No, cold water weighs more (for a given volume) than hot water. This is why there is a thermocline in bodies of water. But when water freezes, the solid form weighs even less (for a given volume), this is why ice floats.

Does a liter of water weigh the same as 1 liter of oil?

No. Oil is less dense than water, so 1 liter of oil will weigh less than 1 liter of water.


Is very cold water more or less dense than less cold water?

Water is at its greatest density at 4 oC.


Why does cold water have less volume than cold water?

Cold water has a higher density than warm water, which causes it to have less volume for the same mass. This is because the molecules are closer together in cold water, making it more compact.


Is room temperature water less dense than cold water?

Yes, generally speaking, room temperature water is less dense than cold water. As water cools, it contracts and becomes denser, which is why cold water is often heavier than warm water.


What does hot water have that cold water does not have?

Hot water is less denser than cold water and has a greater temperature.


Why does warm water sit on top of cold water?

Warm water is less dense than cold water, so it sits on top of the cold water. This is because warm water molecules are more spread out and have less mass per unit volume compared to cold water molecules, causing warm water to be less dense and float on top of the denser cold water.

Why fish weigh less in water than in air?

Fish weigh less in water because of buoyancy, which is the upward force exerted by a fluid that counteracts the weight of the object immersed in it. The water exerts an upward force on the fish that partially cancels out the downward force of gravity, making the fish weigh less in water than in air.
