Electrolysis of Aqueous Solutions -- New
This is a revised version of the previously published Electrolysis of Aqueous Solutions, providing corrections and additional images. In order to understand most of these videos it is important to either see the Complete Experiment: Electrolysis of an Aqueous Solution video or to be able to read a description of that video (such as the one in the Discussion section for that video).

Electrolysis of Aqueous Solutions -- Original
Electrolysis of several aqueous solutions is carried out using a 9-V battery and pencil leads as electrodes. Because only the electrodes are shown in the videos, it is important to show these still images  
or describe how the reactions were performed if students are to make sense of the videos. In each case the anode is on the left and a 9-V battery has been connected to the lead of each of the pencils near the eraser end with an alligator clip. A newer version of most of these reactions using platinum electrodes is available as Electrolysis of Aqueous Solutions -- New.

Electrochemical Series: Metal Trees
A piece of metal (Cu, Zn, Ag, Cd, or Pb) is placed in an aqueous solution of a metal ion (Cu2+, Zn2+, Ag+, Cd2+, or Pb2+). In some cases the growth of metal crystals indicates that a chemical reaction has occurred.

Oscillating Reaction: Briggs-Rauscher
When a solution of malonic acid, starch, and manganese(II) ion is added to a solution of hydrogen peroxide, iodate ion, and sulfuric acid, gas bubbles form and the color of the resulting mixture oscillates periodically from colorless to amber to blue.

Pulsating Electrochemical Reaction: Mercury Beating Heart
A drop of mercury in a watch glass is covered with a solution of potassium chromate in concentrated sulfuric acid. An iron nail is positioned so that it nearly touches the mercury. Eventually, the mercury drop starts to beat rhythmically, like a beating heart.
