When too much water moves into a cell it will burst and die.


What are the disadvantages of expansion?

Well,the well known negative affects of anamolous expansion are:- 1.Due to anamolous expansion the pipes usually burst in winter,because the expansion of water in winter is much more than is much more than the expansion of pipes. to avoid bursting the pipes are covered wid insulating material.

Why do pipes burst at an extremely low temperature?

When water freezes it expands, as opposed to practically all other liquids. (For this reason ice fortunately forms on the TOP of ponds and lakes.) The expansion causes pressure to build up that could eventually burst the pipe. However, most water pipes burst because, as the ice builds up in the direction of the pipe, the water pressure continues to build up downstream from the growing volume of ice, that is between the ice and the faucet's. (Water pressure does not appreciably increase upstream as there is much more water on this side.) This enormous buildup of pressure can eventually cause the strongest of pipes to burst. It is a good idea to leave a faucet dripping if the pipe leading to it is in danger of freezing. Not only does this significantly reduce the chance of the water freezing in the pipe, but it keeps the water pressure from building up to dangerous levels that can cause bursting.


Is yellow brass safe for water pipes?

It is safe, but it will rot out. It is used to prevent electrolysis, but that is pretty much it nowadays. Pex is more commonly used for water pipes.


Question 7 text A cell wall stops a plant cell from taking in so much water that it will burst?

A cell wall does stop a plant cell from taking in so much water that it will burst. This is possible because of homeostasis.


Are no lead water pipes less quality than pipes containing lead?

Lead was used for water pipes because it is cheaper, more malleable, and more flexible, and can be welded together easily. But it should not be used for water pipes of any kind because of the risk of water contamination. Metals such as copper are more expensive but superior in performance, and modern PVC is much lighter and easier to use for drainage pipes, and for pipes not carrying great pressure.


why do u get hiccups from drinking water to fast?

Why do water pipes burst during earthquakes?

Water pipes tend to fracture or crack when an earthquake occurs rather than burst (something bursts when the pressure applied to it's internal surface gets to large and exceeds the strength of the material is is formed from - a bit like if you force to much air into a balloon). Pipes tend to fracture because the seismic waves make the ground move up and down, backwards and forwards and side to side. This causes the pipe to be bent in differing directions as well as being squashed and stretched. These compression, shear tensile and torsion force will, if they are large enough, create stresses within the pipe wall that are large enough to break it, forming a crack.


What is the chemistry behind ice?

It is still H2O, only the particles are much more dense. I disagree, If ice were LESS dense than water, it wouldn't burst pipes when the water freezes. For those needing further proof, ice floats on water, so it has to be less dense.
