This was was incredibly helpful! I haven’t come across any other videos that explained how to make the potassium iodide solution. Great reactions as well. Thanks for sharing! Doing this with my class tomorrow. The 3 % with potassium iodide compared to the 30% and also showing them with yeast to compare the results.
what a fantastic video its very underated channel you must get millions of subscribers and views the way you explain every concept of from dissolving Kl to show foam
Where do you buy 35% peroxide? I've only used 30%( beauty salon) and it wasn't as spectacular as yours. Yes, I used potassium iodide as the catalyst. Thanks
I have tried this. It works fine for longer term storage. The only thing that happened is that the concentrated liquid turned yellowish after a while. It was no longer clear. If you don't mind that it will keep for a while.
can you tell me exactly how much ml of dish soap you used? also how much grams of potassium iodide did you mix with the water, how warm do you need the water to be?please answer ASAP
Hello and thanks for watching! For this experiment I used 1 ounce of water to 1 ounce of hydrogen peroxide and about a tablespoon of dish soap. If I remember correctly I think 40-50 grams of potassium iodide crystals dissolved into 1oz of water. To make a good strong catalyst the intent would be to continue to dissolve the crystals until they can't any longer, reaching a point of 100% saturation in the water. I used room temperature bottled water during this video. Hope this helps. Good luck with your project.
It is not recommended to touch or handle the foam. This is because the hydrogen peroxide used in these experience is higher concentration than normal - and - some of the unreacted hydrogen peroxide could be present in the foam and surrounding areas. Hydrogen peroxide at this concentration can be an irritant and is not safe to touch without protective gloves. Please remember to follow all manufacturer safety labels and use precautions. Enjoy your experiments!
You can clean it up like any soapy mess, just with water and a rag for example. Remember the foamy material from the reaction is basically soap and water. I think the previous comment was asking more about playing with the foamy bubbles. It's not recommended to play with it just in case there is some remaining H2O2, however clean up is fairly straight forward. You can also use gloves while cleaning up just to be on safe side.
@@HowTo-D2 ok thank you so much!! I really appreciate the fast and helpful response on such an old video, the video and the comment is really gonna help me oht

I'm so happy this was helpful. Have a great time with your class with those comparisons. Sounds like it will be a lot of fun.

Thank you for the kind words. Much appreciated!
This is very cool
If you added more of the 3% would the reaction be greater?

I purchased the 35% at blubonic.com directly. I added a link in the description of the video. Thanks for watching!
@@HowTo-D2hey i got a question does the iodide tablets work better
So wait can't I use 3% and iodide instead of yeast?
Now do it with an Erlenmeyer flask and watch the foam shoot out!
Yes! :)
Amaziiing
What would 12% do?
Very helpful! Thanks 😀
Glad it was helpful. Thank you for watching.
Thanks for the video! But how do you dispose of everything afterwards?
Well the nice thing is that when you're done, all that's left is a little soap and water. You just wash it away. :) Thanks for watching!
Can you pre-dissolve the crystals to use later? Or will the effect wear off?

How much potassium iodide(g) and water(ml) needed ?
can you tell me exactly how much ml of dish soap you used? also how much grams of potassium iodide did you mix with the water, how warm do you need the water to be?please answer ASAP

is the foam safe for play after it cools down
It is not recommended to touch or handle the foam.

@@HowTo-D2how do you clean up the foam then? I’m doing this for school

@@sylar4906Sure thing. Enjoy your experiments and be safe!
Add hot water to the Potassium iodide
How much soap do you add to 1oz of H2O2?
Only need a few drops for that amount, and mix it (swirl) it a little.
4 minutes of dissolving the crystals, Seriously?
It can take a little while to dissolve.
