The tendency of some solids to take in and hold liquid is known as absorption. This occurs when the solid has porous or hygroscopic properties, allowing it to soak up liquid through its structure or chemical affinity. Examples include sponges absorbing water and certain soils retaining moisture. The effectiveness of absorption depends on the material's surface area, porosity, and chemical composition.
What else can I help you with?
Why distillation cannot be done with volatile solids dissolved in liquids?
The volatile solids will have a vapor pressure at the boiling point of the liquid which means some of that solid will vaporize and go thru the distillation process with the liquid. When condensed you will not get a pure liquid.
Why all solids do not change from solid to liquid to gas on heating?
Not all solids have the same melting point; some require higher temperatures to melt. Additionally, some substances undergo sublimation, in which they transition directly from solid to gas without passing through the liquid phase. This variation in behavior is due to differences in the intermolecular forces and structures of different substances.
In filtration the amount of dissolved solids passing through the filters is?
In filtration, the amount of dissolved solids passing through the filters typically depends on the type of filter used and the size of the dissolved particles. Filters are designed to separate solids from liquids, allowing smaller particles, including some dissolved solids, to pass through while retaining larger particles. The efficiency of filtration can vary based on the filter's pore size and the properties of the liquid being filtered. Ultimately, some dissolved solids may still be present in the filtered liquid, albeit in reduced concentrations.
Are solids nonmetals?
Some are solids like carbon, phosphorus, sulphur etc Some are gases like helium, neon, argon etc. Bromine is the only liquid non metal
True or false solids have a definite shape and do not flow?
True. Solids have a definite shape and volume because their particles are closely packed and do not move freely past each other. This results in solids having a fixed shape and not flowing like liquids or gases.
Does a fire extinguisher have liquid in it?
Some fire extinguishers have liquid; some have solids; some have compressed gas; some have combinations of gas, liquids and solids.
Can you choose some solids that behave as a liquid and explain why they do this?
Can you choose some solids that behave as a liquid and explain why they do this? Is jelly a solid that behaves as a liquid?? and is it because they arent very strong.
What do you call a liquid that dissolves some solids?
solvent
Do all solids form a liquid berfore they turn into gas?
All solids except sublime solids form a liquid before they turn into gas. Sublime solids directly turn to gases.
What do you call a liquid that makes some solids dissolve?
solvent
What can ice freeze?
ice can freeze any liquid and some solids
Do all solids dissolve in different liquids?
No, not all solids dissolve in all liquids. The ability of a solid to dissolve in a liquid depends on various factors such as the nature of the solid and the liquid, as well as their molecular structures. Some solids may dissolve in one liquid but not in another.
Is paint a liquid a solid or a gas?
Paint is a suspension of solids in a liquid. When the liquid evaporates, the solids are left behind as dry paint (as opposed to the "wet paint" the signs warn you about). There will be some small amount of gas dissolved into the liquid, but it is seldom of any consequence.
Why distillation cannot be done with volatile solids dissolved in liquids?
The volatile solids will have a vapor pressure at the boiling point of the liquid which means some of that solid will vaporize and go thru the distillation process with the liquid. When condensed you will not get a pure liquid.
Is foam a solution?
All foams are liquid during formation. Some remain liquid while others cure or cool to solids.
What is solids and liquids?
Solids are a phase of matter in which the molecules are packed together and can only move together. The molecuules in liquids have some space to move... Ex of solids: rocks, hat, pencil......anything you can hold on to LIQUIDS: water, juice, soda........
What is soild gas and liquid?
Solids, liquids and gases are physical states. Somethings are solids:wood, some are gases:air, and some are liquids:water.
