Chemistry is Everywhere Final Draft When a substance combines with other substances to create entirely new substances, this is called a chemical change. A simpler way to explain this is when one or more substances are altered into one or many more new and different substances. It is a reaction involving the reorganization of atoms among chemicals. This is when the new substance is going through the process of chemical change. When going through the process the object cannot be reversed it is permanent except by further chemical reactions. A major part of the science of chemistry is the understanding of chemical changes. The atoms are rearranged when chemical reactions occur and the reaction is further accompanied by a complete energy change as the new…show more content… The water and remaining gas becomes much denser than the oil when there is enough bubbles popping. So through the oil, the balls of water will sink down and join the rest of the water molecules. Density changes as gas are added or taken away from the water molecules this causes it to begin to float up and sink down throughout the oil. Resulting in the magnificent lava lamp being created!
So we conclude with this the Lava Lamp consisted of two insoluble solutions. In this experiment, we attempted to use water and oil to imitate a real-life lava lamp. The liquid that is denser will end up sinking to the bottom of the experiment bottle while the other molecules rest on the top. We found out that the water sank to the bottom, leaving the oil at the top of the experiment bottle since the water is much denser than the oil is.
A real lava lamp would contain a light bulb at the bottom of the bottle that contains the liquids and gas. Within the lava lamp, the light bulb is its main source of heat. The denser liquid floats to the top of the bottle creating the “lava lamp effect” because of the heat source (the light bulb). Now because we are not able to use a light bulb in our experiment, we used
