Do all substances dissolve in water? Kids explore the varying levels of solubility of common household substances in this fun-filled experiment!
Materials Needed:
4 clear, glass jars filled with plain tap water
Flour
Salt
Talcum or baby powder
Granulated sugar
Stirrer
Step 1: Help your child form a big question before starting the experiment.
Step 2: Make a hypothesis for each substance. Perhaps the salt will dissolve because your child has watched you dissolve salt or sugar in water when cooking. Maybe the baby powder will not dissolve because of its powdery texture. Help your child write down his or her predictions.
Step 3: Scoop a teaspoon of each substance in the jars, only adding one substance per jar. Stir it up!
Step 4: Observe whether or not each substance dissolves and record the findings!
Your child will likely note that that sugar and salt dissolve, while the flour will partially dissolve, and the baby powder will remain intact. The grainy crystals of the sugar and salt are easily dissolved in water, but the dry, powdery substances are likely to clump up or remain at the bottom of the jar.
As you can see, the scientific method is easy to work into your child’s scientific experiments. Not only does it increase your child’s scientific learning and critical thinking skills, but it sparks curiosity and motivates kids as they learn to ask questions and prove their ideas! Get started today with the above ideas, and bring the scientific method home to your child during your next exciting science experiment
The balanced reaction is
Ca + 2H2O → Ca(OH)2 + H2
Here this reaction can be compared with
A + BC ---> AB + C
So here one reactant (A) is accepting a group which is being given by another compound (BC) however the A is not giving any group / element or ion
So this single displacement
Similarly in the given reaction
the anion OH- is only being replaced
The element Ca accepts OH- and H2O loses the same group to form new element H2
So the correct answer is
Single replacement also known as single displacement
Having resources? i guess...
maybe it is critical thinking?
This is the chemical doula for salt which is a polyatomic anion very prevalent in out daily lives e.g.
Salts, acid derivatives, and peroxides of sulfate are widely used in industry.
Answer:
V = 22.41 L
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of nitrogen = 14.0 g
Volume of gas at STP = ?
Gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K
Solution:
Number of moles of gas:
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Number of moles= 14 g/ 14 g/mol
Number of moles = 1 mol
Volume of gas:
PV = nRT
1 atm × V = 1 mol × 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K × 273 K
V = 22.41 atm.L / 1 atm
V = 22.41 L
