Lightstick Magic: Determination of the Activation Energy with PSL.
Bindel, Thomas H.
Journal of Chemical Education, v73 n4 p356-58 Apr 1996
Presents experiments with lightsticks in which the activation energy for the light-producing reaction is determined. Involves monitoring the light intensity of the lightstick as a function of temperature. Gives students the opportunity to explore the concepts of kinetics and activation energies and the world of computer-interfaced experimentation through a hands-on experience. (JRH)
