- What did you observe in the container immediately after
- the food color was mixed in the water?
- Which is faster to spread in the water, the 1 drop of food
- color or the 2 drops of food color?
- How long did it take the food color to fully mix with water?
Answer:
1. Mixing by Convection. If the container of water is warmer or cooler than the ambient air, it will develop convective flow patterns as the water
2.Drops of food coloring placed in hot water will diffuse faster than drops of food coloring placed in cold water because the particles move faster at higher temperatures.
3.20 minutes
It may take up to 20 minutes for the food-dye molecules to disperse evenly throughout the water.
