Luminol activation. Luminol is an organic compound which, when oxidized, emits light — a phenomenon known as chemiluminescence. This is similar to the reactions that fireflies uses to emit light, and to those used in glow-sticks and some roadside emergency lights.3yr ⋅ hjalmar111 ⋅ r/chemicalreactiongifs

Sodium alginate is made from seaweed and can form a gel-like substance when dropped into a calcium chloride solution. When the two chemicals come into contact with one another they rearrange so that the alginate binds to the calcium, forming calcium alginate, which is a gelatinous substance.3yr ⋅ hjalmar111 ⋅ r/chemicalreactiongifs
