A few days ago, the 2020 "Miss America" beauty pageant ended, and Camille Schrier who was 24 years old, won the championship. It is worth mentioning that Schiller is a PhD student in pharmacy, and her talent display link is very "hardcore".
Without a swimsuit, nor singing or dancing, Miss America moved a chemistry lab to the final scene.
Camille Schrier, dressed in a white lab coat, showed the judges how the hydrogen peroxide catalyzed the decomposition process and surprised the audience.
The "catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide" experiment, also often referred to as "elephant toothpaste", is one of the ten most surprising videos of chemical experiments published by Wired magazine in 2009 One.
In simple terms, when hydrogen peroxide is mixed with potassium iodide (or other catalysts) and foaming agents, it will accelerate the decomposition rate of hydrogen peroxide. The oxygen released by the reaction will be washed out of the container very quickly, and then wrapped by soapy water to generate a large number of bubbles and gather Become foam gushing like a volcanic eruption.
Camille Schrier added pigments to the solution beforehand to create colorful foams that looked interesting and spectacular. Because it is one of the safest and most interesting chemistry experiments, many domestic schools also have demonstrations in chemistry classes ~
In the end, Camille Schrier impressed the judges with a unique talent show, also defeated the other 50 beauties, became the "Miss America" in 2020, and won a prize of $ 50,000 (about RMB 350,000). In an interview, she said she would work to promote drug safety and prevent drug abuse.
Camille Schrier has dreamed of participating in beauty pageants since he was a child, becoming the lucky girl with a crown and glory. When she was in high school, she
