    Blobs Bottle

    Uploaded by

    Tara Anne Yu
    This document provides instructions for creating "blobs in a bottle" through the use of oil, water, food coloring, and fizzing tablets. Vegetable oil is poured into a bottle filled with water, separating into two distinct layers due to differences in density. Food coloring is added to the water, then a fizzing tablet is dropped in to produce bubbles that carry the colored water up through the oil in blob-like formations. The scientific explanation is that water and oil molecules do not bond due to their different polarities, keeping the substances separated unless agitated by the rising gas bubbles from the dissolving tablet.

    BLOBS IN A BOTTLE
    Title

    The materials YOU WILL NEED are:

     A clean 1 liter clear bottle


     3/4 cup of water
     Vegetable Oil
     Fizzing tablets (such as Alka Seltzer)
     Food coloring
    WHAT TO DO:
    Food Coloring

    Water

    1. Pour the water into the bottle.


    2. Use a measuring cup or funnel to slowly pour the vegetable oil into the
    bottle until it’s almost full. You may have to wait a few minutes for the
    oil and water separate.
    3. Add 10 drops of food coloring to the bottle (we like red, but any color
    will look great.) The drops will pass through the oil and then mix with
    the water below.
    4. Break a seltzer tablet in half and drop the half tablet into the bottle.
    Watch it sink to the bottom and let the blobby greatness begin!
    5. To keep the effect going, just add another tablet piece. For a true lava
    lamp effect, shine a flashlight through the bottom of the bottle.
    HOW DOES IT WORK?

    To begin, the oil stays above the water because the oil is lighter than the
    water or, more specifically, less dense than water. The oil and water do
    not mix because of something called “intermolecular polarity.” That term is
    fun to bring up in dinner conversation. Molecular polarity basically means
    that water molecules are attracted to other water molecules. They get
    along fine, and can loosely bond together (drops.) This is similar to
    magnets that are attracted to each other. Oil molecules are attracted to
    other oil molecules, they get along fine as well. But the structures of the
    two molecules do not allow them to bond together. Of course, there’s a lot
    more fancy scientific language to describe density and molecular polarity,
    but maybe now you’ll at least look at that vinegrette salad dessing in a
    whole new way.

    When you added the tablet piece, it sank to the bottom and started
    dissolving and creating a gas. As the gas bubbles rose, they took some of
    the colored water with them. When the blob of water reached the top,
    the gas escaped and down went the water. Cool, huh? By the way, you can
    store your “Blobs In A Bottle” with the cap on, and then anytime you want
    to bring it back to life, just add another tablet piece.
