Rourke, I have been looking up the reaction for elephant toothpaste and every equation i have seen does not show anything for the dish soap and they 'throw out' the potassium from the equation. Is this because dish soap does not do anything to alter the chemical state, and because the potassium is a spectator ion in the second equation?

Mike - the dish soap reacts with the water created and that's why you see the bubbles - that is what you touch.

Do I just leave it as "dish soap" or do I find the equation online? None of the Elephant Toothpaste web pages showed anything for dish soap. Leave a Reply. | ArchivesFebruary 2013 Categories |
