The water turns purple, and gets hotter. And what happens to the beaker? Depending on what it is made of, and the temperature to which it is heated, it might melt.

Is calcium chloride and potassium chloride crystals in a beaker a pure substance?

Calcium chloride and potassium chloride are pure substances.


What would happen to a marble if dropped into an empty container like a beaker while the person dropping it was in motion?

The marble will have the motion of the person who dropped it (I assume you mean by 'dropped' that it is not thrown by the person, just dropped), whilst I assume the beaker is stationary. I also assume the person is moving horizontally and the beaker is upright. Therefore the marble will arrive in the beaker with some sideways velocity and will strike the side of the beaker with a horizontal component of velocity as well as a vertical component. I should think it will spin round the beaker a few times before coming to rest, it might even bounce right out. You can't predict this exactly without some more information.


A piece of sodium that's dropped into a beaker of water?

when sodium is dropped into water sodium hydroxide is produced leaving out hydrogen.


When a small piece of potassium is dropped into a beaker of water the potassium moves about rapidly and then ignites within secounds the metal is gone and all activity ceases Is that chemical change?

Yes, according to wikipedia: Potassium reacts very violently with water producing potassium hydroxide (KOH) and hydrogen gas.2 K (s) + 2 H2O (l) → 2 KOH (aq) + H2 (g) This is a chemical change.


What is occurring when a piece of potassium metal ignites in a beaker of water?

The potassium reacts with water to produce potassium hydroxide, hydrogen gas, and large amounts of heat. The heat ignites the hydrogen which in turn ignites the potassium.


What is the product of pottasium with water?

If a piece of Potassium is dropped into a beaker of water it whizzes around on the surface of the water. The reaction is so vigorous that the heat of it causes the Potassium metal to metal. It 'fizzes' and the heat generated can often cause the Hydrogen, that is produced by the reaction, to ignite with a lilac colour flame. Larger pieces of Potassium may even explode due to the vigor of the reaction. 2K + 2H2O ----> 2KOH + H2 (gas)


What happens when an object is dropped into a beaker containing a liquid and then the object drops to the bottom of the beaker?

The density of the object is at least equal to, and possibly greater than, the density of the liquid in the beaker.


What happens when a piece of magnesium is dropped into a beaker of hot water?

It will react slowly to form magnesium hydroxide and hydrogen gas.


A beaker containing 80 grams of KNO3 in 100 grams of water have a temperature of 30 and Acirc and degC. Approximately how many grams of the salt are undissolved on the bottom of the beaker?
