What particle size will most likely settle to the bottom first as a velocity of the stream increases?

larger particles settle to the bottom first as the velocity of the stream increases. This is because larger particles have more inertia and are less affected by the drag force of the flowing water, allowing them to settle faster than smaller particles.


Will large particles cool water quicker than small particles?

If you have a handful of cold particles, and you want to toss them into a glassof water in order to cool it, then it'll happen faster if the particles are small.That way, there is more cold surface area in contact with the water toconduct heat out of it, and all of this is the main reason why the bartenderuses crushed ice in most drinks.


How can insoluble particles can be removed from a hot solution?

Boil the solution. it works for salt water. If the particles are insoluble, you don't need to boil anything... just filter the solution using filter paper. (Salt water is soluble -- it is dissolved, but an insoluble particle is a solid in the liquid).


Where is most of the sun's energy absorbed in water?

Most of the sun's energy is absorbed in the top few meters of water, where sunlight can penetrate. This energy is absorbed by water molecules and particles in the water, which then transfer heat to the surrounding water through conduction and convection.


In which state of matter are the particles close together but still able to flow?

Particles are closest together in most solids, though there is very little difference between the spacing in solids and liquids. Particles are very far apart in a gas. Water is not a state of matter. It is an individual substance, and can exist as solid, liquid or gas depending on the temperature and pressure. However it is rather unusual in that the particles in solid water (ice) are actually further apart than those in cold liquid water, which is why ice floats.

How can you separate soil particles from a jar of water?

You can allow the jar of water and soil particles to sit undisturbed until the particles settle at the bottom. Then, carefully pour out the water, being mindful not to disturb the settled particles. You can repeat this process of settling and pouring until most of the soil particles are removed.


Which sediment will allow water to pass through most easily?

sediments made of larger particles will have larger spaces between them, and thus allow greater fluid flow.

What sediment do you think will allow water to pass through most easily?

Coarse sediment, such as gravel or sand, will allow water to pass through most easily due to the larger pore spaces between the particles. Fine sediment, like clay or silt, has smaller particles that create tighter spaces and can restrict water flow.


What is flocculation?

Flocculation is one step in the water and wastewater treatment process. In a flocculation tank, the water is stirred or otherwise moved around so that the particles move around, bump into other particles, and stick to one another. Eventually the small and difficult to remove particles in the water form large clumps which can then be easily removed. Chemicals (most commonly "alum") are often added to the water going into a flocculation tank to help aid particle formation.


How do you relocate fish and fish tank?

That depends on how big the tank is. Small tanks that are easy to carry can have most of the water removed and then be picked up and relocated. Larger tanks will need to have the fish, water, plants, rocks etc removed and then be re landscaped after it has been relocated.


Which has the most energy particles in steam particles in liquid water particles in ice or particles in freezing water?

Steam has the most energy as its particles are in the gaseous state and move faster than particles in liquid water or ice, which are in the solid or liquid state respectively. Freezing water has a similar amount of energy as liquid water since they are at the same temperature.

Which particles have the most energy cold water or hot coffee?

Water, as it has smaller particles that are tightly bunched together. Coffee has very large particles, like alchohol.

Coarse sediment, such as sand and gravel, will allow water to pass through most easily due to the larger spaces between the particles. Fine sediment, like silt and clay, will have smaller pores and restrict water flow.


What type of soil will hold the most water clay or silt?

Clay soil will typically hold more water than silt soil due to its small particle size and high water retention capacity. Clay particles have a greater surface area and can attract and hold onto water molecules more effectively than the larger particles of silt.


Which is more permeable sand silt and clay?

Sand is the most permeable, followed by silt, and then clay. Sand particles are larger with larger pore spaces, allowing for water and gases to move more freely through the soil. Clay has smaller particles and smaller pore spaces, making it the least permeable.
