Question

12 mL of Dettol is added to a beaker containing 500 ml of water and is stirred. State any two observations that you make.​

Answer 1

Answer:

When 2ml of dettol is added to a beaker containing water, one can see that:

(a) Dettol, completely mixes with water. After mixing, one cannot distinguish the dettol content from water.

(b) The smell of dettol could be identified after stirring.

(c) A slight colour change can also be observed while stirring. The mixture becomes slightly white in colour.

(d) The concentration of dettol is reduced. The effects (for example the ability to kill germs) shown by the mixture of dettol + water is less than that of 2ml of dettol alone.
