Its proved difficult to obtain in the previous lava lamp experiment using effervescent tablets. This is because effervescent tablets are not available in every home, making them difficult to obtain. We will utilize all of the things that are constantly in the kitchen to make this lava lamp. The utilization of household components will undoubtedly be very simple.
Tools and Materials of Simple Experiment – Its Fairly Easy to Make a Lava Lamp
- Used oil that is still clear
- Water
- Food coloring
- Salt
- Clear glass
- Flashlight
Instruction for Use of Simple Experiment – Its Fairly Easy to Make a Lava Lamp
1. Prepare tools and materials of Simple Experiment – Its Fairly Easy to Make a Lava Lamp
2. Add water up to half a glass
3. Add a few drops of food coloring
4. Add oil up to ¾ cup
5. Put the salt into the glass
6. Point the flashlight at the glass that has been given all the ingredients from the top or bottom of the glass to make it look bright
7. Observe the changes that occur, the salt will rise little by little towards the oil.
Explanation of Simple Experiment – Its Fairly Easy to Make a Lava Lamp
If oil reacts with water, it will not be able to combine. This is because the two materials have different molecular structures. When pouring the oil, bubbles flow past each other and do not combine. When salt is poured into a glass containing a coating of oil and water, it sinks to the bottom, dragging the oil with it. Because the salt is soluble in water and the water does not mix with the oil, the oil that is brought to the bottom with the salt will be liberated to form bubbles and rise to the surface.
The reaction of salt in a lava lamp is clearly different from that of effervescent tablets. Because the bubbles flow in the oil layer, the lava lamp employing effervescent tablets requires a lot of oil. Using salt in a lava lamp requires more water since the bubbles will pass through the water layer.
