Jesse Holleran - The Green Blob
Pour liquid iron acetate into a test tube along with ammonia and stir. What happens? A dark green, glutinous material forms immediately.
The iron in the steel wool combines with the vinegar (acetic acid) to produce iron acetate. The active component of household ammonia is a compound called "ammonium hydroxide." A chemical reaction occurs as soon as these liquids are combined. So, ammonium hydroxide + iron acetate make ammonium acetate + iron hydroxide.
(Note: What happens is an exchange of materials).
The same ingredients of ammonium, iron, hydroxide, and acetate are present, but their recombination produces a totally different product). In fact, The liquids (solutions of iron acetate and ammonium hydroxide) have reacted to form a new phase - "The Green Blob."
