because water is a liquid and liquids are easy to pour most of the time and that is what a beaker is for.

What happens to thermal energy in a beaker when it is cooled down?

When a beaker is cooled down, thermal energy is transferred from the beaker to the surroundings. The molecules in the beaker lose kinetic energy, which causes the temperature of the beaker to decrease. This transfer of thermal energy continues until the beaker reaches thermal equilibrium with its surroundings.


What happens to the flame of the candle after it was covered by the beaker?

When a candle flame is covered by a beaker, it consumes the available oxygen inside the beaker until it is exhausted. Once the oxygen is depleted, the flame will go out due to the lack of oxygen needed for combustion.


What happens when warm water is poured into a beaker of ice cubes?

The warm water will melt the ice cubes, causing them to turn into liquid water. The temperature of the water in the beaker will gradually decrease as the heat from the warm water is transferred to the ice, until eventually the ice cubes are fully melted and the water reaches thermal equilibrium.


What happens to the water in the beaker during melting?

During melting, the water in the beaker absorbs heat and undergoes a phase change from solid (ice) to liquid. As it melts, the temperature remains constant until all the ice has transformed into water.


Why do candles go out when you put a beaker over it?

As we know that for an object or substance to burn, its by means of carbon. Fire is very complex and needs oxygen for it to burn so by putting a beaker over a candle you are actually cutting the consumption of oxygen by fire, which will stop the fire from burning. THAT ANSWER IS FALSE. Because the candle is under a beaker and most beakers have lips the beaker is not fully cut off from oxygen so there is still oxygen. The candle does go out because of the carbon dioxide that is in the beaker

How do you get 9 liters from a 10 and 7 liter beaker?

Fill the 7 beaker and pore contents into 10 beaker. Mark where the contents come up to on the 10 beaker. Fill the 10 beaker up and pour off the top of it into the 7 beaker until you are down to the mark. You will now have 3 litres in the 7 beaker. Mark where it comes up to. Empty the 10 beaker. Pour the 3 litres in the 7 litre beaker into the 10 litre beaker. Fill the 7 litre beaker up to the 3 litre mark and pore it into the 10 twice more. You now have 3*3=9 litres in the 10 litre beaker. QED.


If a beaker contains glucose and is permeable to glucose what will happen to the glucose?

If a beaker containing glucose is permeable to glucose, then the glucose will go through the beaker.


What happens when you fill a beaker of soil with water until the beaker is almost full?

As you fill the beaker with water, the soil will absorb the water until it reaches its maximum capacity, at which point excess water will either overflow or saturate the soil. This process can provide information on the soil's water retention capacity and help determine its porosity and permeability.


When Predict how heat would flow if beaker a is moved so that it is touching beaker b?

Heat would flow from beaker A to beaker B, moving in the direction of higher temperature to lower temperature. The heat transfer would continue until both beakers reached thermal equilibrium, with their temperatures equalizing.

Are leeches will die after sprayed by disinfectant?

No. Leaches are a disgusting animal that don't die until salt is poured on them.


WherE is the stink bomb in big nate island poptrapica?

Well, actually, you have to make the stink bomb. You go to the science lab and to the beaker with the test tubes nest to it. You click on the beaker and it will show up with three colors of liquid. you but the boiler that is underneath the beaker to 4, and add the colored liquids to the beaker. What you want to do is create a grayish green color with all of the colors mixed. Fill up the beaker with the colors, though, otherwise it won't work. So, you fill up the beaker with the colors until it is full and it has a grayish green color to it.


A student dissolves 10 grams of salt in a beaker with 1 liter of water how can the student get the salt back?

The student can retrieve the salt by evaporating the water. They can do this by heating the solution in the beaker until all the water evaporates, leaving behind the salt. The salt can then be scraped or collected from the bottom of the beaker.

How is molten metal poured into molds to create various shapes and products?

Molten metal is poured into molds through a process called casting. The metal is heated until it becomes liquid, then it is carefully poured into the mold. Once the metal cools and solidifies, the mold is removed to reveal the desired shape or product.
