It is necessary
- - oilcloth
- - latex gloves
- - 120 ml of water
- - 3-4 g of luminol
- - 90 ml of 3% hydrogen peroxide
- - 4 g of copper sulfate (or sodium chloride)
- - 12 ml sodium hydroxide solution
- - rubren

Instructions
Step 1
Cover the work table with oilcloth, because reagents can easily ruin the polish of your furniture. Wear rubber gloves for safety.
Step 2
In a deep bowl, dissolve 3-4 g of luminol in 120 ml of water (this is a yellow powder that can be purchased in chemical stores or art stores). Then add 90 ml of 3% hydrogen peroxide and 4 g of copper sulfate (sodium chloride can be used), mix everything thoroughly.
Step 3
Gently pour 12 ml of sodium hydroxide solution into the resulting mixture and mix well with a wooden stick. Be careful, sodium hydroxide can cause severe burns if it comes into contact with the skin. Glowing blue water is ready!
Step 4
If you want to make the water red, just replace the luminol with rubrene. To prepare pink glowing water, you need to add eosin to the mixture. And by adding a few drops of brilliant green solution to the water, you can get luminous water of a rich emerald color.
Step 5
After the glowing water is ready, pour it into beautifully shaped flasks or bottles. Thoroughly rinse all used equipment.
