The gravel and sand filter out smaller particles from the water
No, the gravel sinks when placed in water and is therfore more dense than water. This means that given two equivalent volumes one of water , one of gravel, the mass of the gravel will be greater than that of the water.
You can use a coffee filter in first than put your water in than the gravel and that is how you separate gravel and water...:) or you can get a screen like a drainer and pour all of your gravel and water in that.....:)
The formula for water is H2O. Gravel can be any form of stone or rock so the formula for that would vary.
The gravel will float and the wax beads will sink
No, it does not.
The Gravel will absorb the water until it can absorb anymore.
The amount of time that gravel can retain water will vary depending on its state. Fine gravel will holder water for long as opposed to coarse gravel.
Gravel is practically insoluble in water.
The bearing capacity of gravel depends on it's level of compaction and also on the presence of pore water.*However the following presumed values for bearing capacity have been quoted in text books:A,+Compact gravel and compacted sandy gravel - 600 kPaMedium dense gravel and sandy gravel - 200-600 kPaLoose gravel and sandy loose gravel - 200 kPa.*NB These presumed bearing capacities are for footings with a width (B) greater than 1m and where the depth to the phreatic surface is greater than B below the base of the footing.+ There are a number of empirical formulations used in geotechnical engineering to calculate bearing capacity of footings on soils however they cannot be reproduced effectively here.A Cobb, F.

Yes because you can still see the gravel inside the water

The water in the gravel increases the weight.
1. Put the mixture of gravel and salt in water. 2. Salt is water soluble, gravel not. 3. Filter: the salt is in the solution.
Gravel does not absorb water as much as soil. Gravel has larger pore spaces and lacks the fine particles that help retain water, so water tends to flow through gravel more easily. Soil, on the other hand, has small pores that can hold and retain water.
