👩🔬 This is the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by potassium iodide.
The hydrogen peroxide is mixed with washing-up liquid and food coloring.
Then the catalyst (potassium iodide), is added. The products of the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide are water and oxygen; the oxygen gas gets trapped by the washing up liquid and fluffy foam is suddenly produced.
