1:44 The experiment

This experiment has three concepts.

First, is solubility. The food coloring used to coat the surface of the candies is water soluble. When placed in the water, the coloring dissolves gradually turning the clear water into colored water.

Second, is diffusion. In liquid, molecules (small particles) move randomly around bombarding one another resulting in Brownian Movement. Over time, this motion causes the color molecules to spread from areas of high concentration (around the candies) to areas of low concentration. Such Bottom of the tank. Sugar water is denser then regular water.

Third, concept is stratification. This physics concept is the explanation of why the different colors are not mixed together during the experiment. As you see in the video that the formation of water separates into colors and does not mix together which is based on salinity and temperature. Which tend to stratify (configure) themselves into different layers instead of mixing together.

So, I decided to try this again but this time instead of room temperature water, I use very hot tap water. As you can see I did not balance the candy and it wants to fall over. So, I have to hold it this time. But you will notice that the food coloring that coats the candy is coming off very fast in the hot tap water. And the particles are moving very fast to the bottom of the tank.
