When you mix water, oil, food coloring, and an effervescent tablet (like Alka-Seltzer), the food coloring, which is water-based, will initially mix with the water but not with the oil, creating a layered effect. As the effervescent tablet dissolves, it produces carbon dioxide gas, which forms bubbles that carry the colored water upwards through the oil. Once the bubbles reach the surface and pop, the colored water drops back down, creating a dynamic lava lamp-like effect. This demonstrates the differences in density and solubility between the components.
The food coloring will disperse and mix with the water, creating a uniformly colored solution. The rate at which this happens will depend on the concentration of the food coloring and how vigorously the water is stirred.
Yes, food colouring mixes into water and will become uniform.
well somebody has to make it don't they. they get food colouring and water and mix it together. it is pretty easy
They dont 'react'. the plant sucks up the food colouring (like water). this happens all of the time to plants, except you cant see it usually. Anyway, the plant sucks up the colouring, and treats it as water :)
mix it with water

The soft, effervescent explosion from the top of the opened bottle lets us know that the champagne is still bubbly.
carbon dioxide
Because of the way they make the colouring in the smatie outer coat, there is a ingredient which allows the colouring to leak out in the water and that's what happens also with your tounge.
Effervescent tablets are used in homemade lava lamps because they contain citric acid and baking soda, which react together to produce carbon dioxide gas bubbles. These bubbles rise through the oil, carrying the colored water with them and creating the lava lamp effect.
Food colouring and water
Effervescent tablets typically contain acid and base components that react in water to produce carbon dioxide gas, leading to fizzing or bubbling. This can help with taste masking or ease of ingestion for certain medications or supplements. Effervescent formulations may also enhance drug absorption due to increased solubility and quicker dissolution in water.
