Density Tower A density tower is made by stacking several liquids in one container according to differences in density (mass per unit volume). Liquids with higher density sink to the bottom, while liquids with lower density … more
Lower the temperature to precipitate some of the substances as a solid, then filter them through filter paper. Recrystallization Recrystallization is a method of separating and purifying a substance by using the property that the amount … more
Distillation Distillation is a common method used to separate liquid mixtures based on differences in their boiling points. When a liquid mixture is heated, the component with the lower boiling point vaporizes first. The vapor is … more
Solubility When salt dissolves in water, a clear solution is formed. This is because the solute, salt, breaks down into particles so small that they are invisible to the naked eye and mixes evenly with the … more
Characteristics of Gases Unlike solids and liquids, gases have the following unique characteristics: 1. They have no definite shape or volume Gas particles move in all directions and can fill any part of a container. Therefore, … more
What would happen if you brought a mercury barometer to Earth, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars? Here, we assume that the mercury barometer has a U-shaped tube: one side is open, and the other side … more
Observe how the density distribution of the atmosphere changes as gravity (gravitational acceleration) is varied. The total kinetic energy of the air particles is assumed to be constant. Gravity is assumed to act uniformly, and no … more
Heat engine A heat engine is a machine that operates by moving energy from a hot space to a cold space. In this process, the heat engine converts some of the heat energy into mechanical energy. … more
Torricelli’s Experiment The first person to measure the magnitude of air pressure is Italian scientist Torricelli. He was filled with mercury (Hg) in a glass tube with one end blocked. And he stood upside down in … more
Boyle’s J-tube experiment Boyle’s J-tube experiment is an experiment that Boyle did to prove his law. Boyle experimented with pouring mercury into a J-shaped glass tube with one side blocked. At first, the heights of mercury … more
Assume the pressure inside and outside the balloon is equal at 1 atmosphere. For ease of calculation, the volume and mass of the balloon and string are assumed to be zero. Pressure on a Balloon In … more
Drinks in a straw aren’t pulled, they’re pushed. When we say ‘straw,’ most people picture liquid being sucked upward. But scientifically, that’s not what happens. The liquid doesn’t rise because of suction; it rises because the … more
