Why Do Skittles Do This In Water?

  • In this video I show you an awesome trick to do with skittles. You place skittles around a plate and then pour water on them to make this awesome trick happen. You let the water dissolve the sugar and coloring in the skittles. Then the sugar and coloring begin to diffuse into the water. Since the sugar water is denser than the water it moves toward the lowest portion of the plate quickly. This is why you see these nice streaks of color. Diffusion and gravity work together to make this trick awesome! I describe how the diffusion of the coloring and sugar follow Fick’s law of diffusion. Then I describe how convection is much faster than diffusion.

  • @tubingview3251
    @tubingview3251 2 года назад +2

    I think the steering and confining effect of adjacent diffusing Skittles keeps the coloring of each one headed for the middle. There is nowhere for the sugar/color to go if you are shoulder-to-shoulder with another unit. What happens in a plate that is dead flat in the middle?

    On one year the final national chemistry exam in my country was to track the spread of the colors of skittles in water.
    They had to cancel it quickly after because some of the students ate the skittles, even though the instructions forbade it because they were expired

    On a related subject, when you get half sweet and half unsweetened tea at the convenience store, get the unsweetened part first, then top off with the sweetened. It will mix itself quickly as the denser sweetened tea drops towards the bottom. If you do the opposite, they won't mix themselves
