Chemistry
Hello, I'm doing a oscillating chemical reaction with my chemist teacher. I'm doing the one on here. I don't have the money at this time to buy the kit. How much is a scoop equilalent to?

Re: Chemistry
Hi yaboyjb21,
I don't have the kit, so unfortunately I can't tell you what the exact volume of the scoops is. But, as I look at the picture for the kit, it looks like the scoops are about as wide as a popsicle stick. So, perhaps about a 1/4 teaspoon or so would be my guess, but I can't be 100% sure. If you use a 1/4 teaspoon measuring cup DO NOT USE one that you use for food. You will need one that you use ONLY for this project and NEVER for food. The important thing is that the amounts of chemicals you use are controlled. That is, you use the same size scoop for the whole project.
Let me know if you have other questions.
