Lava Lamp

In this instructable i will be guiding you how to make your very own Lava Lamp.

This is just like a lava lamp . . . without the lamp!.

The bubbling effect and the turbulence produced resembles a Lava spewing out of the volcano is due to the

CO2(Carbon dioxide) gas produced due to the reaction between CH3COOH(Vinegar) and Baking Soda(NaHCO3) which is trying to escape into the atmosphere.

Lets get started

>10 ml Vinegar

>75 ml Vegetable Oil

>4 tablespoon Baking Soda

>Food Color

>Funnel(you can make out of paper or plastic sheet)

>Bowl x 2

Pour about 10 ml of Vinegar into a bowl.

Add a small pinch of Food Color to Vinegar.

I have chosen orange color to give my Lamp a Lava like effect.

Make a funnel using paper and add roughly around 4 tablespoon of Baking Soda into the container.

Prepare a funnel with any plastic sheet.

Now pour 75 ml of Vegetable oil into the plastic container .

Using a syringe pour the colored Vinegar drop by drop into the plastic container containing Vegetable Oil and Baking Soda.

Hope you liked this experiment .
