    This document provides instructions for creating a lava lamp experiment at home. It explains that the experiment works due to the differences in density between vinegar, vegetable oil, and baking soda. Vinegar has the lowest density, vegetable oil has the highest density, and they do not solubilize even when heated. When combined in a glass container and illuminated with a flashlight, the oil rises slowly through the vinegar, mimicking the appearance of a lava lamp. Materials needed include vinegar, vegetable oil, a glass container, a flashlight, baking soda, and food coloring.

    Introduction

    Hello EMCians’ Im from HUMSS-11 Bellatrix

    Today we are going to do a wonderful experiment and it is the lava lamp experiment.

    In this experiment, you will see how density and polarity, when they are in a heated state cause a
    reaction between both oil and water with the reaction of gases

    But first, what is Density?

    Density is the mass of a unit of a material substance. Everything mostly composes of an amount of
    density whether it is water, gas or solid. For example, Helium’s density is much lower than of the earth’s
    air. Meaning a balloon filled with Helium will only but rise until its density is equal or lower than its
    surroundings which it will be in a hovered state or it slowly falls down.

    And what is Solubility?

    It’s the maximum amount of a substance that will dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specific
    temperature. Something like Salt will dissolve if put in water. Or a more common example is making
    coffee. Sugar and coffee will dissolve in hot water by matter of seconds and will mix to create what
    humans use to energize in the morning.

    But that’s enough explanations, you want to see the cool part right? So this will be a demonstration of
    how we will be creating a lava lamp in your very home.

    We will be needing

    - Vinegar
    - Vegetable Oil (Coconut Oil is Optional)
    - Glass Container (Water Bottles Are Optional)
    - Flashlight
    - Baking so da
    - And Food Colouring to your liking

    The lava lamp only works because of the difference between their density and the failure to solubilize.
    The oil had the thickest density of all the component so when poured with food colouring on vinegar the
    result is a slow ascent to the top. They also don’t solubilize by the same reason. Even on hot
    temperatures it will only ascend faster.
