Test Tube Thunderstorm Chemistry Demonstration In this cool science experiment we make a thunderstorm in a test tube using alcohol, sulfuric acid and potassium permanganate. warning:this experiment is extremely dangerous as it involves corrosive acids and flammable liquids with a small, but not negligible, chance of a damaging explosion. face shields, goggles, fire extinguishers and fire. In today's weather experiment for kids, we're creating our own thunderstorm to better understand how they're formed. 1. align the cans so they are directly under the tubes. 2. connect the wire from each can to the opposite bucket. you can also use the wires to help secure the position of the cans under the plastic tubes. note: make sure the wires don't cross or come very close to each other! 3. move the buckets close together. this is where the spark will jump. This reaction is called "thunder in a test tube", sometimes "testube thunderstorm", simply becuase internal combustions of ethanol ,acetone (or other similar flammable organic liquid), producing sound, light similar to that of lightning, and the unexpectable result of it. please rate, comment and subscribe for more fantastic chemistry videos!.
