Course

Explain – How the Secret message appears

How Does It Work?

  • Most invisible ink messages can be revealed by heating either side of the paper on which they’re written.
  • When you wrote your message using lemon juice, carbon-based compounds in the juice were absorbed into the paper’s fibers.
  • Also, since lemon juice ink is a weak acid, it softened the fibers in the paper.
    The added heat caused some of the chemical bonds to break down in the dried juice and some carbon was cut loose.
  • When the carbon came into contact with air, it burned or oxidized.
    One effect of oxidation is things turn a darker color. The message discolors before the rest of the paper gets hot enough to do so.
  • Some oxidation doesn’t need heat to occur; it just needs a little air.
    Think of a piece of apple, banana, or pear left out on a plate for a while.

Lemon juice – like most fruit juice – contains carbon compounds.
These compounds are mostly colorless at room temperature.
Heat breaks down these compounds and releases carbon.
When carbon comes in contact with air (specifically oxygen), oxidation occurs and the substance turns light or dark brown.
If it oxidizes long enough, it can go all the way to black.
