How to make a glow stick reaction with real chemicals. Not a fake like mountain dew. Check our other glow stick videos too: www.youtube.com www.youtube.com Finally, how to make TCPO: www.youtube.com The glowstick reaction is made using a diphenyl oxalate derivative known as bis(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)oxalate or TCPO. Additional ingredients include ethyl acetate as a solvent, sodium acetate as a base, 9,10-bis(phenylethynyl)anthracene to give it the green color, and hydrogen peroxide to react with the TCPO and create light. The exact proportions are: 15ml of ethyl acetate 3mg of 9,10-bis(phenyethynyl) anthracene 1g of sodium acetate 800mg of TCPO 3ml of hydrogen peroxide added last to initiate the reaction. The exact same process is used in glow sticks. This is NOT mountain dew. Mountain dew cannot glow like this, it does not have the crucial TCPO chemical or any chemical like that. The reaction will glow in the dark for several minutes if you use ethyl acetate as the solvent. It will glow for several hours if you use diethyl phthalate as the solvent. To make it glow different colors, a different fluorescent dye can be used. The dye is a requirement, it will not glow without a dye. Thanks for watching! Please subscribe, rate and comment!

cool your voice is masked every vid lol its cool
love it, want the Chemicals Dang, can;t get em, one thing Voice?! WTH???
i wish i could use that as a science experiment on friday
What chemical would I increase to make it last longer?
impressive
how long does it gloes ?
whoa ur awesome!!11
Darth Vader! He has returned! Oh no!!!
Why did you change your voice?
Also is there anything that can make it last longer than diethyl phthylate?
Im wondering since i think it would be cool to do this for several days or weeks since in alaska there is a period of constant night during the winter and image having a few of these outside(like just put out a few red ones.
how is mountain dew fake?
loooved the voice
does the reaction produce heat?
Great stuff.
Please pardon a daft question, but for how long would a mixture in those quantities emit a decent glow; say, enough to read a map by?
Waah! stop making these videos! they are addictive xD
im in ireland can u just buy these?
dont listen to him! great video sir!
can you legally buy the ingredients as a private citizen ? can u get them in the UK?
@griffithdd91
You turn off the sound and turn on the subtitles.
this would be great if your voice didn’t sound gay!
Nice. So how long does the glowing last?
You can make glow stick with a different method. See my channel if you want to know how.
kickass vid. be sure to continue the good work
@koohkoohkahkah
Totally fake.
so the glow in the dark mountain dew is really fake??
Will it work when i give into it homemade sodium acetate ?
it reminds me of nuka cola quantum off of Fallout 3
quien me puede decir los ingredientes en español
