We will prove the presence of oxygen in the foam with a smouldering splint. The reaction is exothermic, so the attendees will feel heat. Safety goggles will provide protection. After the experiment, the attendees will explore the reaction mechanism and the role of a catalyst with a chatbot. The activity promotes an understanding of chemical reactions and the critical assessment of information provided by AI. The purpose of the activity is thus to present a chemical experiment to attendees and explain it using a chatbot.
The event is organized by dr. Janez Mravljak in dr. Doroteja Novak (UL FFA).
