Today I've decided to do something, which I think kind of looks like magic. I'll need 3 solutions which I'll call A, B and C. Solution A contains sulfuric acid and potassium iodate. Solution B contains starch, malonic acid, and manganese sulfate. Finally solution C, is just hydrogen peroxide. Now when I mix them together something really cool happens. This is known as the Briggs-Rauscher reaction, and it's one of the very few oscillating chemical reactions.
