Pieces of standard Chinese chopsticks were burned in pure oxygen. Ways of proving the obtained products are offered. The solid product shows strongly alkaline reaction (pH > 11). For a maximum effect it is advisable to use a flow chamber (Petruševski and Najdoski, 2005). This experiment can be applied to teach processes of oxidation (burning), acids, bases and/or indicators. The experiment is suitable for classroom setting, providing an opportunity for active involvement of students in examining the properties of the resulting products. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12188/30698 | DOI: | http://dx.doi.org/10.22201/fq.18708404e.2023.1.81816 |
