Oh, the green is a nice addition, for sure. It just wasn't mentioned in the title v

Was anyone else waiting for something to come crawling out of the glass at a certain point?

So that’s how they make lava lamps

I, to this day, can watch a lava lamp for an hour.

Me too. Then I remember to plug it in. ?

6 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Partly. Lava lamps use heat rather than seltzers

6 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

Yes, and wax and water. When the bulb base heats the wax, it warms, floats to the top, cools, sinks, and repeats.

6 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Paraffin wax to be specific. Since it's oil based, it has a lower melting point than other waxes.

Now someone explain the science... I'll wait

Is this how lava lamps are made?

What kind of cocktail is this?

6 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Alka Seltzer (has bicarbonate) in water produces carbon dioxide gas. That gas rises into the oil (a fat), which rises out of the glass.

6 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Yay acid base chemistry!!! (Not being sarcastic, just showing how cool chemistry can really be!)

See, I veiw the internet as kinda like a street. And if something makes me stop for a few moments then I owe them an up vote. This was so

As a beginning biochem student I would like to know more tyvm

Current Chem teacher here - water and oil don’t mix from the polarity issue, Alka Seltzer dissolves in the water and releases gases 1/

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Gas bubbles rise up and get coated in oil, making them sink, but it can’t sink all the way down because of polarity (again). Add 2/

Coloring and you’ve got a cheap lava lamp. Great at hole project with kids - I use a mason jar but don’t screw the lid on. We found 3/

Do we know what the oil would do to the typical reaction?

6 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 0

It should do nothing other than floating on top of the diet coke and spurt out with everything else, creating an even bigger mess.

So hot oil it is then

I used to drop a few cubes in the fryers at work before the fry guy came in and turned them on. Always good for a laugh.
