Code Number: 2B40.53
Demo Title: Oil and Water "U" Tube
Condition: Good
Principle: Moles and Periodic Chart Fundamentals
Area of Study: Fluids
Equipment:
"U" Tube Manometer, Kroil, and Colored Water.
Procedure:
The demo is already set up and ready to go. Kroil is red and the colored water is the blue. On top of the blue column is a little bit of the oil to keep the water from evaporating.
