Study oxidation-reduction, electrolysis and acid-base reactions as Universal Indicator is added to an aqueous sodium sulfate solution. When two carbon electrodes are connected to a battery and placed in the solution, a rainbow of colors forms as the water is electrolyzed. There are enough materials to complete the demonstration five times.
: Kit includes: 50 ml sodium sulfate Solution, 1 m, 6 ml universal indicator, 1 red connecting wire, 1 black connecting wire, 12 carbon electrodes and 2 petri dishes.
