Liquid Water Aquatic Life

What would the world be like if solid water was
denser than liquid water? Density is a property of
matter. It is defined as the amount of material
that fits in a given space. Denser objects are
naturally heavier than objects that are less dense
and of the same size. In the same manner that
solid objects have density, liquids also have
density. In that connection, water is denser than
oil. If two objects of different densities come
into contact, then the one that is less dense will
float on it. T...

Positively Charged Positive Charge
1,691 words
Lightning is a discharge of static electricity in
the atmosphere, which causes a bright flash of
light. When lighting goes through the air, it
heats the air to degrees hotter than the suns
surface about 50, 000 degrees fahrenheit. This
heating causes the air to expand and contract.
This causes the sound called thunder. Lightning is
caused by a build up of negative ions in the
atmosphere which discharges into the ground
causing the negative ions to go with the positive
ions in the ground. Static ...

Measuring Cylinder Reaction Rate

How concentration affects reaction rate. The aim
of this investigation is to see how the
concentration of a reactant in ratio to the
reactor affects the rate of a reaction. When
hydrochloric acid and Thiosulphate react together
sulphur is liberated this means that as the
reaction goes on the solution will become yellow
and will change from being transparent to
translucent to opaque. The sulphur is formed as a
solid but not in the usual precipitation way. Na 2
