Interview questions for experts.. please help

Post by KoolAid »

1. First of all, what do you do? (Ex. chemist, biologist, psychologist, etc.)

2. Can you explain what Luminol is? How does it work? What does it react with? How do you make it glow?

3. How would you use the chemical, Luminol? (Ex. detectives use Luminol to find traces of blood or bleach, etc.)

4. As I've said, I'm comparing high concentrations to temperature & their light intensities. From your experience, which one would you think would have a higher light intensity?

5. What would you use to measure the light intensity?

6. Have you worked with Luminol? If so, what did you do with it?

7. Is Luminol harmful? If so, why?


Please Answer ASAP Thank You

A good place to start would be to study the science project described here on the Science Buddies web site regarding Luminol. You'll find it here:

https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... p078.shtml

It should answer a lot of your questions. If it doesn't, post another inquiry on the board with a specific question and we'll do our best to help.
