Best Answer

Water has three states

Solid (ice)

liquid (water)

gas (steam)

When water is heated it expands and when it is cooled it contracts until about 4 degrees Celsius when it begins to expand again.

So the answer to your question is it depends on what temperature the water is. If it is a liquid and over 4 degrees then it will expand. If it is not frozen but somewhere between 0 and 4 degrees it will contract until about 4 degrees and then expand. Under 0 degrees it is ice not water, over 100 degrees it is steam not water.

When heat is increased does the chemical reaction speed up?

The effect of heat on a chemical reaction will depend on whether the chemical reaction is exothermic (producing heat), or endothermic (requiring an input of heat). If the reaction is endothermic, then adding heat will increase the speed, but the opposite is true for an exothermic reaction.
