ELEPHANT TOOTHPASTE EXPERIMENT SHEET<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Main product<\/strong><\/td>\nPotassium Iodide, Hydrogen Peroxide<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Short description<\/strong><\/td>\nIn this experiment, we are going to obtain a dense foam that expands, coming from the oxygen from the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. When this oxygen comes into contact with soap, it produces a dense foam that might look like elephant toothpaste, hence the name of this well-known experiment.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

WARNING: This experiment is not intended for children. It can be used as a demonstration, at a distance and without them getting close to any material. The hydrogen peroxide used is highly concentrated and extremely oxidising and dangerous for skin contact.<\/p>\n
