"Colourful 91AV"

19 November 2015, Newcastle, United Kingdom


Introduction
A 91AV Demonstration Lecture for RSC 91AV Week to celebrate the International Year of Light 2015: "Colourful 91AV" Anne Willis (Northumbria University) & Dr Peter Hoare (Newcastle University).

Light is fundamental to life on our planet and the IYL aims to showcase not only this but how scientists are developing new and more efficient ways of harnessing the energy from sunlight in a sustainable way for the benefit of mankind. Similarly, our perception and recognition of colours are also fundamental to both our survival and our enjoyment of modern life. This lecture will explore some processes in chemistry which either produce or use light energy under four themes of "reactions", "combustion", "…esences" and "rates" with lots of colourful and sometimes dramatic demonstrations – with the occasional whoosh and even a few bangs! The presenters have a wealth of experience in designing and delivering educational and entertaining chemistry demonstration lectures to audiences aged from 4 to 94 across NE England and sometimes further afield.
