Ammonia Fountain
A rubber bulb is filled with water and placed onto a glass tube that extends into a flask of ammonia gas. Ammonia gas is extremely soluble in water. When the bulb is squeezed, the flask fills with liquid that turns pink, indicating a basic solution of ammonia. As the ammonia dissolved, the internal pressure was reduced, and atmospheric pressure forced water up from the bottom container.
