Ricing Water Experiment Explained

The document outlines a science experiment called 'Ricing Water Experiment' that involves using a plate, candle, water, and optional food coloring. The experiment demonstrates how changes in temperature and volume affect pressure, causing water to rise inside a glass placed over a burning candle. This phenomenon is explained by the ideal gas law.

SCIENCE EXPERIMENT

NAME: CARL JIM K. DELA CRUZ DATE:


RICING WATER EXPEREMENT
MATERIALS:
 Plats
 Candle
 Water
 Food coloring (Optional)
 Matches or Lighter
STEPS
[Link] a plate and fill it with water. Just enough to
cover the bottom.
[Link] you want, add food coloring to the water. This just
makes it easier to see and is fun, so totally optional.
[Link] your small votive in the middle of the plate.
[Link] the candle, then quickly pace the empty glass
over flame, touching the water. Now wait while the
candle burns out.
[Link] as the water rises up into the glass.

EXPLANATION OF THE EXPERIMENT


These two parts of experiment work together. Both the
volume change and temperature also affect the pressure
in the system we create. When temperature decreases
(the physical component) and the size of the matter
decreases (the chemical component), the pressure of the
gas inside the glass decreases too. If the air inside the
glass takes up less space, it makes sense for the water to
fill in the space and rise inside the glass.
This lower pressure insides means the water can rise as
well. This explained by the ideal Gas law.
