Hello everyone today I'am going to show you Crazy science experiment on "Colored Flames" that will surprise you right here in The Maverick Lab. Let's have some fun with this cool science experiment.

Firstly we’re gonna need a big bottle of Acetone...a small bottle also would do, but if you wanna have twice as much fun, the big bottle is what you need.

Now everyone has acetone lying in their houses..but don't worry..you could substitute it with either a hand sanitizer or even an aftershave lotion.

When i say colored flame, i know you guys are thinking about all the bright colors like red or green...so why not start from there

For a bright green flame, take a flat container and mix boric acid and acetone in it. If you’re wondering where you’re gonna get boric acid from, the powder that you use to keep ants away...that’s got boric acid in it people.

Boric acid doesn’t burn by itself..that is why we have to mix it with acetone. Now that we’ve mixed it, lets ignite it. See how the flame is an awesome green?

If you want a red flame, you will need to cut up a few lithium ion batteries...be careful with this guys. Mix the lithium you have taken from the batteries in some acetone and light it on fire for a really bright and awesome red flame.

Getting into the whole coloured flame thing aren’t we..so why don’t you try something else too...get some non sodium salt substitute...don’t look at me like that...those things exist.

Any way, mix the non sodium salt substitute with acetone and light it up...the potassium chloride in the substitute lends the flame a lavender color.

When boron compounds are heated, electrons absorb a certain amount of heat energy that causes them to jump to higher energy levels. After some time, the electrons lose this energy and fall back down to their original levels, emitting this energy in the form of light. Because the energy absorbed by electrons is different per element, each element will give a different color.

Now let’s scale this experiment up a bit. I am sure you guys will have spray bottles lying around your house. Now mix a good quantity of Boric acid with acetone and pour it in the spray bottle.

Before you go to the next step, i’d advise you to wear gloves...you’ll see why. Adjust the nozzle of your spray can so that it sprays more like a mist. That's it..spray it on the naked flame and watch. Congratulations you are a fire bender now.
