Fill a gallon milk jug with water, and put the cap on securely. Place in the freezer overnight, and the jug will split open when it freezes.
Yes, it is possible.
When water freezes it increases in volume by %6. That pressure can destroy its' container.
Volume increases, and there is a change of phase from liquid to solid.
Water is unique. It expands in volume when heated, and also expands in volume when frozen (hence, burst water pipes (unless insulated) when there is a thaw after freezing winter weather).
If density = mass/volume, and your volume increases while mass remains the same... Then the denominator increases which would decrease the density
Water increases in volume as water expends on freezing.
Fill a vessel to the brim, stick it in the freezer. When frozen, observe how the surface of the ice now bulges over the brim of the vessel.
Yes, it is possible.
When a gas is heated, its' volume increases.
The volume either increases or decreases
The mass of ice after freezing will be the same as the mass before freezing. The volume however, will be greater as ice than it was as liquid water.
The liquid vaporizes and the temperature increases as the volume also increases.
When water freezes it increases in volume by %6. That pressure can destroy its' container.
A liquid becomes a solid when the temperature reaches is freezing point.
Volume increases, and there is a change of phase from liquid to solid.
Water is unique. It expands in volume when heated, and also expands in volume when frozen (hence, burst water pipes (unless insulated) when there is a thaw after freezing winter weather).
- At the freezing point water become from a liquid a solid.- Freezing is accompanied by an expansion, the volume is greater.- Freezing is a physical process, the nature of the molecule remain unchanged.- Water freezing is an endothermic process.
