How will the mass of the water be affected when the waterfreezes?

There is no effect of freezing on the mass of water when it freezes. The thing which is affected by freezing is its volume and hence, it's density.

What is the density of water affected by?

Temperature and Salinity


What are waters properties affected by?

Water properties are affected by factors such as temperature, pressure, impurities, pH level, and presence of dissolved minerals. These factors can influence the density, freezing point, boiling point, and pH of water, as well as its ability to dissolve other substances and its surface tension.


What is so special about salt water?

The density, freezing point etc. are different compared with pure water.


What two factors affect ocean salinity?

Freezing point (more salt the lower the freezing point). Density (more salt, the heavier the water).


Why does ice float and what is the significance of this?

This means that the density of ice is lower than that of water. Its significance is that the density of ice decreases when water undergoes freezing. As density is equal to mass per unit volume, thus this means that there is an increase in volume due to expansion during the freezing process.


Why does water have reduced density when frozen?

An explanation is that during freezing the structure of the ice is modified.


How do altitude affect freezing melting and boiling points of water?

As altitude increases, the air pressure decreases. This results in lower boiling points for water because there is less atmospheric pressure pushing down on the water. However, the freezing point of water is not significantly affected by altitude.


What factors can effect the density of water?

Factors that can affect the density of water include temperature, pressure, and the presence of impurities. As temperature decreases, water becomes denser until it reaches its maximum density at 4°C. Increasing pressure will also increase the density of water. Impurities, such as salt, can also alter the density of water by changing its composition.


How is temperature affected by water?

In warm temperature water enlarges, but in cold temp it becomes more dense reaching maximum density at 4 degrees Celsius it then begins to expand again as it reaches freezing point (0 deg. C). This is why ice floats.


Will cold water affect the plaster?

Pool plaster in generally not affected by cold water, cold water above freezing of course.
