Not fully understood chemical reaction
Filed Under Insolite
What they do know: Several reactions take place at once. One of them produces iodine, which gives the amber color. Hydrogen peroxide reduces other chemicals into iodide ions. Along with normal iodine, the charged particles interact with starch to create it a blue-black color. The speeds of those transformations are constantly changing. As one overtakes the other, the color suddenly changes.
I can’t resist to think what some “people” (you know… I’m talking about them from time to time on this blog) would say when seeing such an experiment… “Wow, science can’t explain it, must be a miracle ! god’s hand is surely at work”.
And, on the other hand, some people keep digging, trying to figure out, research and eventually find and come up with a scientific explanation. Isn’t that much more fun (and helps our world to move forwared) than just dropping out god’s name when facing the unexplainable ?
