Insert nails into your soap: a surprising experience!
Adding nails to a soap may seem like a strange idea, but this experience can actually be educational and fun. In this article, we will explore the effects of this unexpected combination.
Materials required:
- Soap of your choice
- Metal clad
- Knife or cutter
Procedure:
To achieve this experience, follow these simple steps:
- Choose a solid soap of your preference.
- Using a knife or cutter, do notches on the soap to insert the nails.
- Insert the nails into the notches of the soap. You can dispose of them randomly or on a pattern.
- Let the soap rest with the nails for a few hours or a night to allow the two elements to combine.
Results:
Once you let the soap rest with the nails, you may notice some surprising changes:
- Soap can acquire a rough texture due to the nails that cross it.
- Foam produced by soap can take on a metallic tint.
- The colour of the soap can also be affected by the presence of nails.
Scientific explanation:
This is due to the interaction between soap components and nail metal. Soap pH can react with nail metal, causing visual changes. In addition, the rough texture of soap can be the result of nail-induced abrasion.
Cautions:
Careful handling of nails is important to avoid injuries. After completing the experiment, make sure to remove the nails before washing with soap to avoid any risk of cutting.
Conclusion:
Inserting nails into your soap can be a fun and educational experience to discover the surprising reactions between these two elements. Do not hesitate to try this experience to observe for yourself the fascinating effects that this can produce.
