What happens when a solid is dissolved in a liquid? In the simplest case it involves mixing two materials together. The most common examples of dissolving involve a solid and a liquid, usually water. When a solid dissolves the solid (solute) and the liquid (solvent) form a very close intimate mixture called a solution. Why […]

How many pounds of nitrogen per acre are needed for corn? 250 pounds How much nitrogen do you put in a hay field? “Apply 50 to 60 pounds per acre of nitrogen on your best grass stands and 30 to 40 pounds per acre on the rest,” he recommends. Thomas suggests a similar amount of […]

What 3 types of EM waves are dangerous to humans? The most dangerous frequencies of electromagnetic energy are X-rays, gamma rays, ultraviolet light and microwaves. X-rays, gamma rays and UV light can damage living tissues, and microwaves can cook them. How long does it take for gamma rays to kill you? Most deaths occur within […]

What is the difference between control variable and independent variable? Independent variable – the variable that is altered during a scientific experiment. Controlled variable – a variable that is kept the same during a scientific experiment. Any change in a controlled variable would invalidate the results. What is the different types of variables? Parts of […]

Is hail a solid or liquid? Hail actually falls as a solid. Hailstones are formed by layers of water attaching and freezing in a large cloud. A frozen droplet begins to fall from a cloud during a storm, but is pushed back up into the cloud by a strong updraft of wind. When the hailstone […]

How do electrolytic cells work? An electrolytic cell converts electrical energy into chemical energy. Here, the redox reaction is spontaneous and is responsible for the production of electrical energy. The reaction at the anode is oxidation and that at the cathode is reduction. Here, the anode is positive and cathode is the negative electrode. What […]

How did Joseph save Egypt? Joseph collected all the food produced in those seven years of abundance in Egypt and stored it in the cities. When all Egypt began to feel the famine, the people cried to Pharaoh for food. Then Pharaoh told all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph and do what he tells you.” […]

What is the relationship between volume and pressure for a gas? It is summarized in the statement now known as Boyle’s law: The volume of a given amount of gas held at constant temperature is inversely proportional to the pressure under which it is measured. Are volume and temperature directly proportional? The volume of a […]
