      The foam isn't the concern, it's any unreacted hydrogen peroxide which would still be in liquid form. And that risk will still be there unless you let it sit for a very long time to decompose. If you use gloves and can wash it off/spray it off without direct contact you'll be fine.

      A durable plastic container should be fine as well, glass is just easier to clean. If you want it bigger, you definitely want a bigger container. Doubling all the ingredients but keeping the same size container won't produce that much bigger of a result. And you can just increase the amounts of ingredients in equal ratios to what I have in the video.

      More H2O2 molecules packed tightly together (higher %) means more can be broken down quicker into O2 gas and H2O. So gas is being made faster with increasing % of H2O2.

      Yeast is a bit finicky since it's a living thing. I'd suggest dissolving it in warm water and gently stirring for a few minutes before you add. And make sure your yeast isn't too old! For the iodide, you can try adding more but the 3% h2o2 is going to really limit how explosive the reaction is, so it probably won't make too noticeable of a difference. Good luck!

      It's best to assume so in case there is unreacted peroxide, but most of the peroxide will have reacted and decomposed so all you have left is harmless water, oxygen, soap, and the iodine (meaning it can stain still). So theoretically it should be a lot safer to clean up.

      Depends where you are. It's kinda hard to buy the 35% peroxide online due to shipping regulations (at least in the USA), so I got it from a local health food store (there's nothing healthy about it though...). And for the iodide it's pretty widely available online.

    Is there a percentage of hydrogen peroxide that when mixed with the potassium oxide will be safe to the touch, meaning not too hot?

    • @SquintScience
      @SquintScience  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you plan on touching it I'd be more concerned about any leftover unreacted hydrogen peroxide rather than heat, because higher percentages can burn your skin (not heat-related burns, I mean chemical burns). So for that reason I'd only suggest the 3% peroxide if you're going to touch it while it's still reacting.

    • @lisetdelatorre1974
      @lisetdelatorre1974 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Squint Science thank you for answering! Since it’ll mainly be for demonstration Id prefer the 35% but I’m going to use extra precaution. Do you have any tips for clean up if there is still unreacted hydrogen peroxide?

    • @SquintScience
      @SquintScience  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@lisetdelatorre1974 Gotcha. The biggest part of cleanup is dealing with the iodide, which will stain everything it touches a yellow-brown color. You'll want to wear gloves (both for the hydrogen peroxide and iodide). I would recommend doing the demo on a tarp. After the demo you can wrap everything you used in the tarp and then spray it all off later. I would also have an oxidizing cleaner on hand in case you stain something (not sure where you live, but I use OxiClean spray). Have fun!

      If you use the yeast as a catalyst, you can just rinse everything off with water no problem. If you use the iodide, you'll want to have an oxidizing cleaner handy (I used one called oxiclean) and dilute the pile of foam with lots of water.

      I assume you are referring to the steam. It's a hot reaction, could be leftover 35% hydrogen peroxide, so I wouldn't let them touch it just in case. If you do the 3% h2o2 it should be fine to touch.

    • @SquintScience
      @SquintScience  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeast is a living thing, vinegar is an acid, so they are very different. To get this specific reaction you need yeast or iodide. You could do a separate experiment where you combine the liquid soap with vinegar in the bottle and then add in baking soda. You'll at least get bubbles but it is a different reaction and will not look nearly as impressive.

      The foam will expand faster than with 6% or 3%, but it still won't spew out of the container or be as impressive like it can be with iodide because the heat limits the yeast.
