What else can I help you with?
Are there pockets of space between water molecules?
No - just space. The space has no pockets.
Why does ice have a difference difference density than liquid water?
It has a different amount of space between molecules.
Why isn't water denser then ice?
Water is denser than ice.The reason for this is that in liquid water the molecules are disorganized and their is little space between them. In ice the molecules are organized into a hexagonal crystal structure that puts extra space between the molecules.
Does boiling water have oxygen in it?
No,boiling water does not have oxygen . Cold water molecules move slowly meaning there is space between the molecules for more oxygen to dissolve. Hot water molecules move rapidly meaning the space between the water molecules is less avalible for the oxygen molecues to dissolve into.
Does heat affect the ability to dissolve sugar?
Yes, it does because hot water has molecules that spread out in the size that sugar molecules need to fit in between. In cold water, they have molecules have little space and the sugar molecules can't not fit in between.
Why water expands on solidification?
Water expands on solidification because the hydrogen bonds between water molecules in ice are arranged in a hexagonal structure with more space between the molecules compared to liquid water. This results in a decrease in density and an expansion of volume when water freezes into ice.
Why isn't sugar infinitely soluble in water?
Sugar is a polar molecule that can dissolve in water due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. However, there is a limit to how much sugar can dissolve in water because eventually the water molecules become unable to accommodate more sugar molecules, reaching a saturation point. This is influenced by factors such as temperature and pressure.
Why energy is needed to melt ice and how this is explained by the structure of ice and water?
Think about how ice melts into water. By adding heat! Heat is a form of energy, and by adding heat, we can change ice to water. This is explained well by the structures of ice and water. Ice is a solid, and its molecules form rigid networks with space between molecules and are not easily broken. Water is a liquid, and its molecules are constantly moving around one another, leaving little space between molecules. Therefore, when heat energy is added to ice, the rigid bonds between molecules in the ice break, and they are free to move like a liquid.
What is the upward movement of water through a tiny space in response to surface?
Capillary action is the upward movement of water through a tiny space in response to surface tension. It occurs when water molecules are attracted to a surface, causing them to climb against gravity due to cohesive forces between the water molecules.
Why does water expand when cold?
Water expands when it freezes because the molecules arrange themselves in a hexagonal structure, with more space between them compared to the liquid state. This increased space results in the expansion of the substance, causing ice to be less dense than liquid water.
Why do diffusion of a chemical is fastest in air than water?
Diffusion is faster in air than in water because air particles have more space between them, allowing molecules to move more freely and quickly. In water, the molecules are more closely packed, leading to slower diffusion rates due to increased interactions and collisions between molecules.
How does the bonding work between water molecules?
heat transfers to the water molecules
