We show how to make glow sticks and go through all the chemicals needed as well as how to make different colors. We also talk about the chemistry and scientifically research a proposed mechanism.
To make the glow stick mix together the following:
10mL Diethyl Phthalate (solvent) 3mg of fluorescent dye (see below) 50mg TCPO (see below) 100mg sodium acetate 3mL 30% hydrogen peroxide (add last to start reaction)
The fluorescent dye can be 9,10-bis(phenylethynyl)anthracene for green, Rubrene for yellow, 9,10-diphenylanthracene for blue, and rhodamine B for red.
TCPO is expensive to buy but can be made for much cheaper by following the directions in our previous video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViJknvEEEOA
The chemicals, including the ones to make TCPO were purchased from alfa aesar: http://www.alfa.com
The Rhodamine B and Rubrene dyes were instead purchased from sigma Aldrich: http://www.sigmaaldrich.com/
The dyes and TCPO are carcinogenic and gloves should be worn when handling them.
The TCPO and sodium acetate amounts can be varied considerably and still obtain good light. Smaller quantities tend to be dimmer and decay faster, while larger quantities last longer.
For those of you higher level individuals that actually do want to know the mechanism for this process, please refer to this article: http://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/ja808401p
you had to mix the ... you had to mix the other colors...? :)
you can get most of ... you can get most of them from a science store or just around the? net.
this? is sick! this? is sick!
Satan taught me ... Satan taught me how? to make glow sticks mom!!!!
is this your real ... is this your real voice?!?
It's painfully ... It's painfully obvious you've never done it yourself.?
Easier and cheaper ... Easier and cheaper way, get a bottle of MTN Dew, and pour out? 1/4. Then put a half a teaspoon of baking soda in, then add 3 caps of Hydrogen Poroxide.
Are? these ... Are? these chemicals non toxic?
Would it work if ... Would it work if fluorescein is used? For example from a? green or yellow a highlighter.
where did you ... where did you purchase all of these containers? or? vial bottles?
use a male to ... use a male to female voice changer and you can? hear how sexy he really sounds
make red and blue ... make red and blue one.? health and mana potions ?_?
Secondly,? can you ... Secondly,? can you drink it?
Shiiiiit.. I would ... Shiiiiit.. I would be caught dead without these in my pocket.? Have to have them, just in case.
do you actually ... do you actually have to use 9,10-bis(phenylethynyl)anthracene for the green color? or can i use food coloring?
Where do you get ... Where do you get your chemistry equipment?? (flasks, beakers, condensers)
cool to know thx ... cool to know thx for the vid!?
Now Teach? me how ... Now Teach? me how to make a whistle!!
I never know that ... I never know that when I go to school I will show this to my teacher!?
the SAW , WERE? ... the SAW , WERE? GOING TO PLAY A GAME . LOL :]
THIS IS STUPID!!!!! ... THIS IS STUPID!!!!!!ENGLISH? PLEASE?????!!!!!!!
Are you an idiot? ... Are you an idiot? The point of this? isn't something you can do at home with stuff you bought at WalMart.
This would have to be done in a Chemistry Lab, using chemicals bought from suppliers of said lab.
Creeper Voice? to ... Creeper Voice? to THE maximum.
are there any kind ... are there any kind of flourescent dye that? emits infrared?
in here? ,rhodamine ... in here? ,rhodamine b usualy as a stainer for ketchup -,-

Editorial: Lawmakers move too fast on crime scene photos
The rush to get House Bill 1322, the Meredith Emerson Privacy Act, through the Georgia General Assembly is completely understandable. It's difficult to criticize state Rep. Jill Chambers, R-Atlanta, House Speaker David Ralston, R-Blue Ridge, and other lawmakers for quickly bringing their power as elected officials to bear to keep crime scene photos of the lifeless, decapitated body of murdered 24-year-old hiker Meredith Emerson out of the hands of a reporter working for a pornographic magazine.
Hustler asks for crime scene photos of slain hiker
ATLANTA — A true-crime author has requested crime-scene photos of the nude, decapitated body of University of Georgia graduate Meredith Emerson on behalf of Hustler magazine, and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation is refusing to comply while the House rushes through a law to block the release of similar photos.
