The document describes an experiment with food coloring. An orange food coloring solution was used and remained orange after being transferred to different vials. While the color became lighter in subsequent vials, the food coloring was still present in the final vial due to the color occupying intermolecular spaces in the liquid and remaining even when the liquid was transferred. Students observed this and discussed how the color remained because it filled the spaces between molecules in the liquid.

Q1. What is the color of the food coloring solution used? What is the color of the resulting solution. - The color of the solution is Orange as well as the resulting solution Q2. What can you observe about the color of the solutions in vial B, C and D? Based on your observation, is the food coloring still present in the solution contained in vial D? Explain your answer. - The color of the solution became lighter and the food coloring is still present in vial D. Q3. With your group mates, discuss and give your reasons behind the observation on Q2. - The liquid has spaces(intermolecular spaces), and the solid presented by the food color occupied the spaces. Even the another vial has been transferred by another, the color will remain since the intermolecular is already occupied by the color.
