Innovating Science® - Thermochromism
Manufacturer ID - IS8019
Students will learn about acids and bases through a class discussion and then test a dilute acid and dilute base with neutral litmus paper to learn how the paper indicates something is acidic or basic. Once that skill is learned they can move on to test some common items that would be found around their house to determine if they are acids or bases. Optional: Extra litmus paper is included to test more items either from home or around the school building for a greater understanding of acids and bases. The activity contains enough materials for 6 groups of students.
The way in which light is absorbed or reflected by a crystalline material is determined by the structure of the crystal. This crystal structure can be changed by the application of heat. In some cases this change is reversible and the original structure, and therefore the original color, returns upon cooling. Two compounds are formed when metal salts are reacted with the [HgI4]2- Ion. Each compound is heated on a hot plate and a change in color is noted. The initial color of the compound returns upon cooling.
