| Sub-category | Demo Name | Brief Description | Demo Notes | Demo # | Type of Item |
| Limiting Reactant | Limiting reactant concept (PbCrO4) | Potassium chromate and lead nitrate give a thick yellow precipitate. One reactant is diluted to show the ppt decreases. | Also illustrated by Dr. Laude using 6 bolts, 4 nuts, 12 washers on an overhead projector (See demo #152) | 2 | Demonstration |
| Limiting Reactant | Explosive reaction of hydrogen and oxygen (balloons) | Hydrogen alone gives a swoosh and boom, hydrogen:oxygen 2:1 is very loud with percussion (you feel the explosion) | Also video on Shakashiri tape 2 #20 and #21 | 8 | Demonstration |
| Limiting Reactant | limiting reaction hardware | With uneven numbers of nuts and bolts-which is limiting? | 152 | Demonstration | |
| Limiting Reactant | Combustion of a cigarette | Dr. Jones only. He holds oxygen hose pinched closed and away after taking in some to his lungs. He breathes out to a lighted cigarette, which flares instead of slow burning. | 105.x | Demonstration | |
| Limiting Reactant | Explosive reaction of hydrogen and oxygen | Hydrogen alone gives a swoosh and boom, hydrogen:oxygen 2:1 is very loud with percussion (you feel the explosion) | Shakashiri tape 2 #20 and #21 | M2 | Movie |
| Sequential Reactions | Starch-iodine clock reaction | variations-temperature and concentration; variations of clocks containing starch only | Popular-can time or have a race, can explain the variations by reaction rate. Also on Shakhashiri tape III #44 and #45 | 40 | Demonstration |
| Sequential Reactions | Briggs Rauscher reaction: oscillating starch-iodine clock | A more complicated reaction than #40. Clear, orange, blue; yellow-blue variations; other oscillations containing starch only. | High entertainment value, and surprising to see the reaction happen over and over. Also on Shakhashiri tape III #46 | 41 | Demonstration |
| Sequential Reactions | clock and oscillating reactions that rely on chemicals only (no dextrose or starch), orange tornado. | Also see # 39,40,41,82 for color experiments. Also on Shakhashiri tape I #14; Close up on Chemistry Ealy 34:31 (3 min); Close up on Chemistry Ealy 42:52 (3:24 min) (Ealy set timer to zero when first line of text scrolls onto screen) | 124 | Demonstration | |
| Sequential Reactions | Starch-iodine clock reaction | variations-temperature and concentration; variations of clocks containing starch only | Shakhashiri tape III #44 and #45 | M15 | Movie |
| Sequential Reactions | Briggs Rauscher reaction: oscillating starch-iodine clock | A more complicated reaction than regular iodine-clock. Clear, orange, blue; yellow-blue variations; other oscillations containing starch only. | Shakhashiri tape III #46 | M16 | Movie |
| Sequential Reactions | clock and oscillating reactions that rely on chemicals only (no dextrose or starch), orange tornado. | Shakhashiri tape I #14; Close up on Chemistry Ealy 34:31 (3 min); Close up on Chemistry Ealy 42:52 (3:24 min) (Ealy set timer to zero when first line of text scrolls onto screen) | M41 | Movie | |
| Stoichiometry | Explosive reaction of hydrogen and oxygen (balloons) | Hydrogen alone gives a swoosh and boom, hydrogen:oxygen 2:1 is very loud with percussion (you feel the explosion) | Also video on Shakashiri tape 2 #20 and #21 | 8 | Demonstration |
| Stoichiometry | Reaction of sugar/potassium chlorate. | This is better done outside. It can be used to spell out letters in fire on pavement at a school circus. | Sulfuric acid starts the reaction. Also see gummy bears #24. Also on Close up on Chemistry Ealy 22:10 (2:11 min) | 22 | Demonstration |
| Stoichiometry | Torching gummy bears | The potassium chlorate is melted in a tube, and the gummy bear dances and growls as it is consumed by its combustion, sparks shoot inside the tube and it is bright in the room. Do outside if the room is small. | A very popular demo for sacrificing for football or test success. | 24 | Demonstration |
| Stoichiometry | Endothermic reaction of barium hydroxide and ammonium chloride, | The two solids are mixed in a covered flask and produce a smelly liquid that is cool to the touch when passed around, and that can make the flask stick to a wet board. | also for speed of smell. Also on Close up on Chemistry Ealy 19:54 (2:16 min) | 34 | Demonstration |
| Stoichiometry | Guncotton vs. cotton, and light sticks -flash of light, glowing light | Take a shred of the guncotton and put it on a watch glass. Use a long matchstick to light it, and it produces a bright flash of yellow light. | The light sticks can be at different temperatures before reaction. Also on Close up on Chemistry Ealy 18:04 (1:50 min) (Set timer to zero when first text rolls on screen.) | 88 | Demonstration |
| Stoichiometry | Combustion of trinitrocellulose | Gun cotton - 4 days preparation. Not available - may be able to do in a hood, outside, or tape demo for use in class. | don't make, but buy instead-see demo #88 | 18.x | Demonstration |
| Stoichiometry | Endothermic reaction of barium hydroxide and ammonium chloride, | The two solids are mixed in a covered flask and produce a smelly liquid that is cool to the touch when passed around, and that can make the flask stick to a wet board. | Close up on Chemistry Ealy 19:54 (2:16 min) (Set timer to zero when first text rolls on screen.) | M12 | Movie |
