Introduction:
The chameleon chemical reaction is a very colorful reaction. It is named like that
due to the solution has color changes like a chameleon. In chemistry, this is an example
of a redox reaction, in which electrons are transferred from one compound to another. In
The chemical chameleon reaction shows the reverse process, where purple
brown manganese dioxide. Although, sugar is common, several reducing agents can
Make the chameleon chemical reaction to see the changes in the solution.
Specific objectives:
Beaker (1).
Spoon (1).
Mortar (1)
Pestle (1).
Mixer (1).
Reagents:
Water: H₂O
Experimental procedure:
Step 6: Put the candy in the mortar to start to crush up in small pieces with the
pestle.
Step 7: Then put the small pieces in the test tube to start to mix it.
Step 8: Finally take notes of the changes, because we will see many colors as a
chameleon.
Results:
Dark purple.

seconds.
Analysis:
When the candy was placed in the solution, it was possible to observe the color change
after a short time, and when it changed to the next color, it didn´t take a lot.
different redox reactions occur during the reaction and different colors are observed
depending on the permanganate ions present during the reaction (Reacción Química Del
Discussion:
We can observe the chemical chameleon reaction and the colors that compound this
oxidizing agent, so it can form explosive mixtures with combustible material, powdered
metals and ammonium compounds. These mixtures are friction sensitive. When are
Two of my classmates made the chameleon reaction, with the same materials,
reagents, and procedure. Right now, is going to be presented the results that they
obtained:
In summary, my classmate' experiment was the same, but they saw 9 colors in
this reaction, while I observed 8. I think this is because maybe they put more or
less reagents, so it changes the result a little bit. But, as far as I'm concerned, we
saw almost the same colors, and that's a good sign. Also, the solution was done
in a matter of minutes, and it was easy and efficient. There weren't too many
Graphics:
It was identified the number of colors that could be observed in this reaction, it
It was understood the reason for the change of colors, we learn that sugar is a
to change of color.
