Is water the only substance that increases in volume when cooled?

No, water is not the only substance that increase in volume when it changes state from liquid to solid. The element gallium is less dense as a solid than as a liquid, to name one. Generally speaking, solids are usually more dense than their liquid forms, but not always. and some other liquids also do

What is As water is cooled its until it reaches about?
Type your answer here... increases
Why does a pool of water have the same density as a cup of water?
density is mass over volume. if the mass increases then the volume increases proportionately.
Does the volume of salty water increase when its temperature increases?
Yes, though it is slight, the volume increase is measurable when the temperature of salt water increases.
When water freezes does it decreases in volume?
No. In fact it increases.
What happens to the volume of water when it freezes?
Water is unique. It expands in volume when heated, and also expands in volume when frozen (hence, burst water pipes (unless insulated) when there is a thaw after freezing winter weather).
What substance has a larger volume as a solid then as a liquid?
Water increases in volume as water expends on freezing.
As water is cooled its density increases until its reaches about what?
Type your answer here... increases
What is the meaning of water density?
Density is mass per unit volume of a substance. The Mass and volume of water is in the ratio of 1:1 .There fore the density of water is 1. With rise and decrease of temperature the volume increases or decreases to change the water density.
As water is cooled its density increases until it reaches about?

When water turns to ice it also?
Increases in volume. Water is the only matter that increases in volume when it coagulates.

Are the mass and volume of a given substance directly or inversely proportional?
Generally speaking when the mass of a substance increases, so does its volume. And vice versa. Therefore mass and volume are directly proportional. If they were inversely proportional one cup of water would weigh more than 2 cups of water.
What happens to the volume of a gas when it is cooled?
When any gas (or gas mixture), including air, is cooled, the molecules will move slower and they will be able to be closer together. The volume needed to store a certain amount of gas will be less. If you cool it enough, it will eventually turn into a liquid.
As water is cooled its density does what until it reaches about 4 C?
As water is cooled its density increases until it reaches about 4 C and then it decreases.
What happen to volume of substance when placed say in a freezer?
A number of factors have to be considered, the state of the substance, solid, gas or liquid. The condensation and freezing point of the substance. The temperature inside the freezer. The pressure Most, but not all, substances reduce in volume and increase in density when cooled. Water for instance, reduces in density when frozen.
When water freezes what does the volume do?
Increases.
What happens to mass when volume increases?
As the density of a substance increases the volume of a given mass of the substance decreases.
