This document provides instructions for creating elephant toothpaste. It lists the ingredients needed which include 30% hydrogen peroxide, sodium iodide or potassium iodide solution, liquid soap, and food coloring. The instructions describe measuring out 20mL of hydrogen peroxide into a graduated cylinder, adding a squirt of dish soap and some food coloring, then adding 5mL of the sodium iodide solution which causes a quick reaction and produces toothpaste-like foam.

1. INGREDIENTS ELEPHANT
Hydrogen peroxide (30%) - TOOTHPASTE
This is ten times stronger than
the normal hydrogen peroxide
you can find at the store
Sodium iodide solution, 2 M VALERIA LOPOEZ #16
or ALEJANDRA LOZANA #17
Potassium iodide solution, 2 M DANIELA HERNANDEZ #14
Liquid soap MARIAJOSE QUINTANILLA #21
Food coloring MARIAJOSE BRAVO #6
Graduated cylinder (500 mL)

2. Measure 20 mL Add a squirt The last step is
of the 30% (that's a to add 5 mL of
technical term the 2M sodium
hydrogen iodide solution
meaning about 5
peroxide into mL) of dish soap (2M refers to the
the graduated to the graduated molarity of the
cylinder. It's cylinder solution). The
best to place containing the reaction takes
the cylinder in a 30% hydrogen place quickly, so
peroxide. it's important to
large tray to stand back.
Add a few drops
make the clean- of food coloring
up as easy as to spice things
possible. up.
