Ice, like other solids will expand with heat. It has a coefficient of expansion of 50 ppm/°C.
So, the colder the ice is, the smaller, and higher density it will be. The warmer, the lower the density, with the maximum temperature (and lowest density) being at the melting/freezing point.
What else can I help you with?
How does the density of a liquid compare with the density of a solid?
That depends on the liquid and the solid. Liquid mercury has a very high density. Liquid gasoline has a very low density. At the melting point the density of a liquid and a solid are almost the same.
WHAT happens to a solid object with a density that is less than the density of water when it is placed in water?
It floats
If you place a solid in a liquid it will either sink or?
float, depending on its density relative to the density of the liquid. If the solid is denser than the liquid, it will sink. If the solid is less dense than the liquid, it will float.
What evidence do we have that the solid form of water is less dense than the liquid form of water at its freezing melting point?
The fact that ice floats on water is evidence that its solid form is less dense than its liquid form at its freezing/melting point. This is due to the unique arrangement of water molecules in the solid state, where hydrogen bonds create a lattice structure that causes ice to be less dense.
Do gases have low or high density?
Gasses have an incredibly low density, less than a liquid or a solid.
In a solid liquid mixture of this substance will the solid float or sink?
Whether the solid will float or sink in a solid-liquid mixture depends on the relative densities of the solid and the liquid. If the density of the solid is greater than that of the liquid, then the solid will sink. If the density of the solid is less than that of the liquid, then the solid will float.
The density of a liquid form of a material is always less than the density of the solid form of that same material?
Not always - the density of a liquid may be greater or less than that of the solid form depending on the molecular structure and arrangement. For example, water is an exception as its solid form (ice) is less dense than its liquid form.
Why Does an aluminum can float on water but an aluminum pole does not?
Because the overall density of a can is less than the density of water, a solid aluminium pole has a density greater than water
What happends to a solid object with a density that is less than water when it is placed in water?
it floats
Is melting ice more or less dense than polar water?
Except at EXTREME pressures (like over 200 MPa), ice is less dense than liquid water. In the case of polar water this is even more the case since polar water has a fair amount of salt dissolved into it, raising it's density, while the ice is nearly pure water.
Why substances have different melting points?
just because accept it ok!
How do you determine if a solid object is more dense or less dense than water?
To determine if a solid object is more dense or less dense than water, you compare their densities. The density of water is approximately 1 gram per cubic centimeter. If the solid object has a density greater than 1 g/cm^3, it is more dense than water and will sink. If its density is less than 1 g/cm^3, it is less dense than water and will float.
