SILICA GEL IN WATER EXPERIMENT

What happens when you put silica gel in water? In this small experiment, we cut open a small bag of silica gel (found in a shoe box) and put it in a glass of hot water to see how it reacts to it.

Silica gel bags can be found in a shoe box or when unboxing electronics, for example, because it absorbs the moist from its surroundings.
