For day 2 of #ChemAdvent we look at the chemical connection between the colours of poinsettia and pomegranate – both caused by anthocyanin compounds.

These compounds also change when added to solutions of different acidity or alkalinity, giving a rainbow of colours 🌈

Many thanks to everyone who has already signed up to this (over 450+ schools).

We need a few more schools to sign up so we have a good dataset to work with.

Making Copper Sulfate solution / crystals ?

Then always use a water bath to stop dangerous fumes being formed.

Please also refer to the latest Hazcards about the storage of the forming crystals as this has changed....
