1. Colored Fire
Materials Needed: potassium nitrate (salt substitute) for violet, alcohol (hand sanitizer) for blue, boric acid (roach killer) for green, sodium chloride (table salt) for yellow and a mix of salt and strontium nitrate for orange, and for red, strontium nitrate (red emergency flare).
Keep in mind that you won’t have to use all of the listed materials above in order to do this experiment. Sprinkle the chemicals on a fire-proof surface, add fuel on them and light them on fire. If the colorants are not burning, that means you need to add more fuel if you want to enjoy the rainbow effect. If you want to try this experiment, use with safety equipment and we would recommend you to have an adult supervision.
This was our list of 10 simple chemistry experiments with everyday materials. Keep in mind that you need to have an adult supervision if you want to do them for your own safety.
