Why is it when you fill a white bathtub in a white bathroom, the water is blue? Chlorine??

It is the chlorine-Water does have a very slight blue tint, but the depth in a tub is not nearly enough to see it.  If you filled your tub with very hot water, and waited a day or so, it sould turn clear, because the chlorine would evaporate out of the water.  Try it and see.

but they are not always white.  You can now purchase soap for making bubbles that are not white, but are specific colors.  I saw it on the news just a couple months ago.

Because of the coriolis effect. However, this is 100% not true. The water could either flow clockwise, counterclockwise or straight down depending on the shape and curvature of the sink/toilet

oh you deep, debonair man  you....I'm filling up the bath tub  with water and sponges right now ... and soaking up the silliness ....lol...

This usually happens in solution, the Chlorine is a chloride ion.\n\nAgNO3(aq) + Cl-(aq) --> AgCl(s) + NO3-(aq)

it's not actually, if you look at the ocean, from the top it is blue becaues it is reflecting the light from the sky.   if you are underwater, it looks blue because the blue light is dispersed the least, meaning that the blue light penetrates farther into the water than the other colors of light.

However unbelievable this may sound, it's true. The nervous system uses electricity of sorts. The water you use to take a shower is not "pure". It has lead in it. Lead is an excellent conductor. When the water comes out of the shower head the molecules are bouncing into the other water molecules as well as the lead molecules. Electricity is actually the breaking off of electrons. You need some kind of force to do that. That's what voltage is and the water molecules are acting as that force. So when you take a shower you also get bombarded with electrons. Just like charging a battery. Those electrons sort of kick your nervous system up a notch for a little bit. Like I said, strange but true.

The water from the bottom is being transformed from liquid to gas and the gas bubbles to the top.  Kinda like when you're in the bathtub and fart.

White things are white because their chemical composition is balanced in such a way that it reflects the full spectrum of colors. The air has oxygen in it. Oxygen is very reactive with a lot of chemicals. As oxygen molecules bond with the chemicals in the white substance, the light is absorbed in different ways. Some wave lengths are reflected and others are absorbed. We commonly see this as a yellowing effect, but fading can result in other colors as well.

i have actually put this one to the test!!!..my father was complaining about the high water bill saying that us girls need to take showers and lay off the bubble baths....so what we did was close the drain while taking an "average" shower and dang it..he was correct...a bath takes more water than a shower...water from a shower spray FEELS like more because it is diverted into ummm well, a spray lol...where as a bath takes full stream water, more heat and to go with his other complaint...we take too long in a bath tub vs a shower lol...hope this helps and try it yourself!! Dont forget the rubber ducky..be well

Nope, it would be chlorine.

"White ppt." refers to a precipitate coming out of solution that has a white color.\nAll sorts of chemicals are white, many salts, and other ionic compounds.  We can only give you a general form of a reaction that will yield a white precipitate and examples of those that do.\n\n[Reactants (aq)] ---> [Products (aq) + products (s)]\nSome reactants react in solution to form some products.  At least one of the products must be sufficiently insoluble to precipitate out.\n\nFor example,\nNaClO3 (aq) + KCl (aq) ---> NaCl (aq) + KClO3 (s) \nSodium Chlorate is very soluble in water, so is Potassium Chloride.  When you mix these solutions together, you yield Sodium Chloride (very soluble) and Potassium Chlorate which is not very soluble at all and precipitates out.  KClO3 by the way is snow white.

The water bath is used to cool the solution to the needed temperature.  You set the beaker or flask in the bath.  Which is basically a pan of water.  The weighing boat is used to keep from putting the chemical directly on the balance. You will need to take the mass of the boat and then subtract this from the mass of the boat and the chemical to get the mass of the chemical.  The wire loop is usually platinum or nickel-chromium it is used to introduce chemicals into flame so that  the color produced can be observed.

Water Closet.  And it makes sense, since bathrooms are basically little closets with water pipes running through.  Careful though!  Bathroom in the UK means a room with a bathtub in it.  So unless you want to shower in the pub, ask for the WC or, better yet, the Toilet.

depends on the bathtub, many are of different size, shape and volume.

that's a great science question...  i believe it has something to do with the fact that the moist, hot air inside the shower is less dense than the colder, dryer air outside.  And the shower curtain is attracted to the less dense air... or it sticks to your leg because the warm air creates a vacuum with the shower curtain and cold air outside...  There's definitely a more complex scientific explanation out there somewhere, but that's beyond my knowledge database.
