　　　These are instructions for making invisible ink using baking soda.

　　　Difficulty: 　　　Easy 　　　Time required 　　　A few minutes 　　　What you need 　　　Baking soda Paper Water Light bulb Paintbrush

　　　Measuring cup Purple grape juice 　　　Here's how: 　　　There are at least two methods of using baking soda as invisible ink.

　　　Mix equal amounts of water and baking soda.

　　　Use a paintbrush to write a message onto white paper, using the baking soda solution (溶液) as "ink".

　　　Allow the ink to dry.

　　　One way to read the message is to hold the paper up to a heat source, such as a light bulb. The baking soda will cause the writing in the paper to turn brown.

　　　The second way to read the message is to paint over the paper with purple grape juice. The message will appear in a different color. 　　　Tips: 　　　If you are using the heating method, avoid igniting (点燃) the paper.

　　　Baking soda and grape juice react with each other in an acid-base (酸碱) reaction, producing a color change in the paper.

　　　Grape juice concentrate (浓缩物) results in a more visible color change than regular grape juice.
