The Science Behind This Particular Vinegar Volcano
The food coloring is added in order to create a unique coloring for the volcano lava. You can always use brown coloring but you can even try experimenting with different colors.
The bicarbonate of soda and vinegar mix together to form carbondioxide gas. This is what makes the mixture foam and expand out from the bottle.
