The most common reason is that the solids are absorbing water in sufficient volume to cause a notable change in volume, without dissolving or losing their appearance as solids.
Yes, it gets bigger and some of the color goes into the water.
yes it is bigger because more water falls down and less gets evaporated so stalactites are formed of less size and stalagmites are bigger, some stalactites are bigger.
When solids are added to water, they can dissolve, creating a solution. Alternatively, the solids may remain suspended in the water as a suspension if they are insoluble. In some cases, chemical reactions may occur between the solids and water, leading to the formation of new substances.
Not all solids dissolve in water. Solubility depends on the chemical structure of the solid and its interaction with water molecules. Solids like sugar and salt are considered soluble in water, while substances like sand and oil are insoluble.
The water would then be called a solvent
makes no sense
Water would be the solvent and the solid would be the solute.
Simplest experiment is to take this water solution having undissolved solids in a hundred ml graduated cylinder upto its mark(100ml). Allow to stand for about half an hour, then note the level of undissolved solids at the bottom of the cylinder. Read that level as percent of solids in the water by weight. To determine percentage of solids by weight: Find the weight of water+undissolved solids Filter water solution through a filter paper. Find the weight of filtered water. Find the weight of dried solids. Percentage of undissolved solids = wt of undissolved solids divided by total weight of water and solids multiplied by 100
Blue whales actually eat the small plankton floating around the water and some whales like the killer whale eats giants squids. Anyway the bigger the whale is the smaller prey it preys on while the smaller the whale is the bigger the food gets.
with some you can ex) water can turn into ice
Yes. Different solids have different solubilities in water. Some are very soluble and others are insoluble, and others are in between.
Yes it is and it gets bigger doing it. That is the reason some wooden stuff doesnt fit but did the other day, ike doors not closing properly.
