    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.

    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.
    Edit: I think dense liquid could be ethanol, because
    1. It is more dense than water.
    2. It dissolutes to water so that would explain why we didnt see it at start, but we saw it after he shaked the tube.

    So I have a couple hypotheses, there's a lot of pH changes and pH dyes. Assuming the first liquid is NaOH it makes the solution alkaline and changes color. Then you add the acid turning it a different color. But the acid reacts with an organic molecule in solution to create a oil which separates out into the lower phase. What exactly these compounds are I have no idea just looking at it. Or, the white pellets are sodium hydroxide and it's a simple basis hydrolization reaction to get the second phase.
    Upon watching the video it wad actually the opposite, at first it was neutral, then acidified from drops of acid in the tube, then you added a lot of basic salt changing the pH to be alkaline. Then because if the salt the solution separates into an organic and inorganic layer. No chemical reaction occurs besides the acid base reactions. Also, I would highly recommend looking up "Quechers" technique it works based on the same principle.

    I think may be :
    The test tube wasnt properly washed after being filled with indicator so when acid (orange) was added it turned red. Then white solid (base) was added which makes it basic, for a while until mixed it gives water and salt.

    1.The orange yellow solution labelled naoh(should be diluted)was added methyl orange as an indicator
    As it’s alkaline > appears yellow
    2.I guess it’s strong acid, so after neutralisation with NaOH it will still be an acidic solution, which appears red in methyl orange as an indicator
    Idk I am just guessing
    But thanks so much for this video, I am a student in HongKong and I studied chem and other science related subjects just because my parents think it would lead me to a better future(which is a stereotype in HongKong)

    My guess would be that there is a pH-indicator in the first solution, and only a little bit of a strong acid in the test tube. The pH-indicator changes color because of the pH-decrease. Then the powder added is some kind of solid base. Maybe a hydroxide or carbonate salt. Upon dissolving the pH of the solution increases turning the pH-indicator blue. The tricky part is the separation at the end. For this to occur, there have to be two liquids in the test tube at that point. The only way I can imagine this works is, by having a mixture of water and a somewhat water mixable organic solvent in the first flask. When the basic salt is dissolved it will interact more with the water than the organic solvent, meaning it will dissolve "only into the water". What that does is, it increases the density of the water making it sink to the bottom of the tube, forming the two layers we can see at the end. The pH-indicator in this case is itself an organic molecule, meaning it will (at least in this case) prefer to remain in the more organic solution, leaving the clear heavily "salted" water at the bottom and a dark blue organic layer at the top.
    But that's just an educated guess.

    There's definitely an acid/base indicator in the erlenmeyer flask. Probably methyl red or blue. It's poured into a test tube and then changes color, which would make me think there was some trace of acid in the test tube, but it's hard to tell, but when the solid goes into the tube the pH changes, I think the solid is most likely NaOH, but after the reaction the solution separates into 2 layers, the indicator in the upper layer which is most likely aqueous, meaning the bottom layer is a non polar solvent that is denser than water. My guess is Carbon tetrachloride. I've seen extractions of non polar solids like iodine moving from one layer to the next based on preferential solubility, but never before with an indicator

    I think you have sodium hydroxide in the Erlenmeyer flask and there is ph indicator in the test tube and some sort of copper salt in the cylinder (copper chloride?). When the copper salt is added to the naoh solution, the copper is oxidized to its 2 form in solution and a sodium chloride solution is made as a by product which the copper2 solution is insoluble with it which is the reason for the separation. That's my guess.
    Edit: I just saw the experiment in the other video. I was off with the substances but somewhat correct with the process. Thanks for the videos!

    The yellow fluid is an aqueous solution of a pH indicator and a water-soluble salt of a hydrophobic organic liquid. The tube contains a small amount of acid or base, changing the color of the indicator to red, and the solid is a large amount of base or acid (the other one from what was in the tube) which turns the indicator blue and liberates the organic liquid from the salt.
    For example, I think the physical states would work with a pinch of citric acid in the tube, sodium hydroxide in the beaker, and amphetamine hydrochloride in the fluid, though there's no way in hell you'd be working with that much amphetamine hydrochloride.
    The physical states would also work with a bit of sodium hydroxide in the tube, sodium hexanoate in the solution, and citric acid in the beaker.
    EDIT: Oh, I see, you used salting-out instead of an acid-base neutralization reaction to cause the layer separation. Yeah, that works too.

About the salt, he maybe couldve added some type of "Sodium carbonate"? to the mixture. Thats the way i think he produced the final blue, salt and water solution, by using basic principles of neutralization reaction and adding indicators. Thats just my guess, I can be really really wrong hahaha

    I don't really know much about chemistry unfortunately, but I think the colors separated due to a phase change. Soap making causes a similar reaction to happen in order for saponification to like, actually happen- with the right temperatures and the right oils and stabilizers to enter Gel Phase, where it'll start to go from a liquid to a solid. Different fragrance oils can also affect how quickly the soap sets up, and mixing it up a certain amount can add in air and change the speed of the reaction, called Trace. That's sadly the extend of what I know that could be extrapolated here.

    The biphasic separation is likely a result of either an acid or a base changing one of the two components back into the uncharged state so that it is no longer soluble in water and therefore separates. Essentially you're changing a molecule from being extremely polar to nonpolar and when it is polar it is dissolved in the water but when it becomes nonpolar it separates out of the water like oil on water
