Belousov-Zhabotinsky Acid Trip

 

 

Sodium Bromate + Sulfuric Acid + Sodium Bromide + Malonic Acid + Ferroin + water = oscillating chemical reactions.  AKA acid trip.  (Caution:  Do not ingest.)

 

The BZ reaction makes it possible to observe development of complex patterns in time and space by naked eye on a very convenient human time scale of dozens of seconds and space scale of several millimeters. The BZ reaction can generate up to several thousand oscillatory cycles in a closed system, which permits studying chemical waves and patterns without constant replenishment of reactants.
