A. The heat from the air caused the water drops to boil.
B. The air cooled the water and caused the drops to freeze.
C. The Sun heated the water and caused the drops to evaporate.
D. The energy from the Sun caused the water drops to condense.
C. The Sun heated the water and caused the drops to evaporate.
What is a variable?
a factor that can change in an experiment
For example, when testing the Mentos in soda, a variable can be what soda you are using, due to you changing it each time

A change in mass
B change in color
C change in volume
D change in temperature
D change in temperature
Salim is studying how the rate of stirring affects the time it takes for salt to dissolve. He added 1 g of salt to each of four beakers filled with water, stirred the water at different speeds, and recorded how long it took for all the salt to dissolve each time. Salim’s results are shown in the following table
No Stirring: 25 seconds
Slow Stirring: 18 Seconds
Medium Stirring: 10 Seconds
Fast Stirring: 6 seconds
What can we conclude about the results?
Stirring a solution of water increases the rate at which a salt dissolves.

What is the difference, or physical properties, of a gas compared to a liquid?
Liquids take the shape of their container, while gases expand to fill their container
Mrs. Lopez is a chemist who is studying salt crystals. She wants to slow the rate at which the crystals dissolve in a solution of water. What could she do to slow the dissolving rate?

Andrea created a solution by adding food coloring to water. Her solution is also a mixture. Which of these is true of all solutions?
A They are all liquids.
B They all include water.
C The parts of all solutions are evenly mixed.
D The substances are always permanently combined.
C The parts of all solutions are evenly mixed.
which is why we can remove salt still. Even though it's mixed evenly, we can remove it through heat!
