An Experiment in Homemade Bath Bombs

Today is Saturday, I have nothing to do, wandering on the Internet, came across a small experiment - "explosive bath salt ball" production steps. I saw on video that it actually created a lot of bubbles in the water like it exploded. Suddenly I opened my mouth with curiosity and thought secretly: this experiment is so interesting, I would like to try it.

When I took a break at noon, I looked at it at home, haha, the materials needed for the small experiment were all at home, and I was excited. According to the Internet, exploding bath salt balls are made with baking soda, citric acid, cornstarch, and some essential oils. They are powdery, white like sugar and salt, and come in coarse and fine particles.

The experiment has begun! I took the materials from the kitchen and weighed them precisely on my home electronic scale, so I carefully put on disposable gloves because they can irritate my skin. I pour them into a ceramic bowl, stir well with a chopstick and add essential oil. The powder is then poured into a twisting egg-shaped mold and compacted with the palm of your hand. In order for them to set, they must be frozen in the refrigerator. I followed the experiment steps on the tree, but after half an hour, I couldn't wait to open the refrigerator to look. But strangely, I found that the bath salt balls did not become clumps, but rather scattered like sand. Suddenly, I sighed and said to myself: "Dry, may be the online video division deceiving." I am not reconciled, and some doubts, on the anxious to ask my mother. The mother smiled and said, "You can go to the Internet to find out what the problem is!" So I quickly went online to find a lot of information, only to know that the key to the problem is that I actually forgot to add water, resulting in solidification.

This time, I confidently opened the mold and sprayed a small amount of water on it, thinking, "This should be a success." After two hours of freezing, I opened the refrigerator and gently took it out and held it in my hands. Usually mother to three urge four please, I am willing to take a bath, but this initiative to take the first wash. Because I could not keep down the excitement in my heart, anxious to witness the "miracle" moment.

I carefully like to open the twisted egg, the bath salt ball unscrewed, pinched and found that it became round, hard. At this point, the bath salt ball can be used. I excitedly took it to the bathroom, put it into a basin of water, and saw that the bath salt balls began to spit out white bubbles, scurrying around like small fish, while emitting a charming fragrance. I looked stunned, as if I had a dream, and in the dream I was like being in the sea, seeing a large group of small fish swimming to me. The sun shines through the clouds, shining on the sea, and I ride on the body of the big fish "riding the wind and waves". At this time, the sea is steaming with fog, and there are mermaids singing beautiful songs in the distance, and suddenly they turn into foam and embrace me. The nose seemed to smell the fresh, cold scent of the ocean. Ah, this dream is so beautiful I don't want to wake up.

The next morning, I found out on the Internet how the experiment worked. It turns out that when baking soda and citric acid encounter aquatic biochemical reactions, they will exhalate like an explosion, which is similar to effervescent tablets.

This experiment is so much fun. It is not only very practical, but also enriches my knowledge.
