Water is clear because protons can pass through the molecular structure of water uninterrupted. Food coloring on the other hand contains a molecular structure that can absorb protons. The molecular structure contains a high amount of conjugated electrons, which means that the electrons in the molecule can vibrate further than in a non-conjugated molecule. The ability to vibrate allows the molecules in food coloring to interact with protons.

Why food coloring dissolves faster in hot water than cold water?

Food colouring dissolves faster in hot water because the water molecules have more energy and they move around more creating larger gaps for the food colouring molecules to fit into, while the cold water has less energy and the water molecules are closser together making it harder for the food colouring to dissolve


How does a homemade lava lamp work?

A homemade lava lamp works by using a combination of oil and water mixed with food coloring inside a container. When an Alka-Seltzer tablet is added, it reacts with the water to create bubbles that rise up through the oil, carrying droplets of food coloring with them. This creates the lava lamp effect as the colored bubbles move up and down in the container.
