How to Make a Cloud in a Bottle

How to Make a Cloud in a Bottle

There's no need to look up to see the clouds in the sky when you can make a fun cloud of your own at home! All you need is a glass jar or plastic soda bottle and a few common household items. Try this easy experiment to have your own cloud in a bottle.

Have the following on hand:

• Large glass jar (one gallon size)
• Matches
• Rubber glove
• Rubber band
• Flashlight or lamp
• Food coloring
• Water

Pour boiling water into the jar. Use just enough water to cover the bottom of the jar. You only want to use a small amount of water so that the water can evaporate.

Put the rubber glove wrist around the mouth of the jar. Have the fingers of the glove pointing downward into the jar. This will seal in the air into the jar.

Try putting your hand in the glove. Once your hand is in the glove, move it upward so that you pull the fingers of the glove up. You’ll notice that nothing happens to the water in the jar.

Light a match and drop it in the jar. Take the glove off the jar for just a moment. Light a match (or have an adult light it for you) and drop it in the jar. Stretch the glove back over the jar, with the fingers pointing down into the jar.

• The water at the bottom of the jar will put out the match, and smoke will form in the jar.

Put your hand in the glove again. Slide your hand into the glove and pull it outward again. This time, a cloud will form in the jar. When you put your hand back inside the jar, the cloud will disappear.^[1]

• This will last for 5-10 minutes, and then the particles will settle into the bottom of the jar.

Shine a flashlight on the jar. When you shine a light on the jar, you will be able to see the clouds better.

Understand how this works. The air is full of warm water vapor molecules inside the jar. The air is compressed by the glove because the glove takes up some of the space inside the jar. Pulling the glove fingers out of the jar releases some space in the jar. The air inside the jar cools. The smoke from the match acts as a vehicle that the water molecules can attach to. They stick to the smoke particles, condensing into cloud droplets.^[2]

• When the glove fingers go back into the jar, the air inside the jar warms up again and the cloud disappears.

HOW TO MAKE LIQUID OXYGEN

HOW TO MAKE LIQUID OXYGEN

Liquid oxygen or O₂ is an interesting blue liquid that you can prepare quite easily yourself. There are several ways to make liquid oxygen. This one uses liquid nitrogen to cool oxygen from a gas into a liquid.

Liquid Oxygen Materials

• A cylinder of oxygen gas
• 1-liter Dewark of liquid nitrogen
• Test tube (approximately 200ml)
• Rubber tubing
• Glass tubing (to fit inside test tube)

Preparation

1.  Clamp a 200-ml test tube so that it will sit in a bath of liquid nitrogen.

1. Connect one end of a length of rubber tubing to an oxygen cylinder and the other end to a piece of glass tubing.
2. Place the glass tubing in the test tube.
3. Crack open the valve on the oxygen cylinder and adjust the flow rate of the gas so that there is a slow and gentle flow of gas into the test tube. As long as the flow rate is slow enough, liquid oxygen will begin to condense in the test tube. It takes approximately 5-10 minutes to collect 50 mL of liquid oxygen.
4. When you have collected sufficient liquid oxygen, close the valve on the oxygen gas cylinder.

Liquid Oxygen Uses

You can use liquid oxygen for many of the same projects you would perform using liquid nitrogen. It's also used to enrich fuel, as a disinfectant (for its oxidizing properties), and as a liquid propellant for rockets. Many modern rockets and spacecraft use liquid oxygen engines.

Safety Information

• Oxygen is an oxidizer. It reacts very readily with combustible materials. According to the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS), materials you may ordinarily consider non-combustible, such as steel, iron, Teflon, and aluminum, may burn with liquid oxygen. Flammable organic materials may react explosively. It's important to work with liquid oxygen away from a flame, spark, or heat source.

• Liquid nitrogen and liquid oxygen are extremely cold. These materials are capable of causing severe frostbite. Avoid skin contact with these liquids. Also, take care to avoid touching any object which has been in contact with the cold fluids, since it may also be very cold.
• Dewars are easily broken by mechanical shock or exposure to extreme temperature changes. Take care to avoid striking the Dewar. Don't slam a cold Dewar on a warm countertop, for example.

• Liquid oxygen boils off to form oxygen gas, which enriches the concentration of oxygen in the air. Use care to avoid oxygen intoxication. Work with liquid oxygen outdoors or in well-ventilated rooms.

Disposal

If you have leftover liquid oxygen, the safest way to dispose of it is to pour it over a noncombustible surface and allow it to evaporate into the air.

Interesting Liquid Oxygen Fact

Although Michael Faraday liquefied most gases known at the time (1845), he was unable to liquefy oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, methane, carbon monoxide, and methane. The first measurable sample of liquid oxygen was produced in 1883 by Polish professors Zygmunt Wróblewski and Karol Olszewski. A couple of weeks later, the pair successfully condensed liquid nitrogen.

How To Make Glowing Water │Water Radium

 How To Make Glowing Water │Water Radium

You can make glow­ing liq­uid from in­gre­di­ents that ev­ery­one will find at home

Pre­pare salt, vine­gar, hy­dro­gen per­ox­ide, fizzy wa­ter. You can make glow­ing wa­ter from these in­gre­di­ents in 15 min­utes. It’s a sim­ple process that doesn’t re­quire spe­cial ef­forts. We’ll look at the or­der of ac­tions in de­tail.

1. Take a plas­tic bot­tle filled with 0.5 l of fizzy wa­ter.
2. Add two to three spoon­fuls of ta­ble vine­gar to the bot­tle of wa­ter.
3. Add three tea­spoons of 3% hy­dro­gen per­ox­ide.
4. Put a lid on the bot­tle and thor­ough­ly mix the con­tents. This process will take at least 15 min­utes.
5. Open the bot­tle and pour the re­sult­ing liq­uid into a glass jar, and it will start to glow.

Another Meathod

To make blue glow­ing liq­uid, you’ll need:

• hy­dro­gen per­ox­ide (80 ml);

• lu­mi­nol (2 g);

• cop­per sul­fate (3 g);

• sodi­um hy­drox­ide so­lu­tion (10 ml);

• wa­ter (one cup);

• flu­o­res­cent col­or­ing – or­di­nary “bril­liant green” will do;

• a glass or plas­tic bot­tle.

Add all the in­gre­di­ents apart from the lu­mi­nol to the bot­tle of wa­ter and shake thor­ough­ly. To the re­sult­ing com­pound, add lu­mi­nol and watch as the liq­uid in the bot­tle be­gins to glow blue in the re­ac­tion process

BURSTING BALLOON WITH ORANGE PEEL JUICE

BURSTING BALLOON WITH ORANGE PEEL JUICE

THERE IS AN INTERESTING FACT ABOUT THE ORANGE PEEL THAT IT MELTS THE LATEX .  .  .  .

DID YOU KNOW ???   balloon is also made up of latex

So we can do an experiment in which we can pop a balloon by just spraying the Orange peel juice on it

Let us take balloon and fill air in it and then spray the orange peel juice by squeezing the peel . you will observe that the balloon had poped this is due to the melting of latex causing air in it to pass out and making it to deflate......

                              HOPE YOU WOULD LIKE THE EXPERIMENT
