Making and Using Schoenbein Paper
(activity)

Christian Friedrich Schoenbein discovered ozone and used its
reactivity to measure its presence and demonstrate that it is a
naturally occurring component of the atmosphere. He developed a
way to measure ozone in the troposphere using a mixture of
starch, potassium iodide, and water spread on filter paper. The
paper, called Schoenbein paper, changes color when ozone is
present. In this activity, students create Schoenbein paper and
measure the presence of ozone. |
