You can learn how this experiment is carried out at the video found here:

This is what we expected chemistry classes to look like as kids.

Time to give my school bully some “water”

The erlenmeyer flask contains a water-ethanol mixture with a dissolved indicator (bromothymol blue I think). There was a little bit of acid at the bottom of the test tube, turning the indicator red. The added pellets are NaOH, turning the indictor blue and after a little bit of shaking and after everything dissolved, it causes the phase separation, as concentrated lye and ethanol do not mix. The indicator is mich more soluble in Ethanol than water (esoecially when it’s got a lot of NaOH in it), leaving the color in the top phase.

Yes, I can explain it all, since I am very good at chemistry, with multiple PhDs. See, what's happening here is that the color is changing.

[@gordon.sarratt]

Gonna be honest I’m a life science person I have absolutely no clue what’s going on.

[@memingsyco7438]

I know chemistry so I am saying , it's definitely a chemical reaction 😂😂

[@francish6695]

it’s a combination of pH indicators, equilibrium reactions and density differentials which cause the events in this video

My thoughts: Dumbledore broke into the place and magically infused everything for trolls

[@SuperBrainStorms]

I love it how you turned this video into a homework 😭

[@wholefoods4987]

I know exactly what’s happening here it’s quite simple actually

[@7shauryakhurana]

You're a chemist, harry 😂

[@MildTimes]

bro complimented the yellow fluid so much it blushed and turned red.

[@RubixCubed3]

As a not pro in chemistry, I can only deduce that chemicals are reacting with one another. It’s awesome and interesting regardless.

I think there is a Ph indicator. At first its yellow so it is neutral Ph (7) so it could be something like water. Then there probably was added some acid so Ph indicator turns to red (about 1 Ph). White powder could be baking powder or other alkaline powder. Their sum would be alkaline and about 10 Ph as you can see it turns blue. Colours are different for each Ph indicator so I aint sure how acidic or alkaline they are based on colors. Separation at the end I only could explain as there wouldve been 2 liquids, dense and less dense. Less dense, which rises over dense liquid is probably water, as water tends to dissolute lots of different powders and elements. I aint sure what the more dense liquid could be.

I believe that the yellow started a fight making it red, until it lost and then it turned blue but then the white mediated the blue until everyone was clear.
