Oscillating Reaction: Briggs-Rauscher - Without Stirring The reaction is repeated without stirring. As a result, the color oscillations are not uniform throughout the mixture. The color change appears to move through the mixture like a wave. The formation of gas bubbles also oscillates. (Listen carefully for variation in the fizzing sound, which oscillates in concert with the color changes.) The size of the movie file is 2.5 MB and its duration is 34 seconds. The name of the movie file is "BR2.MOV" and it is located in the folder "MOVIES/OSCRXBR".
