QUESTION:

What are the two things reacted in Lava Lamp?

When the mixture is poured into the glass, it sinks to the bottom and
the chemical reaction occurs between the baking soda and vinegar. This
endothermic chemical reaction creates carbon dioxide as well as causes
the glass to cool noticeably.

Hypothesis:
With emitted light, the lava lamp will glow.

Results:
When the vinegar reacted with the baking soda, it caused a chemical
reaction that caused bubbles to rise to the top of the jar, creating a
lava lamp.

Analyzed Data:
The oil is less dense and thus seems to float on the vinegar. The oil is
also less dense than the food coloring and vinegar mixture. When the
mixture is poured into the glass, it sinks to the bottom, and the chemical
reaction occurs between the baking soda and vinegar. This endothermic
chemical reaction creates carbon dioxide as well as causes the glass to
cool noticeably. As the carbon dioxide bubbles rise toward the surface,
little globs of colored water stick to the bubbles, creating the lava lamp
effect. As the bubbles reach the surface, they pop, and the colored
water sinks back toward the bottom of the glass.

Conclusion:
Bubbles approach to the surface of the glass, they burst and the colored
water begins to return to its original position, closer to the base of the
vessel.
