Surface tension supports the filings in the same way as a pond skater. Add a drop of detergent and the meniscus is broken down and the filings fall to the bottom
A drop of oil placed on the surface of water will typically form a near-perfect circle due to surface tension forces that minimize the surface area of the liquid.
The surface tension of the water and the fact that oil and water cannot wet each other.
No, the amount of iron filings in water does not affect waves when a magnet passes over. The iron filings would be attracted to the magnet, creating a visual effect, but they do not disrupt the propagation of waves in the water.
When water slowly bubbles underground, it can form geysers or hot springs. Geysers erupt intermittently, releasing steam and water into the air, while hot springs have a constant flow of warm water to the surface. Both are caused by underground volcanic activity or geothermal heating.
Yes a paper clip is able to float in water. Take a bowl, fill it up to the top with water, take a paper towel and put it into the bowl, let it sit there for 3 seconds...then put the paper clip on it, and slowly remove the towel. This is able to work by Surface tension.Depending on the size, some paperclips can due to the high surface tension of water.
A needle placed in water will float due to surface tension. The surface tension of water allows the needle to be supported on the surface rather than sink.
A drop of oil placed on the surface of water will typically form a near-perfect circle due to surface tension forces that minimize the surface area of the liquid.
Use a magnet to remove the iron filings. The add water to dissolve the salt, and the aluminum filings will settle to the bottom of the container. Pour that salt water into a pan, heat it and evaporate the water, leaving the salt in the pan.
separate iron filings AND ash from water by filtration or evaporation then, if required, separate iron filings from ash by using a magnetic field,
A needle can float on water due to surface tension. When the needle is carefully placed on the surface of the water, its weight is not enough to break the surface tension created by the water molecules, causing it to float.
because it is refracted.
Oil is less dense than water and has a lower surface tension. When a drop of oil is placed on water, it spreads out to increase its surface area and minimize contact with water molecules. This process is driven by the intermolecular forces between the oil and water molecules.
it floats.They float at water surface.

evaporate the watercrush the clay-iron mixture to powderuse a magnet to remove the iron from the clay
die..and its body will float on the surface
