  • whoa, cool

  • Did this at school

  • you welcome!

  • i need two things that can suspend...

  • I love doing this one. It is really cool to look at.

  • drink it

    

  • NICE

  • rubbing alcohol is isopropyl alcohol? (CH3)2CHOH

  • really nice

  • will alcohol and water mix?

  • @lasertracer206 Yes, alcohols and water both have hydrogen bonding properties, so they will mix if you put a layer of alcohol directly in contact with water. You will, however, see "density ripples" during the pouring process, which are very fun to observe.

  • @lhvinny I fact not all alcohols can mix with water, it depends on the number of carbon atoms in the alcohol chain. If there are more than 5 or 6 C, mixability decreases due to hydrophobic repulsion.

  • @Shakamuni Yes, that is true. I apologize if my comment led you to think I meant all alcohols regardless of the R group in the form of R-OH. I was using alcohols to mean the common alcohols the layman would use in every day situations such as ethyl and isopropyl.

  • thumbs up if u looked this up for science class

  • @elijahtakushi Mr. Elliots class ? hahaha

  • @TheMultiMediaGaming YES!!! hahahahaha

    are you in A-3?

  • in order for this to work...

    you need pee.. pee is what holds everything..

    pee atleast 3 times, and later click the video that makes it glow...

  • Awsome! Do more! I like it!

  • Question: i'm after a set of solutions like this which shows densitys and looks cool :p

    However i want a cylinder with solutions that when mixed, originate to the original densities and "sediment" after you shake them.. for example with alcohol and water, when you shake it it'll turn into a murky solution, but after 10-20 seconds it'll sediment into its original density layers.

    could i do that with this set of solutions, or would you suggest some that i could, if possible :)

    thanks in advanc

  • Thanks for the lab procedure!

    I am glad you liked the video.

  • my water and vegetable oil keep on mixing, and that makes one big layer, and the alcohol also mixes with the oil

  • It is really bizarre if your water and vegetable oil mix. Oil and water are immiscible...

    If you combine ONLY oil and water, do they still mix?

    The soap layer often mixes with the water if you are not VERY careful, and the alcohol layer will mix with the water if they are placed on top of each other, but the alcohol should not mix with the oil either.

    I am curious what is going on with yours!

  • are you forgetting that some oils are soluble in water . maybe there using a olive oil ? or some other seed oil that can be dissolved in water ?

  • @ThirstForScience Soap operates by acting as a bridge between oils and water - eg. when you wash your hands, the soap pulls the oils along with the water down the drain. So if your soap has mixed with the water, then the long carbon chain of the soap can attract the oil, while the OH tail of the soap will attract to water, causing the two to mix.

  • lol big waste

  • THE AMEN BREAK!

  • coolnesss!

  • Really nice!!
