Introduction

We all know about Ivory soaps, the ones that float. But have you ever wondered about the reasons behind it and how it floats? So, how about finding out the secret behind it and knowing the sensation behind it. All you need to do for creating this kind of a soap is cook it up in the microwave and you are done. The floaty soap is right in front of you.

You heard me, a bar of ivory soap and your microwave can do the wonders for you. Also, the added benefit is that your kitchen looks super clean and tidy after the whole process is done. The freshness could be smelled very nice.

Apparatus

For the experiment, the only requirement in

  1. Ivory Soap
  2. Microwave

Procedure

Step 1

The First segment of the experiment is conducted just to prove if the claim is completely true or not. It is to know if Ivory soaps really float or not. Take your bowl and fill it with an ivory soap.

Step 2

If we talk of bars of soap, maybe all of the soaps that we know so far floats. In case you have other soap lying around in your wardrobe, use the soaps to conduct the experiment. When you see the other soaps, they sink but what is so different with the Ivory soap bars. But why?

Step 3

Take the soap away from the water and break it down into the half. This is to check if the bar of ivory soap is hollow or is filled up. If that is true, that is exactly what makes the soap float, right?

Step 4

Take your wife to cut the ivory soap that you are using. Cut the ivory soap into equal pieces of four. Take the soap pieces and place it on the plate of the dinner. Now, put the plate in the microwave.

Step 5

Heat the bar of the soap too as high as 1 minute. Keep your eyes on the bar of the soap. This is so because the bar od the soap eventually starts to expand and turn into some beautiful clouds. Don’t overcook the soap as it can cause some trouble.
