SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on creating elephant toothpaste using potassium iodide and 30% hydrogen peroxide without yeast. The key reaction involves the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, which produces oxygen gas. To fill a volume of 100 cubic meters, participants need to calculate the required moles of hydrogen peroxide based on the desired volume of oxygen. Safety precautions are essential due to the exothermic nature of the reaction and the concentration of hydrogen peroxide, which poses significant hazards.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of chemical reactions, specifically hydrogen peroxide decomposition
  • Knowledge of stoichiometry for calculating moles and volumes
  • Familiarity with safety protocols for handling concentrated hydrogen peroxide
  • Basic principles of exothermic reactions and heat production
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the stoichiometry of hydrogen peroxide decomposition reactions
  • Learn about safety measures for handling 30% hydrogen peroxide
  • Investigate the heat generation in exothermic chemical reactions
  • Explore legal regulations regarding chemical experiments in the UK
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry enthusiasts, educators, and safety officers involved in chemical experimentation, particularly those interested in large-scale demonstrations and safety protocols.

what is the best formula for elephants toothpaste not using yeast using potassium iodine and hydrogen-peroxide(30%) and of course soap.
how much reactants would i need to fill let's say... 100m cubed (im not going to do that much but its easier to work with)
* how long would the reaction take?
* what would be the safety limits of reactants and precautions?
* how much heat will it produce?
* is it illegal in the UK?
 
Chemistry news on Phys.org
Start with the reaction equation.
 
im not a chemist I am more of a physician?
 
This is not difficult. Reaction that is responsible for the observed effect is hydrogen peroxide decomposition. You know volume of oxygen, calculate how many moles it is, use decomposition reaction to calculate how many moles of hydrogen peroxide you need.

You should be able to google details.
