Experiment- ionic reactions

Featured Replies

Hy!
I have a question about ionic reactions (precipitation, color change).

I need to prepare a short experiment. It must be interesting without, dangerous chemicals and without warming. It will be performed by 14-year-old students. Anyone have any idea? Is the experiment on this connection a part of ion reactions? https://melscience.com/en/articles/egyptian-night-experiment-190418/?utm_source=FBpost_en&utm_medium=EgyptianNight190418_article_en
Thank you for any information.

Peroxide is some how dangerous. Yes there are ionic reactions.

Calcium chloride with carbonates of sodium, potassium or other alkali metal carbonates. Forms calcium carbonate which is calcite. It is only a white powder, but much safer.

Iodide with lead is bright yellow but lead around children is typically frowned upon.

potassium Ferrous and Ferric cyanate make a dark blue when mixed, but that is not an easy precipitation reaction to use as an introduction ionic reactions.  It is more related to oxidation states.
