What is a water softener pellet made of?
Pellets are made from potassium chloride (KCl).
When a small metal pellet is dropped into the water the pellet moves up and down through the water in a circular pattern Which process is causing the pellet's movement?
An object large enough to be called a pellet would be too large to be affected by "Brownian Motion" so I'm going to guess that you are observing a pellet dropped into carbonated water. If that is the case, the pellet provides a surface where the carbon dioxide can form a bubble through the process of effervescence or nucleation. The bubble of carbon dioxide provides the buoyancy to carry the pellet to the surface. Once the pellet rises to the surface, the bubble bursts and the pellet begins to sink again.If the metal pellet was made of some water-reactive metal such as calcium or magnesium, the pellet could be producing hydrogen bubbles on the surface as it reacts with the water to form the metal hydroxide. That being the case, there would be no need for carbonation to achieve the effect.
Can a 5mm pellet be fired in a .177 cal rifle?
No. a 177 is a 4.5mm pellet. A 5mm is a 20 cal pellet. A 5.5mm is a 22 cal pellet Don't try it in the wrong airgun.
What are the elements in lye?
Lye is the term to refer to Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH), also known as CausticSoda, and in the past the term also applied to Potassium Hydroxide (KOH).Both are strong bases (alkalies), solid (usually sold in flake and pellet form), whitein color. When added to water to make a solution they generate a lot of heat, socare should be taken to add the base a little at a time having the dissolutionreceptacle cooled in some way while stirring. Use of safety goggles and gloves is a must.In a lye aqueous solution, Sodium Hydroxideis the solute and water the solvent.
What does a pellet stove do?
A pellet stove is a form of wood burning stove except more efficient.

When placed in H2O is a sodium pellet that catches on fire as a hydrogen gas is liberated and sodium hydroxide forms a chemical change?
Yes.
What is the purpose of alcohol when extracting DNA?
According to me, we use alcohol because DNA is insoluble in alcohol, it aggregates together, giving a pellet in centrifugal and we can see a precipitated DNA with naked eyes (that we suppose to see in experiment i.e DNA extraction)....
When placed in H2O a sodium pellet catches on fire as hydrogen gas is liberated and sodium hydroxide forms chemical or physical change?
It is a Chemical change
When placed in h20 a sodium pellet catches on fire as hydrogen gas is liberated and sodium hydroxide forms?
Yes that is true! It is the hydrogen gas that catches fire.

What is the best pellet for having fun?
The dome pellet is considered to be the universal pellet.
Is pottassium an element?
Potassium is a reactive metal, an alkali metal, placed in the group 1 of the periodic table, is soft, has a natural radioactive isotope, easily react with water and halogens, etc. The symbol is K.
What is inside of the pellet?
More pellet.
What is the best pellet gun?
Any of the PCP class of pellet guns or rifles. These are high pressure pellet guns that are capable of shooting a 50cal pellet.
What is observed when run a sds-page using the pellet from serum collection?
SDS is a type of polyacrylamide gel in which bacteria can be grown. To see what can be observed, the collection and experiment should be done by the student.
Can a metal sheet stop a pellet without crushing the pellet?
Are you talking about an airgun pellet? If so, then hitting the sheet with force will deform the pellet. If it's a air-soft plastic pellet it will most likely shatter or at least crack or chip the pellet. Never reuse a pellet after it has been fired. It may damage the gun.
