How can I make a chemical light?


The chemical light must be made in two parts.

  1. 4 g sodium carbonate
    0.2 g luminol
    0.5 g ammonium carbonate
    0.4 g copper sulfate pentahydrate
    approx. 1 litre of distilled water.
    Mix well.

  2. 50 ml of 3% hydrogen peroxide
    approx. 1 litre of distilled water
    Mix well.
Once you have completed the two parts just mix them together and you will have a 'glowing' liquid.
