Surface tension holds the surface molecules of liquids tightly together and makes for some fun experiments!

Cool chemical experiments Win compilation
Anti buuble?
last effect is messiner effect
I think that the bubbles form because the soap and coffee have a higher concentration making it heavier and when you flick it you get air into it but the soap holds it thus because it's lighter it sits on top of the solution
Anti bubbles
Your amazing
Beast video
Cool video! Studying for my chemistry test and found this. Cool video and sure as hell made this a lot more interesting than my Chemistry teacher.
I think I know what a bubble did the bubbles are the air that comes inside of a lots of products
2nd one. I have seen those liquid spheres when I was having a shower.
in numer 2 i think the increase in surface tension makes posible to agglomerate less dense material into a sphere. And the sphere falls down when is heavy enough
Roosters… are even more fun when they're bantams parked upside your window.
CIA NIGGERS R COMING
Smarter every day has a video on bubbles on liquids.
I used to get crazy my mother with the last one!!
thumps up
antibubbles
Hi Dianna, I've just seen this video by Derek from Veritasium "Is this what quantum mechanics looks like?" and he talked about this experiment very similar to the experience you had with your coffee. Does it answer your query?
Have you tried the coin one with a ring? it looks pretty cool
From 0:43 to 0:48 notice that the larger bubbles absorb the smaller bubbles: the air pressure in the smaller bubble is larger, pushing air from the smaller to the adjacent larger bubble (through the membrane separating them). See Discrepant Balloons by FlinnScientific. The same happens to connected soap bubbles (see my "Unit 5 Fluid Experiments" at 5.40 min) and to the foam bubbles on top of carbonated drinks.
OMG
Soap increases the surface tension of the coffee…i guess thats why those drops float on surface.
Very cool!
the soap molecules are discrete from the molecules of the constituents of the coffee ,milk and water.so when u were striking the top layer of the soaped coffe with a bud, it created a partial vaccum over there which forced the soap bubbles from below to rise up from bottom and kinetic energy of that bud gave it sufficient energy to move and collide with the wall of the cup
those coffee bubbles were antibubbles
the 3rd trick must be antibubbles
I've heard it called bouling. I'm guessing at the spelling. If it weren't for the ability of anti-foams to break the surface tension in lignin sugar/caustic based liquors in paper mills, there would be no such thing as commercial paper products w/o incredible amounts of pollution. The same principle applies when you place a finger tip in the head of freshly drawn beer. The small amount of oil from your skin lowers the surface tension in the foam. Collapse ensues. A clean beer mug makes for happy beer. Oil from excess handling or soap residue affects the nature of the product.
What is the explanation of the last experience ?
Great one! I've learned two things:
1. You can do crazy astonishing experiments with water
2. I need a passionate physicist as girlfriend 😉
you are so pretty
Cool!
I love the liedenfrost effect, it's so simple yet so pervasive.
love it
I think the moisture of the sope helps the bubbles float ontop of the cofee.
How number 2 happens is when you hit the water air gets put under the h2o and the soap holds it there like a bubble
