A sealed glass container with a capacity of exactly 100ml contains 96.0ml of iquid water at 0C If the water freezes will the container rupture?

Quite probably. Without any temperature change, the 96 ml of liquid water
becomes 104.7 ml of ice, PLUS there's that 4 ml of air in the container, which
the expanding H2O will attempt to compress into less than zero space, and to
which the air will eventually object.

What is the hydrostatic pressure of freezing water?
When water freezes it increases in volume by %6. That pressure can destroy its' container.
When water freezes it changes from a liquid state to a solid in this process?
yes! exactly.
What are the characteristic properties of liquid?
It has a fixed mass and volume, but not shape.
How do you check for pure water?
Boil water and if it boils at exactly 100˚C, it is pure water. Or freeze water and if it freezes at exactly 0˚C, it is also pure.
Why the water taken from sea freezes at about -2 degree celsius and boils at about 101 degree celsius?
It contains salt and other impurities.
What is the capacity of water in an ice cube?
The same as the container that's used to hold the water while it freezes ! An ice-cube can be as small as 1 inch square - or hundreds of feet !
Will a container of hand sanitizer explode if it freezes?
No, it would not!
Does the thickness of a container affect how fast water freezes?
No not really
When water with closed container placed in refrigeratorwhen it gets solid state why the container will break?
When water freezes, it also expands in volume. Unless the container can also expand, it will break, due to the powerful pressure of the expanding water. If water freezes it will expand because the molecules are separated in the container.
You are planning an experiment to find out whether the rate at which water freezes depends on the shape of its container What is the manipulated variable and what is the responding variable?
The manipulated variable is what you change (the shape of the container) The responding variable is the result (the temperature at which the water in the container freezes). (Don't forget the time factor!)
WHY containers effect the way water freezes?
One of the characteristics of a liquid is that unlike a solid it takes the shape of its container, but unlike a gas it doesn't try to fill the entire container. So after water freezes it has (close to) the shape it had when it was a liquid, the shape of its container. Actually water's a bad example because unlike most substances water expands as it freezes due to crystallization, so it often affects the shape of its container.
Why does the change of water from a liquid to a solid cause a container to break?
Water expands when it freezes and the container is less flexible at lower temperatures.
What is a freezer can?
A freezer can is the container part of an ice cream maker in which the ice cream freezes.
When a container of gas is cooled what happens to the gas inside?
Gas pressure decreases when cooling down a closed container.
What is the hydrostatic pressure of freezing water?
When water freezes it increases in volume by %6. That pressure can destroy its' container.
When water freezes it changes from a liquid state to a solid in this process?
yes! exactly.
Will water expand into its shape of its container?
yes when water freezes it expands and takes the shape of whatever you put it in to begin with.
