You should never point the open end of the test tube when heating liquids toward yourself or others for your own safety. Liquids inside the test tube when heating may release some gases and might affect someone when you point the open end of the test tube to them. when heating the test tubes, position it diagonally and move it slowly sidewards so we can prevent cracking or breaking of the test tubes if directly positioned on fire.

What will happen to the powdered sulfur when heat was applied?

When heat is applied to powdered sulfur, it will melt and eventually vaporize. This process is called sublimation, where a solid substance bypasses the liquid phase and turns directly into a gas.


Where in a liquid does boiling happen?

Boiling in a liquid occurs throughout the entire volume of the liquid, as the heat energy applied causes the liquid to reach its boiling point temperature, at which the liquid's vapor pressure equals the external pressure. This results in bubbles of vapor forming within the liquid and rising to the surface.

What happen when heat is applied to an airtight vaporizer?

When heat is applied to an airtight vaporizer, it causes the substance inside (such as liquid or dry herbs) to reach its boiling point and vaporize into a gas without combustion. This vapor can then be inhaled for the desired effects without the harmful byproducts associated with smoking.


Why was it important not to let the thermometer rest on the bottom of the breaker?

It is important not to let the thermometer rest on the bottom of the beaker because the bottom can be heated unevenly leading to inaccurate temperature readings. Placing the thermometer in the liquid away from the bottom ensures a more accurate measurement of the liquid's temperature.

Why doesn't ketchup come out of the bottle when you tap on it?

Because it is a non-newtonian liquid and that means when force is applied it turns from a solid to a liquid or vice versa. In this situation it goes from solid to liquid. So you only turn the bottom to liquid. Tap on the neck. Some should come out.

The pressure at the bottom of a barrel filled with liquid does NOT depend on the?

The pressure at the bottom of a barrel filled with liquid does not depend on the shape or size of the barrel. It depends only on the depth of the liquid and the density of the liquid.


What would happen if you have 2 liquids with different densities in the same container?

The liquid with higher density will settle at the bottom, while the one with lower density will float on top due to the principle of buoyancy. The liquids will not mix and will form distinct layers based on their densities.
