* Left: In the previous experiment you have boiled some drops of
Cola in a cleaned Liquemin bottle: Water vapour left
through the straw.
* Photo 2: Huge quantities
of water vapour above the cooling tower of a power plant.
* Photo 3: Quickly turn
the bottle with the boiling Cola upwards down and dip it into the container
with cold red water.
Observation
right: The upper vial is filled by a fountain of red water.
Explanation:
In the beginning the bottle was not empty. It contained some drops of Cola
(most of it water) and 6 ml of air. During boiling of Cola 6 ml of
water vapour replaced the air inside the bottle. During cooling the
bottle this water vapour was quickly transformed into a tiny drop of liquid
water. Now the bottle was really empty sucking red water upwards.
Instead of boiling Cola in a
Liquemin bottle you can also do that in an "empty" Cola can. The can sucks
cooling water so vigorously that it collapses with
a bang.
