Get ready to dive into a fascinating chemistry experiment that reveals the unique properties of nanobubbles.
In this test, we demonstrate how nanobubbles interact with a reactive salt mixture to prevent the typical "white water" effect that you usually see in deionized water.
In this experiment, we use two glasses side by side, each containing a layer of salts at the bottom. In one glass, we pour deionized water, and in the other, deionized water treated with Moleaer’s nanobubble generator.
Why It Matters: Nanobubbles and Their Charge Effects
This experiment highlights a fundamental property of nanobubbles: their surface charge. Nanobubbles are not like regular air bubbles. They are stable nanoparticles with high surface charge density, and this allows them to efficiently interact with other substances – especially charged species, like salts.
In deionized water, the chemical reaction between salt and water releases gas, forming bubbles that cloud the water. However, in nanobubble water, the charged nanobubbles alter the dynamics of the chemical reaction, preventing gas formation and maintaining clear, clean water.
The Fizzy Mocktail Test clearly demonstrates that nanobubbles don’t just mix with water – they actively modify the way water behaves on a molecular level.
This ability to influence chemical reactions has real-world applications across various industries.
The charged nature of nanobubbles provides a significant advantage in controlling and optimizing physical, chemical, and biological processes. As a result, nanobubbles can be used in a broad range of applications ranging from acting as catalysts for biological and chemical reactions, to improving nutrient uptake of plants, to interacting with minerals in water, even improving drug delivery.
Nanobubbles offer unique solutions for a wide range of industries and applications where introducing benign and eco-friendly charged particles can improve physical, chemical, or biological processes.
