Question

As the clump of colored fluid at the bottom of the lava lamp reaches the top, which has increased? its density its temperature the kinetic energy of its molecules the space between its molecules

Answer 1

Answer:

The density will increase

Explanation:

As mentioned in the question, the lamp contains a colored, waxy fluid that can be observed moving in clumps through a clear liquid. The clump of colored fluid reaches to the top from the bottom of the lava lamp, this happens because the clump is heavier so it will absorb maximum amount of heat and using that heat it will expand. When things expand they become less dense and start to rise. So,initially its density will lower but when  it will keep rising in such a way that when it reaches top, it becomes more dense and heavy since it has cooled down till that time.

Hope it help!

Answer 2

Answer:

Option A, its density

Explanation:

A lava lamp consists of two liquids which have density close to each other and are insoluble as well into each other. Now when heat is applied at the bottom of the lava lamp, the heavier liquid absorbs heat and become less dense. As it density reduces it starts flowing and rises up in the lamp. As the liquid rises it becomes cool and its density rises. With the increase in density, this liquid again settles down.

Thus option A is correct
