When water freezes does it take up more space or less space?
The water will expand on freezing, so taking up more space.
Why does water expand by 10 percent when it freezes?
Its very unusual for a substance to expand when it freezes, water is just odd that way. Its just a property of water, its moleucles expand in the area they take up and take up more space.
How can freezing water break a glass?
Because when water freezes, it expands. If there is no other space to take up, it has to push the walls of the container out
Why does steam take up more space than liquid water?
why does steam take up more space than liquid water
Do hot water take up more space than cold water?
Yes until it turns to ice when it take sup more space than hot water.
Why steam takes up more space than liquid water?
why does steam take up more space than liquid water
Would 1 gram of solid ice take up more space than 1 gram of liquid water?
Yes, water expands as it freezes. Liquid water's density is about 1.0 g/mL, but ice's density is 0.92 g/mL. See related link.
Why does water take up more space as steam then it does as liquid water?
Sort of, as steam water spreads around more so you could say that water takes up more space as steam.
Why is it that when water is frozen it takes more space in a container than when it is water the volume increasing?
Because the when water freezes the atoms contract closely together. When the atoms are heated they are again contracted and take up surface area. The size is the same through the whole process but the amount of surface area changes.
Which is denser water or the same water that formed into an ice tube?
Liquid water is denser because when water freezes, the water particles spread out as they solidify. This means that the same amount of particles take up more space, causing the density to decrease. Ice is less dense also because ice cubes float on liquid water. Less dense things float on more dense things.
Does a volume of water that freezes take up more room than a much thicker liquid like fruit pulp when it freezes?
First, fruit pulp is mostly water. Second, what makes it pulp is solid material suspended in the liquid, so pulp is not completely analogous to plain water. Third, you didn't mention starting volumes of either substance, so if you start with an equal volume of each, you will end up with about the same volume after each freezes.
How long do it take salt water or water to freeze and which one freeze quicker?
water freezes faster and only water freezes it takes AGES for salt water to freeze water takes about 4 hours in a freezer
