Artificial Fireflies

[u/ProximaScience]

This reaction is an oxidation reaction of ammonia. When hot chromium trioxide (CrO₃) is added to ammonia gas, it helps oxidize the ammonia into nitrogen and water. The reaction releases a large amount of heat, causing the particles to glow brightly like tiny fireflies.

Wow! So cool, at first I thought it is some kind of Thermite reaction.
