Its density decreases from that of liquid water from 1g / cc, to 0.9167 g / cc

Volume = mass / density

So: volume of 1g of water = 1/1 = 1 cc

volume of 1 g of ice = 1/0.9167 = 1.0909 cc

So % increase = increase / original volume = 0.0909 / 1 = 9.09 / 100

= 9.09 % increase in volume from liquid water to ice

When water around Antarctica freezes in its winter by how much does it increase the size of the continent in comparison to its summer?

The continent of Antarctica doubles in size, in winter when the sea ice surrounding it freezes.


Why does erosion of a riverbed increase so much during flood times?

There is a much higher volume of water, and increased speed in a river that is in flood. This increase in force will move stones and boulders, scouring the river's bed.


When water turns to ice does it expand?

If you have 100ml of water, when it turns to ice it will become about 109ml in volume, so about a 9% increase in volume after it freezes. When the temperature plummets to a much lower termperature, say -50F, the volume of the ice will decrease by a small amount, about 0.4% from the 109ml tial volume.


How much Celsius water freezes?

Does a volume of water that freezes take up more room than a much thicker liquid like fruit pulp when it freezes?

First, fruit pulp is mostly water. Second, what makes it pulp is solid material suspended in the liquid, so pulp is not completely analogous to plain water. Third, you didn't mention starting volumes of either substance, so if you start with an equal volume of each, you will end up with about the same volume after each freezes.


How much water does 1 cup of ice make?

Water expands slightly when it freezes, so 1 cup of ice will be a little less when it turns back to water, but it is only a small change in volume, and for a rough measurement like a cupful it will hardly be noticeable


Can Water Substitute Coolant in Emergency if it is freezing cold?

No - water freezes at zero degrees Celsius. The alcohol used in coolants freezes at a much lower temperature.
