indigo carmine. When I shake my erlenmeyer, oxygen from the air oxidizes the methylene blue, turning first the solution into red and when I shake it more, more oxygen enters the solution therefore the indigo carmine is more oxidized — color green appears. Over time, the glucose reduces the methylene blue back to its colorless form, cycling through different colors based on oxidation states of this amazing indicator 😌 🧪💛❤️💚#chemistry #scienceexperiments #lab #chemistrylab #reaction #chemistrystudent #scienceiscool #chemicalreaction #scienceismagic #magic #fyp - @helenelmbrt"/>

@helenelmbrt: Called the "Traffic Light" 🚦 this experiment is a redox reactions using a solution of glucose, sodium hydroxide, and an indicator -> indigo carmine. When I shake my erlenmeyer, oxygen from the air oxidizes the methylene blue, turning first the solution into red and when I shake it more, more oxygen enters the solution therefore the indigo carmine is more oxidized — color green appears. Over time, the glucose reduces the methylene blue back to its colorless form, cycling through different colors based on oxidation states of this amazing indicator 😌 🧪💛❤️💚#chemistry #scienceexperiments #lab #chemistrylab #reaction #chemistrystudent #scienceiscool #chemicalreaction #scienceismagic #magic #fyp
