Seven Layer Density Column Experiment (Chemistry)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 фев 2016
- Different liquids can be layered on top of each other based upon their density and with respect to their polarity.
▶️ See the supply list to make a density column: www.beardedscienceguy.com/how...
▶️ How to make a seven-layer density column:
Step 1: Start with an empty, tall glass container. The size of your container will determine how many and how much of each liquid to add to form your layers. It's best if each layer is at least 1 inch thick.
Step 2: Pour honey into the very bottom of the container using a kitchen baster to create the first layer. Be careful not to get any honey on the sides of the container as you add the honey.
Step 2: In a separate container, mix food coloring with corn syrup (we used yellow), and then add on top of the honey using the baster.
Step 3: Add dish soap (we used Dawn that was already a green color) using the baster, and again avoid hitting the sides of the container.
Step 4: In a separate container, mix food coloring with water (we used red). When adding the water layer to the container, change tactics to let the water drip down the side out of the baster instead.
Step 5: Add a vegetable oil layer in the same way as the water step above. We did not use food coloring in our vegetable oil layer.
Step 6: In a separate container, mix food coloring with add 91% isopropyl alcohol (we used blue), and add the second-to-last layer via the baster method down the inside wall of the container.
Step 7: Add lamp oil (we purchased a red oil - food coloring will not mix with lamp oil) as your final layer.
Step 8: You're now ready to test the density of various objects using the column. We tested a metal screw, a grape tomato, a plastic bottle cap, and a ping pong ball.
▶️ How the density column works:
As you go from top to bottom the layers, become denser and denser, preventing them from mixing together. Different objects will stop at the different layers based on their density, floating suspended in the column.

damn tom was right, this is dope. time to spend all night delving into the science side of youtube o boy

Yuh
Can someone explain why some liquids and objects have greater or less density than ithers
My high school chemistry teacher also named Mr Beard. I could not thank my high school teacher enough. They were the best I had fortunately learned from
I enjoyed this video :)
i want a ping pong ball
i was sent here from corona
Totally doing this.
What would happen if you stirred this mixture? would it eventually resort itself?
Nice
what id you mix that container? do they separate again?
I'm here because I'm making potion earrings and am trying to figure out the best solution to make ombre effect without having a liquid that'll dissolve lol
What can I use instead of a tomato
what soundtrack is that
This was in my homework book
Hey Man Great Video!
I was just wondering what that glass cup is called?

+BeardedSchienceGuy what's the experiment on 0:07 ? can't find it anywhere. it looks interesting
its a homemade electric motor. very cool, just look it up on youtube
Hi +BeardedSchienceGuy! Great videos! Quick question: If I want to make a density column that I after making would want to shake and then have it return to the original layers, what should I use?
Sofia Cardozo i know this was a long time ago, but to answer what you said : you could shake it and it would eventually go back to the layers. due to the differences in density it would eventually go back to 7 layers.
will it work because I have science experiment to present and I am thinking of doing these
What we can use instead of corn syrup or maple syrup
They are almost the same thing so you can choose which to use
What can I replace with alcohol

When I was in 8th grade I made a layered solution with ammonia and bleach and got it to stay for about 30 seconds before it reacted. It took very steady hands! Wish I had a video of it.
ammonia and bleach makes a toxic gas called chlorine gas. it was a gas that was used and banned in ww1 because of how powerful it is.
@@quzi4641 that's why it's so fun to mess with.
@@ThePeterDislikeShow my boy, when you inhale chlorine gas, you die or get serious lung issues. like smoking 20,000 cigarettes in the span of a few seconds
@@quzi4641 It's not nearly so bad if you do it outdoors with just enough to make a layered solution.
@@ThePeterDislikeShow alr bru
my teacher would have told me to mix it and if it didnt resolve itself then it wasnt a density column. :,)
Trying to make class more fun, wish me luck
Check out this one, it is less messy and can go in a bottle that can be shaken and then separate an unlimited number of times. ruclips.net/video/Db6Ai_4ZetA/видео.html
Can I have you as my science teacher please?
Exactly

I made a mix of Honey, rubbing alcohol,dish soap, coconut oil, and water for a school project (it’s all I have rn) and the water ruined all my layers, will they separate again??
Sadly no, if you need to move it to take it to schools there is a three level density column that will separate again after shaking. water, rubbing alcohol, oil of some type, green food coloring and a bunch of salt. You can see it here ruclips.net/video/Db6Ai_4ZetA/видео.htmlsi=y0cy7cSBNgsPsCVL Good luck!!!
If you add enough salt it would actually make a fourth layer at the very bottom.
@@BeardedScienceGuy ohh I see, thank you for the quick response! Very interesting stuff :D
dawn dish soap is blue, not green. what gives??
bill nye who? sorry only heard of bearded science guy
I would like to see something like that in a vacuum chamber or artificial weightlessness.. (for the doubters ;)
what do i do with this information
Eat it
Hey....i hope you answer.....can i use 70% rubbing alcohol?
3 years waiting for the answer
I'm surprised the honey and the corn syrup didn't mix. Why is that?
+James Craver Two reasons, the first is that honey has a higher density than corn syrup 1.42 g/ml vs 1.37 g/ml. The second reason is that they are extremely viscous liquids and the molecules hang on to each other tightly such that they don't mix easily with other liquids.
+BeardedScienceGuy I see. I was thinking of polarity as some binary attribute but it's more complicated than that.
If I mixed lamp oil and water together really well they would still separate into layers on their own because of polarity. With corn syrup and honey as long as I don't try and mix them together they will stay as separate layers for a while but if stirred them together their polarity would cause them to stay mixed together.

What is the significance of this project in our everyday life?
It proves that gravity is a lie and the earth is flat
To show flat earthers how dumb they are
Nice Nice Nice Nice Nice!!!!!
Who’s here because of school :(
pov ur in physics
I've only heard of the five layer.
I failed so badly
when you subscribe cause the guy is hot.
THAT is bold
