Those that passed straight through did so because they didn't encounter any nuclei.

During which step in the Can Crush Lab did water vapor force air from the can?
irina [24]
When you heated the can with the bit of water inside and you boiled it over a flame, the water turned to vapor (gas) and the pressure in the inside of the can is different from the pressure on the outside of the can. When you placed the can into a ice water beaker or a container, the can shrunk it's size, decreasing it's mass and density. The can shrunk as a result of the inside pressure being equalized with the outside pressure.
The part where you placed it in the ice bath or container was when the water vapor was forced out of the can.

Classify each of the statements below as pertaining to viscosity or osmolarity.
Yuliya22 [10]
Viscosity is related to the parallel shear force acted by the fluid. In lay man's term, viscosity is the ease of how the fluid flows. The faster the flow is, the lower the viscosity (and vice versa). On the other hand, osmolarity pertains to the concentration of a component in a mixture expressed in number of solute particles per liter of the mixture.
