How does the volume of a kilogram of water when change when it freezes?

it changes because when it freezes, the molecules within the water slows down thus changing the placement of it, which also changes the over size or volume of water.


What happens to volume of water when it freezes?

it remain the same as it has definite volume.


How much volume equals one kilogram?

That depends on the substance that the kilogram is made of. A kilogram of air has a large volume. A kilogram of water has a medium volume. A kilogram of lead or stones has a small volume.


What happens to the mass when water freezes?

No, as long as it is the same peice of ice. The volume and the density change but not the mass


When water freezes what does the volume do?

Increases.


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).


Is volume of water higher when it freezes?

Yes.


What happens the volume of water when freezes?

Increases.


Does the mass change as a substance goes through a phase change?

Mass is conserved. Volume changes slightly, so density changes as well, but mass remains the same.


What happens to the volume of a water balloon when it freezes?

When water freezes, it expands as it turns into ice. This expansion causes the volume of the water balloon to increase, which can lead to the balloon bursting if the ice takes up too much space.


What properties change when water freezes to ice?

When water freezes to ice, it becomes less dense, expands in volume, and forms a crystalline structure. Additionally, its molecules slow down and move into a more ordered arrangement, resulting in a solid state.


When water freezes it's mass decreases?

When water freezes, its mass does not actually decrease; it remains constant. However, the volume increases because ice is less dense than liquid water, causing it to expand. This phenomenon is why ice floats on water. The misconception may arise from observing the change in volume rather than mass.
