How is a wave affected by a paper towel hanging in a water?
It depends on how many drops are put on the towel and how big the paper towel is. If it is full size, and you put one small drop on it, the towel would soak it up. The water would not fill up the whole paper towel, but just a bit. If it was a really big drop, it would probably soak through the paper towel and onto the surface the paper towel is laying on.
Is it possible for water to travel up hill?
Yes it is possible for water to travel up hill. This phenomenon is known as "capillary action" and it occurs when water molecules are attracted to a surface like a paper towel and the molecules stick together forming a sort of chain. This chain of water molecules then moves up the surface. Some examples of capillary action include: Water traveling up the stem of a plant Water climbing up the sides of a glass Water moving through tiny pores in soilCapillary action is an important factor in the water cycle allowing water to move from the ground and into the atmosphere. Capillary action also helps plants to absorb water from the soil.
Can a magnet pick up a paper clip when both are under water?
yes
Why should lines be drawn on the filter paper with a pencil not a pen?

When a wave passes a ship at sea how does the wave effect the ship?
the waves travel through water, but they do not carry the water with them. The ship moves up and down as the wave passes under it. The ship does not travel with the wave!
Why do pigments travel different distances up filter paper?
It depend on the density of the pigments.
Why did different dyes travel up the filter paper at different rates in paper chromatography?
different dyes travel with different speed/rates on filter paper in paper chromatography as they have nothing to do with the filter paper as it is the stationary medium while the rates depends upon the interaction between the solute i.e., dyes and the mobile phase i.e., the solvent.
Why is the filter paper rinsed with acetone after the rinsing with water?
to speed up the dryiness
What is the paper called when i doesn't soak up when you pour water on it and it lets the water slide through?
A coffee filter or similar. Wax paper.
Why do you use filter paper in chromatography?
the filter paper allows the chamber to become "saturated" with the solvent.
How are different pigments carried up filter paper?
Pigments are not carried up filter paper, dyes are. But they are carried up in solvents.
Why ethanol not suitable in Gas chromatography?
Its alcohol so it can purify the chemicals used in the experiment. Furthermore, it will travel up the filter paper better than water will. Ethanol is pure whereas water may have other things in it such as chlorine is in tap water
What is paper holder for coffee called?

How do you separate the water that is muddy with bacteria and oil?
1. Decantation and elimination of the oil. 2. Filtering of the muddy water throught fine sand. 3. Filtering after by another filter: textile, paper, ceramic, metallic. 4. Chlorination, fluorination or ozonization of this obtained water.
Why cant you use filter paper to separate solid from water?
Filter paper will still leave some water in the solid precipitate leftover, making mass measurements inaccurate unless adequate drying is given to the solid afterwards.
