How does a percolator produce coffee?

It doesn't, coffee is grown. The way a percolator works is by the change in the density of water when it is heated. Water is placed in the percolator then the riser tube is placed in and the filter cup with ground coffee in it is placed on the top of the tube, ABOVE the top surface of the water. The water is heated at the bottom of the pot, this hot water rises and is directed up the tube, cold water replaces it at the bottom of the pot, this cold water as the density is much higher forces the hot water up the tube where it overflows into the filter basket and percolates back down through the coffee grounds, then back to the pot to be cycled through again. The percolation slows down as the temperatures in the pot equalize, or the water level is lowered.


What is the difference between percolation and absorption?

percolation rate (mL/min) = amount of water (mL)/percolation time (min) For example, suppose that for a certain sample, it took 20 minutes for 200 mL to percolate. So, rate of percolation =200 ml/20 min=10 ml/min. Weight of soil = 50g Initial volume of water in the measuring cylinder = U mL Final volume of water in the measuring cylinder = V mL Volume of water absorbed by the soil = (U Weight of water absorbed by the soil = (U (1 mL of water has weight equal to 1 g) percentage of water absorbed=(U-V)*100/50


Why do countries need zinc?

Sulphur is an important industrial substance. It is used to make sulphuric acid, a very important industrial liquid. Sulphur has many allotropes, and more may be constructed. It is mined from deposits alongside hot springs, and today much is obtained as a by-product of the oil industry. Its main use is probably in the production of fertilizers, but it has very broad application.
