Aerogel is a manufactured material with the lowest known density of any solid. It is derived from a gel in which the liquid component of the gel has been replaced with a gas. The result is an extremely low-density solid with several remarkable properties, most notably its effectiveness as a thermal insulator and its extremely low density. It is nicknamed frozen smoke, solid smoke or blue smoke due to its translucent nature and the way light scatters in the material; however, it feels like expanded polystyrene (styrofoam) to the touch.
Aerogels are produced by extracting the liquid component of a gel through supercritical drying. This allows the liquid to be slowly drawn off without causing the solid matrix in the gel to collapse from capillary action, as would happen with conventional evaporation. The first aerogels were produced from silica gels. Kistler's later work involved aerogels based on alumina, chromia and tin oxide. Carbon aerogels were first developed in the late 1980s.

∙ 14y agonope, not yet maybe in the future if more subjects from the periodical map will be released to the public... till then you can just work with liquids tha come from pressurised gases...

Solid material is added to a beaker of clear colorless liquid what is the chemical reaction?
POSSIBLE ACTIONS:- the solid is dissolved or- the solid is insoluble or- the solid react with the solution
What are the general classes of colloids?
General classes of colloids are: gas in liquid, gas in solid, liquid in gas, liquid in liquid, liquid in solid, solid in gas, solid in liquid, solid in solid.
Why can you pour liquids but not solid?
Because a solid has a fixed shape while a liquid has no fixed shape. However, it is possible to pour dry sand and that IS a solid. Can you think of why that is
Are pebbles a solid liquid or gas?
Pebbles are solid.
When does phase changes occur?
When a solid melts or changes to a liquid. When a liquid boils or changes to a gas. or the reverse when a gas condenses to a liquid or a liquid freezes to a solid. Also it is possible for a solid to go directly to a gas without passing through the liquid stage. This is called sublimation and can occur with sulfur when heated, or ice in the winter when the sun shines on it..
Can pressure alone change something from a solid to a liquid?
in low pressure environments it is possible for a solid to change to a liquid
Create an object that is both liquid and solid?
Glass is considered a super cooled liquid.
When the molecules in a body move with increased speed its possible that the body will change from agas to a liquid gas to a solid liquid to a solid liquid to a gas?
Liquid to gas
Does liquid and solid create salt water?
No.You specifically need liquid water and solid sodium chloride to get salt water.
Does a prism have to be solid in order to create a rainbow?
No. It can also be a liquid.
Is it possible for a solid to turn into a gas then into a liquid?
Yes
Is mercury lighter than air?
as a liquid and solid it is not - as a gas I suspect not although I'm not sure
When the molecules in a body move with increased speed its possible that the body will change from a A gas to a liquid B gas to a solid C liquid to a solid D liquid to a gas?
Only one phase change of the four is possible, that of a liquid to a gas. Increased molecular energy is related to dissociative phase changes : solid to liquid / liquid to gas.
Why is it easier to lift the body in liquid then in solid?
i think it's because liquids have less density than solids, and the body is lighter in liquid.
What are some descriptive words that describe a solution?
Liquid, Gaseous, and Solid. Solid solutions create alloys.
When the molecules in a body move with increased speed it's possible that the body will change from a A. liquid to a gas. B. gas to a liquid. C. gas to a solid. D. liquid to a solid.?
Only one phase change of the four is possible, that of a liquid to a gas. Increased molecular energy is related to dissociative phase changes : solid to liquid / liquid to gas.
When the molecules in a body move with increased speed it's possible that the body will change from a a gas to a liquid b liquid to a solid c liquid to a gas d gas to a solid?
