Here, we're looking at the process of chemiluminescence. Luminol, formula C8H7N3O2, is a chemical which, when reacted with the proper oxidising agents, will become luminscent...
In this exp. the chemiluminescent compound luminol, or 5-aminophthalhydrazide, will be synthesized from 3-nitrophthalic acid. In a neutral solution, luminol exists largely as a dipolar...
