Why do you rotate a container of free-running solid while transferring the solid?

By rotating the container of a free-running solid, the solid will "free run" and tumble while it is being poured out (transferred). This makes the transfer more easily accomplished. Many divided solids (sand or salt, for example) can become "sticky" or clump together due to moisture or other factors, and rotating a container while dumping them makes them "run out" more efficiently and smoothly.

What is decanting?
'''''Decantation''''' is a fast method for separating a mixture of a liquid and a heavier solid. In this process , first the solid impurities are allowed to sediment at the bottom of the container. Then, the pure liquid is poured out carefully from the container into another container. The precipitate or solid is left behind at the bottom of the container.
Is paste a solid?
paste is a solid because it does not spread to fill the bottom of the container.
Does not change shape when place in different container?
solid
What is the difference between the behavior of a solid and a gas in a sealed container?
The gas expand to fill the volume of the container.
What 2 characteristics are needed for a substance to be a solid?
A solid has a definite shape and volume A liquid has the shape of the container and a definite volume A gas has the shape and volume of the container so the two characteristics for the substance to be solid are: a definite shape a definite volume
Why you use clean paper in transferring solid chemical in a small mouthed container like test tube?
You could also use a funnel to get the chemical into the small mouthed container, but in most cases it's easier to use paper.
Does a solid fill a container it is in?
well, it depends on the size of the solid and container.
What is the importance of using the paper trough in transferring solid substances?
A paper is used in transferring solid substances so that we can filter the liquid substances.
Why a solid does not fill the container completely?
possibly because the liquid didnt have enough volume to fill the container also because logicaly we dont really fill a container to the rim instead we get a container that is a little bigger.............just the way the human body works
Does a solid need a container to keep its shape?
liquid take shape of the container because the liquid particles stay together but they still more around. solid does not take the shape of the container, because solid is solid. The molecules cannot form the of the container because the molecules a very near each other.Only liquid can take the shape of the container. Thank you.
What happens to gas when it is in a solid container at now temperature?
the gas condenses to become liquid in the solid container
Is a solid like a container?
Yes. More specifically, hail is a solid form of precipitation and is generally either balls or irregular lumps of ice.
How can you determine the volume of a regularly shaped solid?
Put solid in a container ; fill container with water to a known container volume; take object out of container and read the remaining volume. subtract this remaining volumefrom the known volume. This result is the volume of the regular or irregular shaped solid.
Does a solid take up a different amount of space when it is put into a different container?
No. A solid has a definite volume no matter what container it is placed in.

What takes a shape of the container solid liquid or gas?
A gas and a liquid will both take the shape of their container. However only a gas will take on the volume of its container as well.
