This is called diffusion. If you just leave the ink in the beaker for a while, it will eventually spread out around the beaker and all of the water will have color.

For example:

This is just like a restaurant, there is non-smoking half of the restaurant and there is a smoking half. The smoke will eventually spread out front he smoking corner to the non-smoking corner.

Another example:

If you pee in the pool, the pee will eventually spread out through the pool.

What motion is the net movement of particles of a substance from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration?

This is diffusion. No energy required, molecules do this just based on random molecular motion. Example: a drop of ink dropped into a beaker of water will "diffuse" until it is as spread out as possible.


What happens when you prepare a smear from a agar plate or slant without first placing water on slide?

If you prepare a smear from an agar plate or slant without first placing water on the slide, the cells may not adhere well to the slide, leading to uneven distribution and difficulty in visualization. Adding a drop of water before preparing the smear helps the cells adhere to the slide and spread evenly for better microscopic examination.


Test for starch in a leave by photosynthesis?

Test for Starch 1. Heat some water to boiling point in a beaker then turn out the Bunsen flame. 2. Use forceps to dip a leaf in the hot water for about 30 seconds. This kills the cytoplasm, dentures the enzymes and makes the leaf more permeable to iodine solution. 3. Push the leaf to the bottom of a test tube and cover it with alcohol (ethanol). Place the tube in the hot water. The alcohol will boil and dissolve out most of the chlorophyll. This makes colour changes with iodine easier to see. 4. Pour the green alcohol into a spare beaker, remove the leaf and dip it once into the hot water to soften it. 5. Spread the decolourized leaf flat on a white tile and drop iodine solution onto it. The parts containing starch will turn blue; parts without starch will stain brown or yellow with iodine


How does diffusion occur most rapidly- with or against the concentration gradient?

Diffusion only occurs down a concentration gradient. Put a drop of food coloring in a glass of water - you will never see the food coloring spontaneously concentrate. It will always spread down the gradient.


What is a drop slip?

A drop slip is a form used by students in college to officially withdraw from a class after the add/drop period has ended. It is used to remove the class from the student's schedule without receiving a failing grade.

Why is the ink drop spread into the beaker of water?

The molecules in the drop of ink will diffuse through the entire beaker of water. This will result in a homogeneous solution because of diffusion. This will only happen if the ink is of similar density to water.


Why a drop ink can spread in a beaker without stirring?

It involves Brownian motion whereby the molecules in the ink mix or diffuse into the surrounding liquid over time (faster or slower depending on temperature). All molecules are jiggling around in a random fashion and the Brownian motion of a particle in a liquid is thus due to the instantaneous imbalance in the combined forces exerted by collisions of the particle with the much smaller liquid molecules (which are in random thermal motion) surrounding it.


Why a drop of dettol is evenly distributed in a bucket of water without the need of steering?

A drop of Dettol disperses evenly in a bucket of water due to the process of diffusion, where molecules move from an area of higher concentration (the drop) to areas of lower concentration (the surrounding water). The molecular structure of Dettol, which contains surfactants, allows it to interact with water molecules and spread out. Additionally, the natural motion of water molecules contributes to the mixing without the need for stirring.


What happens to the thermal energy in a beaker as it cools down?

As the beaker cools down, the thermal energy within it decreases. This results in a transfer of heat from the beaker to its surroundings, causing the temperature of the beaker to drop.

What piece of lab equipment would you use to determine the volume of an irregularly shaped object?

A beaker. Simply fill the beaker with a known quantity of liquid. Drop the object into the beaker, and measure the difference in the fluid levels.


What is there a different level between pipette and beaker?

When collects on the outside of the beaker is a formation of water drops where did it come from?

This happens when the contents of the beaker are colder than the surrounding air. This causes water vapor in the warmer air to drop below its dew point and condense onto the outside of the beaker.


If you put a drop of colored liquid into a glass of cold water and left it to stand without stirring what would happen to the color?

The colored liquid would likely diffuse slowly into the cold water, resulting in the color spreading throughout the water over time. The rate of diffusion may be influenced by factors such as temperature and concentration gradients.


What is the use of magnetic stirrers?

A magnetic stirrer is helpful for dissolving solids in liquids. As there are several different appearances, all of them will at least have a base with a speed-controlled spinning magnet inside and an exterior stirring bar. You place the stirring bar into a flask or beaker by tenderly sliding it beside the wall of the container. To avert fracture, don't drop the bar onto the bottom of the container. Place the container on the stirrer base and turn the speed control knob to its lowest set. Use enough speed to start the bar turning in the container. If using exact volumes, as with a volumetric flask, be sure take the measurements before adding the stirring bar.When stirring is finished, keep the stirring bar in the container by draft the liquid into another container. Carefully wash the original container and the stirring bar.
