Experiment One

In the first experiment, we have one waterproof tank with a removable watertight partition in the middle. We will be filling the right side of the tank with red water and the left side of the tank with blue water. All of the water will be fresh and of the same temperature.

What do you think will happen when the partition is removed and the liquids are aloud to mix?

  1. Nothing will happen
  2. Liquids will mix completely
  3. One of the liquids will flow on top of the other creating two liquid layers.

What happened, and why?
