Yes, frozen water (ice) is less dense than liquid water, so it actually increases in size when melted. This is why ice cubes float in liquid water.

Does one gallon of water weigh more if it is frozen?

Well, honey, water is water whether it's frozen or liquid, so a gallon of frozen water weighs the same as a gallon of liquid water. The only difference is the temperature and state of matter, not the weight. So, no need to worry about your freezer breaking the scale!


How can you increase Upthrust?

You can increase upthrust by increasing the volume of water displaced by the object, either by increasing the size of the object or by changing its shape to displace more water. This creates a greater buoyant force opposing the weight of the object, resulting in increased upthrust.


How do the mass and volume of water compare?

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while volume is a measure of the space an object occupies. The mass of water is determined by the amount of water molecules present, while the volume of water is determined by the container it occupies. In general, the mass of water will increase as more water molecules are added, while the volume will increase as the container size increases.


What thing can we do to increase the size of the current the generator produces?

To increase the size of the current the generator produces, you can increase the strength of the magnetic field, increase the speed of rotation of the generator, or increase the number of turns in the generator coil. These factors all contribute to the overall output of the generator.


Why is it that balloon placed in hot water increase in size?

When a balloon is placed in hot water, the air particles inside the balloon gain energy and move more rapidly, causing them to exert more pressure on the walls of the balloon. This increase in pressure leads to the balloon expanding in size as it tries to accommodate the higher pressure from the heated air molecules.

Why does water reduce in size when frozen?

No, water expands in size when frozen. That's why ice floats on water, and why pipe bursts occur when trapped water in them freezes.


Will a balloon filled with water change shape or size when frozen?

If a balloon were completely filled with water, with no extra space, then it will change shape and/or size as the water is frozen. This is because water expands at a rate of 9% when frozen.


What charcteristics do an icicle and a plant have in common?

An icicle and a plant have a few characteristics in common. An icicle can increase or decrease in size. Plants can grow (mitotic reproduction) to increase in size and can break to be reduced in size.


Will the size of an unboiled strip of potato increase when placed in distilled water for 2 hours?

Yes, because the distilled water has higher water potential as compared the the strip potato, so water will enter the potato by osmosis, through a partially permeable membrane, causing it to increase in size (:


Can plant cells increase in size when nuclei or vacuoles on water?

No ... and drinking water will not decrease the breast size either.


Why does reducing solute particle size increase the speed at which a solute dissolves in water?

Reducing particle size results in an increase in surface area. The increase in surface area allows more solvent (water) molecules to interact with the substance, and this increases the rate at which that substance dissolves.
