Glow sticks. Glow sticks are single-use plastic tubes containing a mixture of a fluorescent dye,an oxalate ester and a glass vial containing an activator such as hydrogen peroxide. By squeezing and breaking the glass,the activator mixes with the ester and this,through a series of chemical reactions,makes the fluorescent dye emit light. When light is produced through a chemical reaction,it is called chemiluminescence | |
