What else can I help you with?
Does frozen water weigh more?
No, frozen water weighs the same as liquid water. When water freezes, it expands in volume but maintains the same mass, so the weight remains constant.
What is the weight difference between a gallon of frozen water and a gallon water?
If there was a gallon of water before it was frozen then it weighs the same. Fresh water has a density of 1Kg/liter Water ice has a density of 0.9167Kg/l A gallon is a volume measurement, so a gallon of ice weighs less than a gallon of water. The short answer is about 380 grammes or 13.5 Oz.
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.
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.
Does one gallon of water weigh more if it is frozen?
Well, honey, water is water whether it's frozen or liquid, so a gallon of frozen water weighs the same as a gallon of liquid water. The only difference is the temperature and state of matter, not the weight. So, no need to worry about your freezer breaking the scale!
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.
Where is the liquid water on the Moon?
There is no liquid water on the moon. There is some evidence that there is frozen water.
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).
What is the process of water to solid?
from liquid water to frozen water
When water frozen gets heavier?
When water freezes, it expands and becomes less dense, causing it to float. This is because the molecular structure of ice forms a crystalline lattice that takes up more space than liquid water molecules. Therefore, frozen water (ice) is lighter than liquid water, which is why ice floats on water.
How do you know when solid and a liquid form a liquid?
When the solid was frozen. e.g Water + ice = water.
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.
