Why does the water freeze when a beaker of ether is placed over the water?

Because ether is much more volatile than water and evaporates extremely quickly. As ether evaporates very quickly its average kinetic energy is lowered as molecules of ether escape. Following on, the 2nd law of Thermodynamics (I think) states that thermal energy is lost to cooler things so the water cools down extremely quickly as it looses heat to the evaporating ether which is also loosing heat in evaporation. Once the water reaches 0 degrees C it freezes.

What might happen to a heated beaker made from glass that does not contain boron if the beaker were placed in a pan of iced water?
The beaker has a high chance of shattering.
Water and ether are placed on the palms of both the hands which will cause more cooling ether or water?
Ether has a greater cooling effect than water when smeared on your hands because of its evaporation method. Ether gets its energy from your hands. So when it evaporates, the cooling effect is greater than water.
How could water be placed back into anhydrous crystals?
Freeze it. Ice is anhydrous crystalline water.
How is water droplets formed in the inner most surface of the beaker?
when the hot water in the beaker touches the cool surface of the beaker,the water condenses into water droplets.
What will happen when a drop of ink is placed gently at the base of a beaker containing water with the help of a dropper?
the ink will mix with the entire water.Even though it is dense than water,it will mix with it
A potato cube is placed in a beaker filled with hot salt water and another potato cube is placed in a beaker filled with cold salt water?
A patato cube is placed in a beaker filled with hot salt water and another patato cube is placed in a beaker filled with cold salt water?

After a salt cube is placed into a beaker of water what will happen?
beakers are not made of water, they are made of glass.

What happens to air pressure if a balloon with the same initial volume is placed in a beaker of cold water then placed in a beaker of hot water?
it would shrink in cold and expand in warm, if you really want to surprise your teacher say it has to do with particle theory
Why does cold water freeze when it is placed in a hot climate?
it Dosen't
What is a displacement beaker?
a displacement beaker (canister) is used to determine volume of irregular objects. Water is put into the beaker up to the spout, and then an object is placed inside; the water that pours out is collected in a more accurate measurement device, this water is equal (or close to) the volume of the object.
Are there any liquids which would change to gas if placed in a tube and put into a beaker of boiling water?
yes
How could water be placed back into anhydrous crystals?
Freeze it. Ice is anhydrous crystalline water.
What would happen if a normal cell were placed in a beaker of pure water?
it would absorb more and more water until it will explode
Why does salt soluble in water not in ether?
Water is a polar liquid; ether is not.
If an object floats in a beaker as shown assuming the graduated cylinder was empty when the object was placed in the beaker and the beaker was full to the level of the spout what must be true?
stop cheating on gizmos, fool. :)The Answer: The mass of the water in the graduated cylinder is equal to the mass of the object.lol
