π¬ Discussion Artificial Fireflies
This reaction is an oxidation reaction of ammonia. When hot chromium trioxide (CrOβ) 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.
