What else can I help you with?
Ice wedging occurs because a given amount of ice has a volume greater than or less than or the same as an equal amount of water?
greater because ice contains more air
Would ice wedging happen if water did not expand as it froze?
No, it would not. Wedging cannot occur if the solid form (ice) didn't occupy a greater volume than the liquid form.
Why a liquid has a definite volume?
It has a definite volume because it keeps the same amount of mass.
Why is volume an extensive property?
Volume is an extensive property because it depends on the amount of the substance. Intensive properties do not depend on the amount of the substance.
In expansion what happens to the volume of an object?
In general, when an object expands, its volume increases. This occurs because expansion involves the individual particles within the object moving further apart from each other, leading to an overall increase in the amount of space the object occupies.
How can you determine the increase in volume on evaporation of any liquid?
I don't understand what you are asking. If evaporation of a liquid occurs then the volume will decrease not increase. Then if you want to measure the amount or volume of liquid remaining (or the amount which has evaporated) then you would simply measure the volume beforehand and the volume after. Is this what you were asking or perhaps you want to know what instrumentation you would use? Padraic
Does the amount of space affect its density?
volume does affect the density because the formula of density= mass/ volume
When milk is transferred from a cartoon to a bowl does the volume change?
No, the volume of milk remains the same when transferred from a carton to a bowl as long as no spillage or evaporation occurs. The amount of milk poured out of the carton into the bowl is equal to the amount initially in the carton.
Why does a small amount of water melt faster than a large amount of water?
A small amount of ice generally melts faster than a large amount of ice because of the difference in surface-area to volume ratios. Heat transfer with the surroundings occurs only at the boundaries of the ice. The rate of melting is thus directly proportional to the surface area. Additionally, the amount of ice to be melted is dependent on the volume. The more ice, the longer it takes to melt. Thus, a small cube of ice will melt faster because it has a greater surface area to volume ratio than a large block of ice.
Do objects of the same volume displace the same amount of water?
Yes, objects of the same volume will displace the same amount of water regardless of their shape or material. This is because the volume of water displaced is determined by the volume of the object that is submerged in the water. This principle is known as Archimedes' principle.
Why is volume extensive?
Volume is extensive because it depends on the amount there is unlike an intensive property such as density because and objects density will never change no matter how much there is of it.
If your volume has changed how will your density change?
If the volume increases, the density will decrease because the same amount of mass is spread out over a larger space. Conversely, if the volume decreases, the density will increase because the same amount of mass is packed into a smaller space. The relationship between volume and density is inversely proportional.
