Water is used in an experiment because (for example) you need to separate a mixture, it can be evaporated. Basically, water is used because it is easier to work with since it can be in all three states (solid, liquid, gas). :)

Design an experiment that separates blue-green chemical from water?

One way to separate the blue-green chemical from water is through a process called liquid-liquid extraction. In this experiment, you can mix the water containing the blue-green chemical with an organic solvent such as dichloromethane. The blue-green chemical will partition into the organic solvent, allowing you to separate the two layers. The organic solvent layer can then be evaporated to obtain the blue-green chemical.


How much vinegar and baking soda should be used to create the best chemical reaction for a volcano experiment?

For the best chemical reaction in a volcano experiment, use about 1/4 cup of vinegar and 1 tablespoon of baking soda.


Why anhydrous sodium sulfate is used in experiment?

Anhydrous sodium sulfate is used in experiments to dry organic solvents by removing residual water. It is a desiccant, meaning it has a strong affinity for water and can absorb any remaining moisture in the solvent, making it suitable for certain chemical reactions that are sensitive to water.


Can you use drinking water instead of distilled water in a science experiment?

I would say no. Drinking water straight from the water supply will have additives (such as fluorine, chlorine etc). The additives are only in minute quantities, but may affect any experiments. Distilled water is much more pure.

Why is it important to let water to become still before an experiment?

If water is not still before an experiment then if the experiment involves measuring water then the measurement would not be accurate. Also if there is something in the water you might spill it out and spoil your experiment.


Does the temperature of the water effect a science experiment?

Yes. How much it affects the experiment depends on exactly what the experiment is and how much the temperature has changed, but any change in temperature affects water's physical and chemical properties.
