Oscillating Reactions
3rd November 20
Recently ChemSoc students Nina and Taehee have learnt about the famous Belousov–Zhabotinsky oscillating reaction applying their knowledge of oxidation states, autocatalysis and mechanisms.
The chemical reaction originally discovered in 1951 in Russia by Boris Belousov was not known in the West until 1968 where it has been the subject of many advanced research projects.
Watch their own experiment below. You can also read their research piece about this reaction here: The Oscillating Reactions V2 (002).
