    When food coloring is added to water of different temperatures, it diffuses at different rates due to the thermal energy and motion of the water molecules. In hot water, the water molecules move faster and have more thermal energy, allowing the food coloring to diffuse quickly. In cold water, the molecules move slower and diffusion is much slower. Room temperature water falls between these rates as its molecules have an intermediate amount of thermal energy and motion.

    What Happens When You Add a Drop of Food Coloring to Cold Water?

    ANSWER: Food coloring illustrates diffusion in water. Diffusion is the mixing of molecules due
    to their random motion, whether in a liquid or a gas. Because molecules in cold water have
    less kinetic energy than in warm water, the diffusion process is much slower than in warm
    water. But the food coloring can also show movement that isn't random, such as agitation of
    the water by convection.

    What Happens When You Add a Drop of Food Coloring to Hot Water ?

    ANSWER: The food coloring mixes through the hot water faster than it mixes with the cold water. This
    is because in hot water, the water molecules have more energy and are moving faster than the
    molecules of cold water. This makes it easier for the dye to get mixed throughout the hot water.
    Because diffusion happens from high concentration to low concentration, the more molecules are
    moving, the more opportunities they have to mix together.

    What Happens When You Add a Drop of Food Coloring to Room Temperature
    Water?

    ANSWER: The food coloring in the room temperature water will take longer to mix with


    the water because the molecules are moving more slowly due to their decreased thermal energy. Lastly,
    the food coloring in the cold water will take a long time to mix with the water because the molecules are
    moving even slower due to a further decrease in thermal energy.

    Eventually, the food coloring will mix throughout all of the


    jars.
    When observing the food coloring in the water, wewill immediately notice that
    it behaves differently based on the temperature of the water.
    Even though the glasses of water look the same, the difference in the water
    temperature causes the molecules that make up the water to behave
    differently. Molecules that make up matter move faster when they are warmer
    because they have more thermal energy and slower when they are colder
    because they have less thermal energy. In this experiment, the molecules in
    the hot water are moving around much faster than the molecules in the cold
    water.
    Thermal Energy is the total energy of the particles in an object.
    When placed into water, food coloring will begin to mix with the water. The
    food coloring will mix the fastest in the hot water because the molecules are
    moving fast due to their increased thermal energy. These fast-moving
    molecules are pushing the molecules of food coloring around as they move,
    causing the food coloring to spread faster.

    The food coloring in the room temperature water will take longer to mix with
    the water because the molecules are moving more slowly due to their
    decreased thermal energy.

    Lastly, the food coloring in the cold water will take a long time to mix with the
    water because the molecules are moving even slower due to a further
    decrease in thermal energy.
