Do thermometers contain mercury?
Some do, some have other liquids instead, such as colored alcohol.Some do, some have other liquids instead, such as colored alcohol.Some do, some have other liquids instead, such as colored alcohol.Some do, some have other liquids instead, such as colored alcohol.
Do liquids have electrically charged particles?
Yes, liquids can contain electrically charged particles, such as ions. In some liquids, molecules can dissociate into ions, carrying positive or negative charges. These charged particles can contribute to the electrical conductivity and other properties of the liquid.
Which liquids are insulators?
Some examples of liquids that are good insulators include oil, pure water, and silicone oil. These liquids have high resistance to electrical conductance, meaning they do not allow electricity to flow through them easily.
What liquids that reduce friction?
Some liquids that can reduce friction include oil, lubricants, and water-based solutions. These liquids help to create a layer between moving surfaces, reducing direct contact and minimizing friction.
How are gases and liquids alike?
Gases and liquids are both considered fluids because they can flow and take the shape of their container. They can exert pressure on the walls of their container and have molecules that move freely past each other. However, liquids have higher density and are less compressible compared to gases.
What do you mean like dissolve like?
For example polar liquids dissolve polar solids, nonpolar liquids dissolve nonpolar solids.
How is miscibility of 2 liquids related to their polarity?
The miscibility of two liquids is typically related to their polarity. Generally, polar liquids are more likely to be miscible with other polar liquids, while nonpolar liquids are more likely to be miscible with other nonpolar liquids. This is due to similar intermolecular forces between molecules that allow them to mix easily.
Are polar and non polar liquids soluble?
Generally not. The general rule to go by is like dissolves like. Polar substance will dissolve other polar substances while nonpolar substances will dissolve other nonpolar substances.
What would form a heterogenous mixture?
mixture of polar and nonpolar liquids.
What does like disslove like mean?
Polar substances dissolve in polar liquids. Nonpolar substances dissovle in nonpolar liqiuds. (For more info on polar and nonpolar, refer to Chemistry)
Why do some liquids sink in liquids?
The more-dense liquid will sink because it's more dense and this is the lowest-energy state. If both are polar or both are nonpolar, some mixing will occur, but the effect can still be seen.
What is the term for a liquid composed of nonpolar molecules?
The term for a liquid composed of nonpolar molecules is a nonpolar solvent. These types of liquids do not have a permanent electric dipole moment and typically do not dissolve polar substances well.
Water is polar and oil is nonpolar. What happens when the two liquids are poured into the same container?
The liquids do not mix. They are said to be immiscible.
Do polar or non polar liquids have a greater capillary action?
Polar liquids have a greater capillary action than nonpolar liquids because polar liquids have molecules that exhibit stronger intermolecular forces, such as hydrogen bonding, which allow them to "climb" up a surface more easily. Nonpolar liquids have weaker intermolecular forces, reducing their capillary action.
Why do some liquids sinks in liquids?
Some liquids sink in other liquids due to differences in density. When a liquid is denser than the liquid it is placed in, it will sink because of gravity. This is similar to how some objects sink or float in water based on their density compared to the water.
What factor determines if two liquids will be miscible or immiscible?
Molecules that do not dissolve in other molecules that are similar. If the molecules are not similar, they will not mix. Therefore, you have an immiscible liquid. Polar solvents will only dissolve polar compounds. (e.g. NaCl in H2O soln) Nonpolar solvents will only dissolve nonpolar compunds. (e.g Vitamin A in an oil) However, certain solvents are miscible with both polar and nonpolar solvents. An example of this would be ethanol (CH3CH2OH), which is miscible with water(polar) and hexane(nonpolar).
Is cinnamon polar of nonpolar?
Cinnamon is a mixture of various compounds, some of which are polar (such as cinnamaldehyde) and some are nonpolar (such as cinnamyl alcohol). Overall, cinnamon can be considered to exhibit both polar and nonpolar properties.
