Making Glow in the Dark Ink
Objective
To make glow in the dark ink, decifer what type of oils make the best glowing ink, and summarize the results before during and after usuing different kinds of ink.
Apparatus
Bunsen burner Wired gauze
500 mL beaker Ring stand, ring
Small bottle with cap (3) tongs
Chemicals
1 oz oil of sunflower 1/4 oz phosphorus (3)
1 oz oil of peanut
1 oz oil of oil

Procedure
A. Combining Oils with Phosphorous
Obtain 1 oz of oil of sunflower, peanut, and oil. Note the properties of each oil. Using three different small bottles, put each oil in one. Obtain three amounts of 1/4 oz phosphorus and note the properties of it. Phosphorus is essential for human nutrition, yet is highly toxic beyond a certain dose. Phosphorus will burn spontaneously in air and cause severe burns if it comes in contact with skin. In each bottle put 1/4 oz phosphorus. Note the properites of this mixture.
B. Heating the Water
Set up a 500 mL beaker on wire gauze and iron ring. Fill the beaker about half full with distilled water. Adjust your Bunsen burner to warm, be careful not too make it too hot so that the water will boil. Begin heating the water untill it reaches about the temperature of warm bath water. You will have to repeat these steps later in the lab.
C. Heating the Mixture
Using tongs remove the beaker from the ring stand. Place one small bottle into the beaker with water. Heat the bottle untill the substances have melted together. Note the properties and changes that occur while the bottle is being heated and after its heated. Repeat the steps in part B in order to heat the water, and repeat the steps in part C for each bottle.
D. Testing the Mixtures
Remove the bottles from the beaker with tongs. After heating the substances test the new mixtures. Note the properties and characteristics of each new mixture. Which mixture is the brightest, dullest, thickest, thinnest?
