Four students are carrying out different laboratory procedures.

1) Piroja is mixing baking soda and vinegar to see if it reacts.

2)Jason is heating salt water over a burner until the water evaporates.

3) Kali is putting crushed ice and ice cubes on a table to see which melts first. 4)Francisco is separating iron filings from sand using a magnet. Which experiment relies on convection?

APiroja’s experiment

b.Jason’s experiment

c)Kali’s experiment

d)Francisco’s experiment

Verified Answer :

B. Jason's experiment

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Convection is defined as a process in which a fluid is heated an hotter material (less dense) rises at the top whereas cooler material (more dense) sinks at the bottom. This movement of material causes transfer of heat between the materials.

For example, when Jason is heating salt water over a burner until the water evaporates.

Thus, we can conclude that Jason’s experiment relies on convection.
