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.

What substance has a larger volume as a solid then as a liquid?

Water increases in volume as water expends on freezing.


How do you demonstrate liquid increases in volume on freezing?

When a liquid freezes, it expands and takes up more space. One way to demonstrate this is by placing a sealed container of liquid in a freezer and observing how the container bulges or breaks due to the increase in volume as the liquid solidifies. Another way is to measure the volume of the liquid before and after freezing to see the increase.


What happens to the volume of water when it freezes?

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).


What happened to the volume of the water and the wax after freezing?

At freezing the volume of gas increase.


What is the hydrostatic pressure of freezing water?

When water freezes it increases in volume by %6. That pressure can destroy its' container.


Why do salt melt ice?

This is simply because salt water has a lower freezing temperature than fresh water - as the percetage of salt to water increases the freezing temperature drops. As ice has a lower density than water, less salt is required per volume (as there is less water per volume). For every 1% of salinity the freezing point drops about 1/2 a degree (although it is not linear).


When water turns to ice it also?

Increases in volume. Water is the only matter that increases in volume when it coagulates.


How does freezing water affect the volume and mass of water?

The volume increase, mass does not change.


How does salt affect the melting and freezing point of water?

Salt decreases the freezing point of water and increases the boiling point of water.


When water freezes what does the volume do?

Increases.


Does water volume decrease as it increases in temperature excluding evaporation or boiling in an opposing manner to the increase at freezing?

No it increases in volume as it freezes. This desreases the density of ice to that of water, that is why ice floats on water. and This freezing of water as it freezes can crack open pavement or frost heaving.


Does the volume of salty water increase when its temperature increases?

Yes, the volume of salty water generally increases when its temperature increases because warm water tends to expand and become less dense. The increase in volume with higher temperature is known as thermal expansion.
