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.

What collects on the outside of the beaker if you place a 5 ml water and few ice cubes in the beaker?

Condensation will collect on the outside of the beaker when you put a 5 ml of water and ice cubes inside due to the temperature difference between the cold contents inside the beaker and the warmer air outside. This causes water vapor in the air to condense, forming droplets on the exterior surface of the beaker.


How do you prove that water vapour is present in the air by using only a beaker and several ice cubes?

Place the ice cubes in the beaker and wait for a few minutes. If water droplets form on the outside of the beaker, it indicates that water vapor in the air has condensed on the cold surface of the beaker. This condensation process proves the presence of water vapor in the air.


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


How does is the temperature of beaker measure in water?

The temperature of a beaker is typically measured using a thermometer that is placed in the water inside the beaker. The thermometer will provide a reading of the water temperature, which indirectly reflects the temperature of the beaker as well.


Can water in a beaker be made to boil by placing in a bath of boiling water?

Yes, as the water in the beaker will finally get the same water temperature in the water bath.

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.

If you place iodine in a beaker of H2O will it float?

Iodine is denser than water, so it will sink in a beaker of water rather than float.

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.


What happened to the water in the beaker?

The water in the beaker evaporated or was poured out.

Which physical method can be used for obtaining a sample of salt from a small beaker of salt water?

One method to obtain salt from salt water is through evaporation. Simply heat the salt water in the small beaker until all the water evaporates, leaving behind the salt crystals. Another method is to use a filter paper or a sieve to separate the salt crystals from the remaining water in the beaker.
