Abstract: The article examines the chemical reactions involving chemiluminescence. It cites that a simple exercise is described featuring the separation of the contents of an activated lightstick using a chromatography column. The exercise can be used to teach a variety of topics in a variety of settings. It would appeal to chemists of various chemical skill levels, whether used in summer camp or in the physical chemistry laboratory. It would illuminate important concepts and techniques in chemistry, whether illustrating the process of chromatographic separations, presenting lecture demonstrations, or conducting laboratory experiments.
