the liquid that floats has lesser density as compared to the other liquid and also it might be floating because it cannot be dissolved in the other liquid

How do you transfer liquids from other container to another container?

Make or buy a funnel and transfer liquid.


What is the arrangement and movement of liquid?

Liquids are fluids so they flow, and they are able to move around and over each other. Liquids have a definite volume but no definite shape and they will find their own level within a container.


does juice have a definite shape and volume?

Liquids. ... In a liquid, the particles are still in close contact, so liquids have a definite volume. However, because the particles can move about each other rather freely, a liquid has no definite shape and takes a shape dictated by its container.


Explain why the particles of a liquid are able to pour into a container and then take on the shape of the container?

The particles of a liquid are not chemically bound to the other particles (the particles are generally molecules) around them. They do have some attraction for the other particles, which is why they are a liquid rather than a gas, however, the attraction applies equally to all the particles in the liquid, rather than being a specific attachment to neighboring particles. Consequently the particles move independently of each other, which makes liquids shapeless and able to be poured and to take the shape of a container.


Is ga a liquid?

No, a gas is not a liquid. A gas and a liquid are each a different state of matter. Each is considered to be a fluid, but they are not the same. A liquid, as you probably know, takes the shape of its container. A gas will not stay in an open container but will diffuse into the air around it.Gas to liquids. Gas to liquids (GTL) is a refinery process to convert natural gas or other gaseous hydrocarbons into longer-chain hydrocarbons such as gasoline or diesel fuel.

How do liquids take shape of the container they are poured into?

The different layers are formed because the two liquids are not compatible, or do not mix well. The order of the layers is always from the densest liquid on the bottom to the least dense liquid on top. For example, oil and water, water is denser so it sinks to the bottom and the oil floats. Liquids may form layers whether or not they are of equal volume.


What are the benefits of immersion heaters?

Immersion heaters allow you to heat liquids directly. This is more efficient than heating the object that holds the liquid, because the heat must heat the container, then the container must heat the liquid. Other heaters cannot do this because they cannot be submerged into liquids.


Do liquids always fill their container?

Gravity. The gravitational pull of the Earth will exert a force on anything with a mass and pull it towards the centre of the Earth. As we're essentially standing on the surface of a sphere, the centre of the Earth is pretty much straight down and gravity will pull liquids to the bottom of any container.

What State Of Matter Takes The Shape Of It's Container?

Gas is one of the four fundamental states of matter (with solid, liquid and plasma being the other states). It has the distinction of taking both the shape and the volume of the container that it is in. If you want to include plasma, that too will expand - acting like a gas. So will supercritical fluids which might be considered gases by some definitions, but not by others..


How are fluids different then just liquids?

Fluid is basically defined as a substance that can flow. This includes liquids and gases both. A liquid on the other hand can flow and take the shape of a container.Unlike a gas, a liquid does not disperse to fill every space of a container, and maintains a fairly constant density.The surface tension of the liquid causes wetting.

What liquid floats over any other liquid?

The liquid with a lower density float over the liquid with a highrer density.


Why do liquids always need to be kept in a container?

They can't hold their shape on their own, so without a container they will flow all over the place.


When you pour two liquids and one floats to the top what is it called?

one of them is denser than the other.
