When water freezes, it expands by about 15%, becoming less dense and taking up more volume. That's why ice floats.
If you freeze a given quantity of water, the volume increases. When it melts, the volume decreases. The number of molecules remains the same.
An ice bottle is heavier than a water bottle because ice has a higher density than water. The same volume of ice will weigh more than the same volume of liquid water because ice molecules are more tightly packed together. When water freezes into ice, it expands and becomes more compact, leading to greater weight in the same space.
The liquid has the same mass but less volume than the ice.
When ice melts, it transforms from a solid to a liquid, which results in a decrease in volume. The molecules in the solid ice are packed more tightly than in the liquid water, leading to a lower volume when the ice melts.
No, the volume of ice cannot be smaller than the water.
The water takes up more space than the ice cube. When water freezes into ice, it expands and takes up slightly more volume than it did in its liquid form.
One cup of ice chips is not exactly equal to 180 ml of water because ice occupies more volume than the same amount of water due to its lower density. When ice melts, it produces water, but the volume of ice chips will not translate directly to the same volume of liquid water. Generally, one cup of ice chips may contain less liquid water when melted than the initial volume might suggest.
Its actually quite simple. The answer would be Anomalous expansion of Water, which means that the volume the Ice cubes are consuming in a glass filled upto the brim is more than water alone. When Ice melts and comes back into water form, it uses lesser volume (space) in the glass. Hence it does not allow the glass to overflow as the person pouring into the glass had poured in keeping into view the level of the ice (which uses more volume).
The volume of ice created from 200cc of water is also 200cc. When water freezes, it expands slightly, but the volume change is minimal. Therefore, the volume of ice formed will be very close to the volume of water initially used.
Water is more dense than ice. That's why ice floats in water. As the ice melts, the water level rises, but it never gets as high as the highest peak of the floating ice was.
4 ounces of water will take up more space than 4 ounces of ice, as water is a liquid and ice is a solid. When water freezes into ice, it expands, increasing its volume.
Yes, that is correct. This is because the water molecules in liquid form are more densely packed compared to the same volume of ice, which has a more open structure due to the arrangement of molecules in a crystalline lattice.
