<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>Temperature dependency is responsible for the process that hot water freeze faster than cold water.</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The effect given above is called Mpemba Effect. According to this idea hot water freezes more quickly as compared to cold water. But until now there is no convincing explanation for this strange phenomenon.  One idea is that hot containers make better thermal contact with a refrigerator and so conduct heat more efficiently because a good conductor is good fro the transfer of heat. Another idea about this effect is that warm water evaporates more quickly and since this is an endothermic process, it cools the water making it freeze more quickly.

Preparation
•    Grate a small red cabbage. If you do not want to grate the entire cabbage, grating half of a cabbage should be enough. Put the fine, pulpy grated cabbage into a large bowl or pot.
•    Boil a pot of water. Use caution when handling the boiling water. Pour the boiling water into the bowl with the cabbage pulp until the water just covers the cabbage.
•    Leave the cabbage mixture steeping, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is room temperature. This should take at least half an hour. The liquid will become red or purplish-red in color.
•    Place a strainer over another large bowl or pot and pour the cabbage mixture through the strainer to remove the cabbage pulp. Press down on the pulp in the strainer, such as by using a large spoon, to squeeze more liquid out of the pulp.
•    In the bowl, you should now have only liquid that will either be purple or blue in color. This will be your indicator solution, which you will use to test the pH of different liquids.

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

The correct option is: C ) 14.4 lb      

Explanation:

The standard International unit of mass is kilogram, kg. Other commonly used units of mass are grams (g), tonne (t), pounds (lb).

The mass of 500 mL liquid mercury is 6.53 kg.

Since, 1 kg = 2.20462 lb ≈ 2.205 lb

Therefore, the mass of 500 mL liquid mercury in pounds = 6.53 × 2.20462 = 14.39619 lb ≈ 14.4 lb.
