers in Holland for idea.. Now for the explanation, oh dear run out of space, but HELP.
2 drops of 2M ammonia on paper. Crystals of CuSO4 & KMnO4. Electrodes (carbon fibre) connected to 9v battery. Deep blue {Cu(NH3)4]2+ moves to one electrode (-ve) and MnO4- to the other (+ve). This took 10 minutes in real time. #microchemistry@CLEAPSS . 21st century chemistry!
This report is useful to teachers in other countries as it compares UK with USA (Mass), Australia, Singapore, Finland, etc . Also many countries ask what do UK school science technicians do. Info is in here. With the heavy teaching load of UK teachers, they are essential. https://t.co/mCxIp5Th2Y
@DrPRobotham@CLEAPSS You can also do this part of the experiment by putting the vials into a 100 ml beaker with very hot water from an electric kettle. Look how it follows. Techniques to modernise and accelerate school practical chemistry.
