From a chemistry andor physics point of view. How do you explain pepper repelling from dish soap?

by Luther College Photos

Question by Mike: From a chemistry andor physics point of view. How do you explain pepper repelling from dish soap?

You know when you put ground pepper ontop of water in a dish.

The pepper floats on top, covering the water. But when you put some dishwater soap on your finger and stick it in the middle of the dish, The pepper moves away from the finger.

How do you explain this in terms of chemistry and physics?

The answer is on this site:
http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/gen06/gen06174.htm

The "simple" answer is that the surface tension of the pepper particles is less than "pure" water (about 72 ergs/cm^2), so the pepper particles tend to float on the water's surface. When you add a drop of soap, you greatly reduce the surface tension of the water near the point at which you add the soap. Initially, this causes a repulsion of the pepper particles and the particles tend to follow the high surface tension areas. If you shake the solution, you will find that the pepper particles get "wetted" by the soap solution and the pepper will disperse in the soap solution.

Question by jtexas: Is it a shame that there isn't a Yahoo Questions category for religion and spirituality?

One where questions of religion and spirituality are actually asked and answered, instead of the same old tired sarcastic arguments lobbed back and forth.

Not that I don't enjoy a bit of sarcasm every now & then.

A vividly told autobiographical account of the life of a child growing up in a family of migrant farm workers. It brings to life the day-to-day existence of people facing the obstacles of working in the fields and raising a family in an environment that is frequently hostile to those who have little education and speak another language. Assimilation brings its own problems, as the original culture is attenuated and the quality of family relationships is comprimised, consequences that are not inevitable but are instead a series of choices made along the way. It is also the story of how the author overcame the disadvantages of this background and found herself.

Family Ethics: Practices for Christians (Moral Traditions)





How can ordinary Christians find moral guidance for the mundane dilemmas they confront in their daily lives? To answer this question, Julie Hanlon Rubio brings together a rich Catholic theology of marriage and a strong commitment to social justice to focus on the place where the ethics of ordinary life are played out: the family. Sex, money, eating, spirituality, and service. According to Rubio, all are areas for practical application of an ethics of the family. In each area, intentional practices can function as acts of resistance to a cultural and middle-class conformity that promotes materialism over relationships. These practices forge deep connections within the family and help families live out their calling to be in solidarity with others and participate in social change from below. It is through these everyday moral choices that most Christians can live out their faith-and contribute to progress in the world.
