The flower absorbs all light but purple, making it appear, purple!
A phase change is occuring; the liquid water is changing to gaseous water, or steam. On a molecular level, the intermolecular forces between the water molecules are decreasing. The heat is providing enough energy for the water molecules to overcome these attractive forces.
The solution for this problem would be:(10 - 500x) / (5 - x)
so start by doing:
x(5*50*2) - xV + 5V = 0.02(5*50*2)
500x - xV + 5V = 10
V(5 - x) = 10 - 500x
V = (10 - 500x) / (5 - x)
(V stands for the volume, but leaves us with the expression for x)
The colors that you see on the CD are created by white light reflecting from ridges in the metal. When light reflects off or passes through something with many small ridges or scratches, you often get rainbow colors and interesting patterns. They are called interference patterns.
