How many drops of soapy water fit in a penny?

Ideally, everyone performing the experiment would include the following: - distilled waterThere are a lot of factors involved. The cohesion and adhesion ('stickiness') of water molecules can be effected by things like oils (on surface pennies from peoples' skin) and other contaminates on the penny. The size of the dropper or pipette will determine the size of each water droplet - the larger the drop, the fewer number of drops will fit on the penny. The manner in which the water is added to the penny is also a factor. Water has a cohesive nature (the molecules are kind of like magnets and are attracted to one another). Therefore, if the drop from the pipette is allowed to touch the water already on the surface of the penny, the water can be 'pulled' out of the dropper. When this happens, the size (volume) of the drop is not always the same - it could be a very small amount (which will result in a very large number of drops), or a large amount. Soap causes the cohesiveness ('stickiness') of the water molecules to decrease so they are not as strongly attracted to each other. Because of this, when soap is added to the water the number of drops that can be placed on the penny will decrease. The water molecules can't 'stick' together as well, so the water on top of the penny spills off sooner than it would with non-soapy water. Ideally, everyone performing the experiment would include the following: - distilled water (to start with) - same type/size of calibrated dropper/pipette - same date of penny - penny cleaned as thoroughly as possible using same cleaning procedure - same 'dropping' procedure

Does sugar dissolve quicker in salt water or soapy water?

Sugar would dissolve faster in soapy water. Sugar dissolving is actually the sugar molecules bonding with the water molecules. In salt water, sodium has already bonded with the water molecules, leaving no room for more bonding with sugar molecules. Soap, on the other hand, is a very mild base. It isn't so much a bonded element with water as it is a mixture. All of the water molecules are still available for bonding with sugar.


What water takes the longest to evaporate dirty water soapy water or regular water?

The answer would depend on the ability of the water molecules to escape into the surrounding atmosphere. So what would help them escape? Dirty water would warm up in the sun faster, so you'd have a higher temperature and faster evaporation. The soapy water would bring oil to the surface and hinder the escape of the water molecules. So the order of which takes the longest would be: 1) soapy water, 2)regular water, 3)dirty water.
