Liquids
Introduction
You probably know that when solid objects are placed in liquid, they can sink or float. But did you know that liquids can also sink or float? In fact, it is possible to stack different layers of liquids on top of one another. The key is that all the different layers must have different densities. You can stack them by picking several liquids with a range of densities or by varying the density of one liquid by adding chemicals such as sugar or salt to it. If you choose colored liquids or add food coloring to each layer, you can even create a whole rainbow of colors in one single glass! Want to see for yourself? In this science activity you will stack several liquids—one by one—and create a colorful density column!
Background
Whether an object sinks or floats depends on its density compared with the density of the liquid into which it is dropped. All types of matter—solids as well as liquids—are made up of many different atoms. Depending on the mass of these atoms, their size and the way they are arranged, different substances will have different densities. The density is characteristic for each individual compound and defined as the mass of a compound divided by its volume. In other words, the more matter there is in a certain amount of volume, the denser a substance is. One cubic centimeter of rock, for example, is much heavier than a cubic centimeter of wood. This is because there is much more matter in the same volume of rock compared with the wood.
ADVERTISEMENT
Liquids can also have different densities. Freshwater, for example, has a density of about one gram per cubic centimeter at room temperature. Any compound—liquid or solid—that has a higher density than water will sink whereas substances with a lower density than that will float. You can test that for yourself by gathering several liquids that you have in your kitchen such as vegetable oil, corn syrup, dishwashing soap, water, rubbing alcohol and more. Which one of these do you think will sink or float in water? Find out in this activity!
Materials
Glass or cup
Water
Food coloring
Scissors
Rubber band (wide)
Small piece of wax
Popsicle stick
At least two small, clear jars or transparent mini cups (two ounces) with lids
Permanent marker
Masking tape
Three tablespoons
Dark corn syrup
Vegetable oil
Penny
Paper towels
Rubbing alcohol, dishwashing soap and other liquids (optional)
Sugar (optional)
Preparation
Gather all your materials at a workspace that can tolerate spills of all the liquids.
Fill a cup with tap water and add a couple of drops of food coloring to the water.
Ask an adult to help you cut and prepare small pieces (about 0.5 by 0.5 centimeter) of the rubber band, the popsicle stick and the wax.
Place the two empty jars in front of you (without the lids) and label them “1” and “2” with a piece of tape and the permanent marker.
Procedure
Take a clean tablespoon and pour two tablespoons of corn syrup in jar 1.
With the second tablespoon, carefully pour two tablespoons of colored water into jar 1 on top of the corn syrup. What happens to the water on top of the corn syrup? Does it mix or stay separate?
Use the third clean tablespoon to pour two tablespoons of vegetable oil in jar “1” on top of the colored water. Do you see mixing of the liquids? What happens to the oil? Does it float on top or sink to the bottom?
Now take empty jar 2 and add the same liquids—but in reverse order. Start by pouring in two tablespoons of vegetable oil.

Elements: Hydrogen, Oxygen
Number of molecules: 4
Number of elements: 8 H, 4 O
Number of Atoms: 12
Explanation:
The elements are determined by the their symbol i.e. H = hydrogen.
The number of molecules is determined by the coefficient ( the number in front of everything, in this case 4).
The number of elements is determined by the coefficient and the subscripts. Multiply the coefficient by the subscript after each element. When there is no subscript, it is equal to 1. 4H₂ = 4x2 = 8; 4O = 4x1 = 4.
The number of atoms is all the individual elements added together. 8+4 = 12.

The mug and the water lose all thermal energy.
The water is hotter than the mug.
The mug is hotter than the water.
•The water and the mug are the same temperature.
Explanation:
answer #D is correct
When the water and the mug are at the same temperature then thermal energy will no longer be transferred from the boiling water to the mug. Therefore, option (D) is correct.
What is thermal energy?Thermal energy is generated in a substance when an increase in temperature causes atoms and molecules to move at a faster speed and result in the molecules colliding with each other. The energy generated from the temperature of the heated material is called thermal energy.
Thermal Energy or internal kinetic energy is because of the random motion of molecules in the system. The thermal energy of any system is directly proportional to its temperature.
The more the temperature of the system, the more the movement of molecules within a given system, and the more the thermal energy of the system.
The thermal energy will be transferred from the boiling water to the mug when the water is hotter than the mug. When both have the same temperature then the thermal energy is no longer being transferred from boiling water to a mug.

A balloon is a sphere with a radius of 5.0 m. The force of air against the walls of the balloon is 45 N. What is the air pressure inside the balloon? Surface area = 12.56 × radius² 1 Pa = 1 N/m² How would I solve this problem? What are the steps or a good way to remeber how to solve?
Answer:
0.127 N/m² or 0.127 Pa
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Radius (r) = 5 m
Force (F) = 40 N
Pressure (P) =.?
Next, we shall determine the Surface area of the sphere (i.e the balloon). This can be obtained as follow:
Surface area = 12.56 × r²
Radius (r) = 5 m
Surface area = 12.56 × 5²
Surface area = 12.56 × 25
Surface area = 314 m²
Finally, we shall determine the pressure as follow:
Force (F) = 40 N
Surface area = 314 m²
Pressure (P) =.?
Pressure = Force /Area
Pressure = 40/314
Pressure = 0.127 N/m² = 0.127 Pa
Therefore, the pressure inside the balloon is 0.127 N/m² or 0.127 Pa.

The Atomic Number (Z) indicates the number of protons in an atom of an element. If the atom is neutral then the number of protons will be equal to the number of electrons. So the atomic number can also indicate the number of electrons.
Mass Number (A) = Number of protons + Number of Neutrons
Atomic Number (Z) = Mass Number (A) - Number of Neutrons
Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons ⇒ neutral atoms
Atomic number - positive charge = number of electrons ⇒ cation

Answer:
Alkali metals are highly reactive elements that appear to be silver and they are found in group 1 of the periodic table. It consists of lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), cesium (Cs), and francium (Fr). As you go further down the group, the more reactive they are. Those elements all react to water and air, so they must be kept in oil to preserve their state.

Explanation:
Propane (C₃H₈) is a colorless alkane gas with three carbons and eight hydrogen atoms. In 2.23 grams of propane, there are 3.05 x 10²³ carbon atoms present.
What is the number of particles/atoms?
The number of atoms or the particles being the smallest units is estimated by the product of the number of moles and Avogadro's number.
The Avogadro's number (Na) is used to determine the number of particles that have been present in a mole of a substance. A mole of a substance is said to have 6.022 × 10²³ ions, atoms, electrons, molecules, etc.
Moles of propane are calculated as,
Moles = mass ÷ molar mass
= 2.23 ÷ 440.094
= 0.05057
Now, the number of particles is calculated as,
Number = moles × Avogadro's number
= 0.05057 × 6.022 × 10²³
= 3.05 x 10²³
Therefore, 3.05 x 10²³ carbon atoms are present in 2.23 grams of propane.
