What is the ratio of cornstarch to water in the graph?
Transcribed Image Text:### Cornstarch and Water Ratio Table
This table explores varying ratios of cornstarch to water, providing useful data for educational experiments involving non-Newtonian fluids like oobleck.
#### Table Data:
| Amount of Water (grams) | Amount of Cornstarch (grams) | Ratio of Cornstarch to Water |
|-------------------------|------------------------------|-------------------------------|
| 100 | 1000 | |
| 200 | 1000 | |
| 300 | 1000 | |
| 400 | 1000 | |
| 500 | 1000 | |
| 600 | 1000 | |
| 700 | 1000 | |
| 800 | 1000 | |
| 900 | 1000 | |
| 1000 | 1000 | |
| 1100 | 1000 | |
#### Explanation
- **Amount of Water (grams):** This column lists increasing amounts of water mixed with a constant amount of cornstarch.
- **Amount of Cornstarch (grams):** This value remains constant at 1000 grams for each entry.
- **Ratio of Cornstarch to Water:** This column is intended for calculating the ratio based on the given water and cornstarch amounts to understand the mixture's consistency and behavior.
#### Educational Usage
This data allows students to calculate the ratio of cornstarch to water and observe changes in properties such as viscosity and flow. It's an excellent starting point for experiments on mixtures and solutions in physics and chemistry.
Expert Solution
Step 1Introduction
Cornstarch and water can be mixed in different amounts to give rise to the formation of a thick viscous solution. After mixing cornstarch and water a thick solution is formed that does not move here and there.
