What happens to the length of a spring when you add a mass to it?
Usually it gets bigger, if you wanted to do an experement, you would- Measure the spring, put it in water, take it out then measure it again and it would be bigger!
What happens if you add or remove energy to a glass of water?
if you add it will stay liquid but if you remove it will freeze
How much sea salt do I add to tap water to make a salt water solution that emulates sea water.?
Seawater has a salinity of arround 3.5 percent. 1 liter is 1000 cubic centimeters needs 35 gram of salt so get this solution.
How does salinity effect buoyancy?
Salinity increase the water density. Therefore the more salt you add to water, the greater its density becomes.The higher the density of the fluid, the greater the mass of the object that can float in it.Hence rise in salinity of a liquid will increase the buoyancy.
Is salt water more dense then cold water?
Yes, salt water has a greater density than fresh water. The ocean is about 2.5% denser than fresh water. This causes greater buoyancy of objects and a swimmer can notice this easily. Usually, when any solute is added to a solvent, the resultant solution increases in density, but there are exceptions to this rule. In the case of salt water, two things combine to cause the increase in density. First, a cubic centimeter of salt is about twice the mass of a cubic centimeter of water. Second, if you add a cubic centimeter of salt to a liter of water, the volume will increase by only about half a cubic centimeter. (This is because the dissolved sodium (Na+) and Chlorine (Cl-) atoms strongly interact with the polar water molecules causing rearrangement of water molecules near the ions which results in the nearby water atoms occupying a smaller volume.) If one is more precise about density, one needs to specify temperature. Cold salt water has a greater density than warm salt water; similarly for fresh water. Salt affects the temperature of water freezing and the density of water is peculiar near freezing anyway, so one needs to be careful when making general statements about water density and salt and temperature when the system is within a few degrees of freezing.
What happens when you add a tablespoon of salt to warm water then stir the water?
The salt dissolves in the water
What happens if you mix salt with water?
The freezing point of the water is lowered. ADD: You get a salt water solution.
What happens when you add acids to metal oxides?
You get a salt and water only.
What happens when you add a gram of salt to a glass of salturated salt water?
If the temperature remain constant - nothing.
What happens when you add sodium chloride to water?
sodium chloride (or salt) solution is formed
What happens if you add a base an acid?
If you add the same quantity of an acid and a base it will become neutral.i.e forms salt and water
What is happening when you add salt to water?
Depending on how much salt you add to the water and how warm the water is... the salt will disolve
Why when the mass of the salt water is not the same amount as the water add salt?
Yes, always for all mixtures.Interestingly, the volume of the solution may not equal the volume of the two things before being mixed -- even for mixing two liquids.
What happens when a hydrate heated?
When a hydrate is heated, the water, h20 is evaporated, leaving only the anhydrous salt. If you add water to a anhydrous salt, it will transition back into a hydrate.
What are the steps for salt water?
Add salt to water to obtain salt water.
What happens when you add silver nitrate to distilled water and to salt solution?
Silver nitrate will dissolve in distilled water. When added to a salt solution silver chloride will fall out of solution.
When do you add salt to water when boiling potatoes?
Add the salt to the water before you add the potatoes. If you are boiling potatoes with the intention of mashing them, don't add salt at all.
