The sugar will dissolve in the warm water.


Will a temperature of a beaker of water increase or decrease when its mixed with salt?

This is the typr of experiment that is performed with a 'Slurry' of ice and water in the beaker, and not just room temperature water. Adding salt to a slurry will cause some of the ice to melt. When ice melts, the temperature of the solution will drop, and potentially below the freezing point of pure water.If the water and salt are at room temperature, the mixing will yield no significant changes in temperature.


What will happen if some drops of water-soluble dye were added to a water-oil mixture?

In a glass, usually the water is at the bottom and the oil on top, depends how you do it, but I did it once with the oil on top and the food colouring slowly went into the oil, depending on how thick the oil is on top, if it is thin, the drop of food colouring will drop through, if it is thick, it will take longer to go through or may not go through at all, so u would have to poke it through with something. Then it gets to the water and just spreads like it normally would in liquid. I made a lava lamp once. Adding water to a glass and a bit of oil on top. You add the food colouring and then add salt. It weights the oil down and then it rises back up. It so awesome. Hope that helps, if it does, please let me know onmy messageboard. Blondie94

What happens to airs ability to hold water when the temperature changes?

As air temperature drops, it is able to hold less water. If the air temperature continues to drop after the relative humidity reaches 100%, dew forms (or frost, if it's cold enough).


What happens to water when it is heated up to 100 degrees?

The water becomes 100 degrees and is warm to the touch.


What will you observe when a drop of ink is added to a beaker filled with water?

You should try it and see. Go to the kitchen, get a clear glass of water, and add a drop of food colouring to it. Or ink, if you have it. It's probably how quick the ink spreads through the water

Why does a drop of food colouring in a container of water start as a drop but eventually colour the entire water?

The droplet spreads out as it dissolves in the water. It occupies the same space as the water, turning it colours the water a lighter shade of the colour of the original droplet. This due to the droplet being diluted by the water when it is mixed into the water.
