Archimedes Bucket and Cylinder

I measure the weight of a mass using a spring balance, then submerge it in water. The buoyant force reduces the weight, but adding the same mass of water to the bucket restores it. A simple and clever demonstration of how the displaced water equals the mass added!

Optically active Glucose


 A-Level Chemistry: Viewing a glucose solution through two polarising filters. The light is initially extinguished, but glucose rotates it, allowing some to pass through. This is dextrose; laevose rotates the light in the opposite direction. #Chemistry #OpticalActivity
