What else can I help you with?
Is the density of any frozen oil less than that of liquid oil?
No. It is more dense.
What happens if a ball made out of frozen kerosene is put into liquid kerosene does it float or sink?
The ball made out of frozen kerosene would likely float on the liquid kerosene since it is less dense than the liquid. When an object is less dense than a liquid, it will float on the surface.
Does ice float because water becomes more or less dense when its frozen?
The structure of frozen water (ice) is less dense than the random arrangement of the water molecules in liquid water, thus ice floats because water becomes less dense when it is frozen. Because of buoyancy forces, an object placed in a liquid will float if it is less dense than the liquid and sink if it is more dense.
Why is snow a solid and not a liquid?
Because it is a frozen liquid, and since it is frozen it isn't liquid.
Does frozen water increase in size when melted?
Yes, frozen water (ice) is less dense than liquid water, so it actually increases in size when melted. This is why ice cubes float in liquid 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.
Does solid liquid have less or more thermal energy?
It has less because you add a solid and liquid together and you get less.
Which frozen liquid will melt the quickest?
The frozen liquid that will melt the quickest is the one with the lowest freezing point, such as ice. Other frozen liquids like alcohol or salt water will take longer to melt due to their lower freezing points.
Why is ice more spread than water?
Ice is less dense than liquid water because of the way water molecules arrange themselves in a rigid lattice structure when frozen. This results in ice taking up more space and being less compact than liquid water, causing it to be more spread out.
What characteristics of water is most responsible for the sinking of the Titanic?
frozen water being less dense than liquid water
What weighs less in space frozen or liquid water?
In a micro gravity, if the mass of each are equal they would 'weigh' the same.
Why does it take longer to boil more liquid instead of less?
Because theres more liquid.
