Best Answer

The maximum density of water occurs at 3.98 °C (39.16 °F)

Solid water, i.e. ice, has a density of 917 kg/m3 , so it is LESS dense than liquid.

The liquid water density is 1,000 kg/m3 (at 4 °C)

Is water denser when it's frozen than when liquid?

No. I*f it were, ice would sink in a glass of water. As water freezes, it expands, and becomes less dense.


When a liquid is frozen will there be more of it or less?

Freezing does not change the mass of a liquid. Its density may change, however. Most solids are denser than their liquid phase. Frozen water, i.e. ice, is less dense, and so floats.

What happens to water when frozen that doesen't happen to any other liquid?

When most liquids change to their solid state, they become denser. However, water freezes and the resulting solid, ice, is less dense than it's liquid state (aka ice floats over liquid water)


How is water different to most substances when it is at freezing point?

Water expands when it freezes. Ice is lighter and denser than liquid water. Ice Floats! Most substances get denser when they turn from liquid to solid.

Is rain colder than hail?

No. Hail is frozen water (solid), and rain is liquid water. Since water freezes and melts at 0 degrees, liquid water would have to be warmer than frozen water.


Is hot water denser than frozen water?

Yes, water is unique in that it is the only substance that expands when frozen. Therefore ice will be less dense in terms of water molecules than room temperature water or heated water
