What type of mixture is the food coloring?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You must read the package as food coloring comes in different strengths depending on the brand.

Though this answer is true it is not very helpful. a little more direction for Cake icing, for example, takes 3 drops of blue and 2 drops of green to create teal, a 3:2 ratio. Egg coloring takes 15 drops of blue and 5 drops of green, a 3:1 ratio (Reference 1). For teal, the general idea is to add more blue and less green. For orange, add more yellow and less red. For purple, use slightly more red than blue. Add a little bit of yellow to green to get a jungle green. Combine all the colors for dark brown or black.

Why does salt dissolve faster with food coloring in the water?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is true that an ice cube will melt much faster in tap water than in salt water. And although there is a difference in how high the ice cube will float in each (as I'd said before), it is not enough to make the major difference.

When you think of a regular ice cube melting in a regular glass of water, you have to remember that cold water (like the water from the ice cube) is actually denser than warm water (like the water in the cup). This is because in the cold water, the molecules have less energy and are actually closer together than in warmer water. So as the ice cube melts, the cold water coming off of it sinks to the bottom of the glass and the warm water from the bottom comes up to take its place. The water in the glass is actually constantly moving, keeping the ice cube warm by something that scientists call 'convection currents.'

But salt water is much denser than tap water, warm or cold. So when you put a freshwater ice cube in a glass of salt water, the cold water coming off the ice cube doesn't sink at all. Instead, the dense salt water stays at the bottom of the glass and the cold water stays on the top. Without any convection currents to carry the cold water away from the ice cube, the ice cube melts much more slowly.

If I remember my science class correctly it has something to do with diffusion. the molecules of the food coloring combine with the molecules of the water which is why the food coloring doesn't separate from the water that easily. that is if i remember my science class correctly.

Is food coloring a mechanical mixture or solution?

Asked by Wiki User

It is a solution because Tartrazine, and Brilliant Blue FCF are both water soluble. As you might already know a solution has a Solute, the colouring, and a solvent the h2o.

RED food coloring caused an epidmic a few years ago because some people where allergic to the red food dye in M+Ms. now that problem is fixed, however.

Try adding a bit of red food coloring, a little bit at a time until the desired color of blue is achieved. To much red will turn the blue to purple. Try using a toothpick with the red. Best to try with a little blue icing first.

Skin tone food coloring?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Naturally it depends on what you mean by skin tone. If you're wanting to create a Caucasion-type color in, say, frosting for a cake, you might try adding a drop of both yellow and orange food coloring to a canister of white frosting. If it isn't pink enough for you, you might add a drop of red food coloring. If you're looking to make a more brown colored frosting, you could add a couple of drops of both green and red food coloring to the white frosting (or just use chocolate).

How many tablespoons of food coloring are in a ounce?

Asked by Wiki User

There is no standard conversion because tablespoons is a volume measure and ounces a weight measure. For example, an ounce of feathers will take up more tablespoons than an ounce of lead will. Hence the conversion varies a lot depending on what substance you are converting.
