This is caused by the refraction of light as it moves through the water. When light passes through anything translucent or transparent, it bends. You have noticed the same thing when swimming.

How can separate water and salt without lossing of water?

Get a filter funnel and filter paper and pour in solution . water will run through and salt left behind


What is the definition of zone broadening in chromatography?

this is where you zone into the paper with a magnifier glass and get a beaker of water and fill it to 50ml then you hold it up in the air and tip it onto the paper but you need to be looking at the paper with a magnifier glass when doing it


How do you separate water after boiling barley seeds?

You can use filtration to separate them. First, you pour the water with the seeds through a filter funnel which is lined with filter paper. Then the filter paper will trap the insoluble substance (the barley seeds). the water will then pass through the filter paper and collected in a beaker as the filtrate.


Beaker X contains 50cm3 of marbles while Beaker Y contains 100cm3 of water. When all the water in Beaker Y is poured into Beaker X what is the volume of the water in Beaker X?

The volume of the water in Beaker X will be 100cm3, as you are not adding any more water to the equation (50X+100Y is not 150Y or X, but 50X+100Y) The total volume of matter in Beaker X will be 150cm3, and if the beaker is labelled, the volume measure will indicate 150cm3 due to the displacement of water. But as the answer to your question, the volume of water in Beaker X must be 100cm3 even though visual indicators will not show this due to the displacement of water by marbles

Which method gives the best results when separating a mixture of sand and water?

Filtration. Place a glass funnel over a beaker, and put a circle of filter paper inside the funnel. Pour the sand-water mixture into the filter paper. The sand should get trapped by the paper, but the water should seep through into the beaker.

When collects on the outside of the beaker is a formation of water drops where did it come from?

This happens when the contents of the beaker are colder than the surrounding air. This causes water vapor in the warmer air to drop below its dew point and condense onto the outside of the beaker.


How do you separate sand from the salt?

Put the sand and salt mixture into a beaker of water. Put more water or raise the temperature of the water until the salt completely disappears. Pour everything in the beaker onto a piece of filter paper. The sand will stay on the filter paper while the water and salt solution will pass through the filter paper. To obtain the sale, simply boil the water and the remaining solid after all the water boiled is salt.

How can you separate a mixture of sand from water?

I would let the sand settle out of the mixture, then pour off the water, leaving the sand behind. If you needed to extract the remainder of the water, put the wet sand into a centrifuge and spin it until the water is out and collected from the centrifuge.If you want to separate sand from water take a beaker a pebble and a filter paper then fix the filter paper in the pebble and put it on the beaker and add the mixture of water and sand then the water will be in the beaker and the sand will be on filter paper. Remember use Steve for thick things such as tiny stones etc and apply the same method.


What are the five steps of the displacement method?

Using a beaker, fill it with water. (But not all the way) Then, place your object in the beaker. Subtract the location of the water at first with the location of the water after. Ex. Location of water at first: 12 mL Location of water after: 15 mL 15-12=3 The objects volume is 3 mL


How is water droplets formed in the inner most surface of the beaker?

when the hot water in the beaker touches the cool surface of the beaker,the water condenses into water droplets.
