What else can I help you with?
What is a physical propertie of water?
its liquid and it expands when frozen.
What liquid expands instead of contracts when frozen?
Water is a liquid that expands when it freezes. This is due to the unique structure of water molecules, causing them to form a crystalline lattice when frozen, which takes up more space than liquid water.
What is really cool about water?
Water is the only liquid that expands when frozen.
What happens to water when frozen that doesn't happen to any other liquid?
It expands
Does the volume change when a liquid is frozen?
It increases. Think of water: ice cubes take up more space than does the same amount of water when in liquid form.
Does a cup have the same amount of water after it has been frozen?
No. There are two main differences (and most others follow on from them): the temperature is lower so the frozen water is solid rather than liquid and the density has decreased (the same volume of water will have expanded).
Why does a can of pop expands when frozen?
This is an odd characteristic of water and water-based drinks, that the frozen form of it is less dense than the solid form of it. If frozen water sat in water, then it would float. if any other solid form of a liquid sat in its liquid form, it would sink. Water expands when it freezes, but most elements dont. The "water" inside these cans are already pressured, so when it expands when frozen, its too much for the can to handle and it bursts.
Does a liquid expand when frozen?
Yes, most liquids expand when they freeze. As the liquid cools and reaches its freezing point, the molecules slow down and arrange themselves into a more ordered structure, leading to an increase in volume. Water is one example of a liquid that expands when frozen, which is why ice floats on water.
What substance is unusual because it expands when it goes from a liquid to a solid?
Water is the substance that expands when it freezes. This expansion is due to the unique structure of water molecules, which form a lattice-like arrangement when frozen, causing it to take up more space than when in its liquid state.
Does a gallon of liquid water equal to a gallon of liquid water with ice cubes?
No, not exactly. Water expands when it is frozen, so a gallon containing only liquid water and a gallon containing a mix of liquid and frozen water will have different volumes when the liquid melts. That is, the second gallon will be less full, as the water contracts when it melts.
How much does water expand by when frozen?
twice as much
Does frozen water take up more space than liquid?
Yes, unlike most other liquids which shrink when frozen, water actually expands at about a 9% rate at its freezing point.
