No. Watch what happens with talcum powder. When the particles between the solid are more cohesive than the attraction to water molecules, they will not be "wetted" and remain floating.

A container of soymilk has the instruction on its label to shake well before opening.The soymilk is most likely a .?

The soymilk is most likely a suspension or an emulsion. These types of products can separate over time, with solids or particulates settling at the bottom. Shaking the container ensures that the ingredients are evenly distributed, providing a consistent texture and flavor when poured. This is common for non-dairy milk alternatives and similar beverages.


Special properties of liquid?

A liquid is defined as something that has a constant volume but conforms to the shape of its container. This is different from a gas which has variable volume and conforms to the shape of its container. It is also different from a solid which has a constant volume and does not change to fit the shape of its container.


Are solids fluids?

No. A great illustration is glass. The only reason that we can see through glass is because it is a fluid; the proof being that when an eighty year old piece of glass is examined, flow can be detected because the glass sheet is thicker at the bottom.


What is the difference between diffusion and dissolve?

Diffusion is the spread of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Diffusion can occur in gas or liquid.Dissolving occurs when one substance, the solvent, supports the particles of another substance, the solute, to form a solution. The two processes are similar.Example:Sugar in the bottom of a cup of coffee will slowly diffuse into the bottom of the cup dissolving as it goes. When we stir the coffee we make the process faster and the dissolving is uniform without a higher concentration at the bottom of the cup.Perfume or petrol (gasoline) in a container in the corner of the room will slowly diffuse out and we can smell it even when we are not next to the container. Again the concentration is higher the closer we are to the container.


Why are upwelling waters always cold?

they come from the colder waters on the bottom of the oceans

How are the insoluble solids removed from the water?

Insoluble solids can be removed from water through processes such as filtration, settling, or centrifugation. Filtration involves passing the water through a medium that traps the solids, settling allows the solids to sink to the bottom of a container, and centrifugation uses spinning to separate the solids from the liquid.


Which physical state takes the shape of its container but always takes up the same amount of space?

The physical state that takes the shape of its container but always occupies the same amount of space is a liquid. Liquids have a definite volume, meaning they do not change their volume regardless of the container they are in. However, they will conform to the shape of the container, filling it from the bottom up.


Reading the volume of liquid inside the graduated cylinder?

Always read from the bottom of the meniscus (where the liquid reaches up the side of the container).


What is meant by decantation?

Answer 1Until a Chemist can give a "chemistry" answer, I will use the answer from the perspective of wine making. Wine has many solids suspended in the raw fermentation batch. Over time, the solids will settle out to the bottom of the container.To get the "good" wine separated from the mess at the bottom of the container, tubing is inserted into the clear wine above, a syphon process is started.Then the pick-up end of the syphon is set just barely above the settled-out mess, so that only the clear wine is syphoned out, leaving the contaminated wine and solids in the original container.Therefore, the process of "decantation" is the removal of a "clean" portion of a liquid from above the sediment in a container.


How much space does a liquid take?

A liquid takes the shape of its container, meaning it will occupy the space available to it. However, it has a definite volume that remains consistent regardless of the container's shape. Liquids do not have a fixed shape but will always conform to the bottom of the container they are in.


Do liquids always fill their container?

Gravity. The gravitational pull of the Earth will exert a force on anything with a mass and pull it towards the centre of the Earth. As we're essentially standing on the surface of a sphere, the centre of the Earth is pretty much straight down and gravity will pull liquids to the bottom of any container.


If a total force exerted by water in a container with a bottom area of 12 square meters is 450 newtons What is the water pressure at the bottom of the container?

The water pressure at the bottom of the container is calculated by dividing the total force by the area of the bottom surface. In this case, the water pressure at the bottom of the container would be 37.5 newtons per square meter (450 newtons ÷ 12 square meters).


How should one safely handle the process of disposing of turpentine?

To safely dispose of turpentine, follow these steps: 1. Allow the turpentine to sit in a sealed container until the paint solids settle at the bottom. 2. Pour off the clear liquid on top into a separate container for reuse. 3. Take the remaining paint solids to a hazardous waste disposal facility. 4. Do not pour turpentine down the drain or dispose of it in the regular trash.

When measuring you do the measurement from the bottom of the meniscus?

You should always measure at the lowest part of the meniscus. The meniscus is a slight curvature at the top of a liquid in a container.


When this material is placed in a container of water it sinks to the bottom of the container compared to the density of water the density of the material is?

The density of the material is greater than the density of water if it sinks to the bottom of the container when placed in water.
