    Rarely is the best teacher the most knowledgeable teacher. More often it is the teacher that shares their passion and love of the subject with their students. Grabbing and holding ones attention is one of the best ways to start the learning process. It's not the knowledge the teacher has, but rather the knowledge they are able to pass onto their students.

    One of the solutions is probably a solution of hydrogen peroxide and sulfuric acid. The other solution is probably a solution of sodium thiosulfate, potassium iodide and starch. I’m no chemist to explain the actual reaction conditions, but the iodine gets liberated from the potassium and reacts with the starch to form the blue color.

    I am curious what ratio you had the hydrogen gas mixed with oxygen in the balloon ? Or was that a wee fib..? As I saw when Hydrogen meets oxygen there's an explosion. My high school Chemistry teacher used to get a 3 litre plastic bottle of frozen oxygen and a 3 litre bottle of frozen hydrogen and place them a sensible distence apart and pull stings on the lids and it didn't take long for a big boom.

    Hey chemist student here! It is a reaktion between Iodate IO3^(-) and Sulfite HSO3^(-). Dat reaktion seems to be delayed because the Iodate reaktion with the sulfite to iodid [I^(-)] and the iodid with iodate to elemental iodine [I2]. That Iodine reakts now with the sulfite to iodid again. All those reaktions are colourless, hence we do not see them. The last one however when no Sulfite is left the iodine will lay in some starch which creates this beautiful blue colour seemingly instantenious ^^
