When the water froze into ice it was expanding (thermal expanision) causing the 100 grams of ice to have a greater volume than 100 grams of water!

How do you get the specific gravity of a mineral?

Fill a beaker with water, and weigh it. Weigh a sample of the mineral. That's the mass of the mineral. Put the sample in the beaker and weigh that. The weight of the water-filled beaker plus the weight of the mineral sample will be greater than the weight of the beaker with mineral sample and water. The difference is the weight of the displaced water, in grams. The volume of the mineral sample, in cubic centimeters is equal to the weight of the displaced water, in grams. Calculate the specific gravity of the mineral by dividing the weight of the mineral sample by the volume of the mineral sample. Example: your beaker weighs 40 grams. Filled with water, it's 1040 grams. The sample of mineral weighs 160 grams. The beaker with the sample of mineral and water weighs 1179.7 grams. The mineral, and the beaker with water would have a combined weight of 1200 grams, but the beaker with mineral and water weighs 20.3 grams less than that, so the mineral sample is displacing 20.3 cubic centimeters of water. Given a mass of 160 grams and a volume of 2.03 CC, the specific gravity would be found by dividing 160 by 20.3. It's 7.85. (Which happens to be the specific gravity of some iron.)


Why does erosion of a riverbed increase so much during flood times?

There is a much higher volume of water, and increased speed in a river that is in flood. This increase in force will move stones and boulders, scouring the river's bed.


What is the relationship between the depth of warm water at the surface of the ocean and the intesity of a hurricane?

Generally speaking the greater the depth of the warm water, the stronger the hurricane can get. Is is because a greater depth means a greater volume of warm water to supply energy for a hurricane.


How many grams of calcium chloride would you add to water for a totoal volume of 500 ml to make a 5 percent solution?

Take 5 grams of calcium chloride and dissolve it in 100ml of solution to get a 5% solution of calcium chloride. The standard way to make a weight-volume solution is to take grams of the dry substance in 100ml of volume.


What is the volume in liters of a kilogram of ice at 0 degrees Celsius?

1kg = 1000g ice will have volume: Density = mass /volume Volume = mass / density Volume = 1000/0.92 Volume = 1,086.95ml = 1,087ml 1,087 ml = 1.087 liters.

100 grams is always equal to 100 cubic centimeters?

100 grams of water at standard temperature and pressure has a volume of 100 cubic centimeters or 100 millilitres. The volume of 100 grams of any other substance will depend on its specific gravity or density: if less than that of water, it will have a greater volume; if greater than that of water, it will have a smaller volume.


Grams converted to milliliters?

Depends on the substance. A gram of lead will have a lot less than a ml of volume, while a gram of oxygen will have a greater volume than 1 ml. Water is 1 ml per gram, but that changes with the temperature of the water. Warm water, and very cold water (<4o C) will have a somewhat greater volume than 1 ml per gram weight.


405 grams equals how many ml?

405 grams of water equals 405 milliliters of water. This only holds true for water. You are converting from weight to volume which depends on the density of the substance in which you are interested. Water has a density of 1 gram per cubic centimeter (identical to a milliliter), so the conversion is one to one. Significantly, if you have 405 grams of sand, you will get a much smaller volume (approximately 270 ml) since sand's density is greater than water. Similarly, 405 grams of flour makes a volume greater than 405 ml because the density is lower than that of water.


How many ml is 2 grams?

It's not that easy. -Grams is weight and ml is volume. The gram and ml are ONLY directly related in weight/volume of water,( 1 litreof water weighs 1 Kilogram, so any amount of ml is the same in grams,-but ONLY for water ! If your medium is flour, the volume is much greater, if sand volume is much smaller.


What is the density of an object that has a mass of 350 g and a volume of 95 cm3 Would this object float in water Explain.?

Density is calculated as Mass / Volume. Therefore for an object that has a mass of 350 grams and a volume of 95 cm^3, the density would be 3.684 g/cm^3. Water has an estimated 1g/cm^3 density, therefore the density of this object is greater than that of water and would sink.

Which has greater volume water or alcohol?

alcohol has a greater volume because when you combine the two substances together water will desolve


Does water with a greater volume cool faster than water with a less volume?

NO


Why it is easier to float in sea water than in fresh water explain this in light of density?

Salt water has a greater density, therefore, it can support a larger weight (for an object of the same volume).
