A cinder block floats in mercury and sinks in water?
this is because mercury is much denser than water . this means that there is more of it in a given amount of space then there is water in the same amount of space
Why does water weigh less when frozen?
Water expands slightly when if freezes (due to hydrogen bonding) and the resulting ice is less dense than water.(Actually, the water still weighs the same- it just takes up more space when frozen)
Does frozen water weigh more?
yes!
One liter of water weighs more than 1 liter of ice?
One liter of water weighs more than 1 liter of ice. This is because water expands when it is frozen, thus the liquid water will have more water compared to the ice.
Why does steam take up more space than liquid water?
why does steam take up more space than liquid water
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 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.

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.
Make salt dissolve faster?
Use hot water and more water. Remember though that there is going to be a certain amount of space in the water to dissolve a certain amount of salt. at this point no amount of heating will allow any more to be dissolved and is what is known as a saturated solution.
Is frozen water more dense?
no it isnt
Does frozen water weigh more?
yes!
Why is the density of water temperature dependent?
The temperature of water is determined by the amount of vibration of the water molecules. Heat is random molecular motion. And if molecules are vibrating more, they are also going to occupy more space.
Water weight ice weight?
Water's weight, when frozen into ice stays the same, but the density of water is much higher than ice's, since Ice has the same weight and contents of Water, but takes up significantly more space.
What do you think changes the land more frozen water or flowing water?
flowing,because frozen water is soild and people wouldnt surivie without flowing water
Why the water at the bottom of a pot of simmering water becomes less dense as it is heated?
As water, or any substance, absorbs heat energy, its molecules gain kinetic energy. Because they are moving around more, they take up more space. Density is the measure of how much stuff is in a given space. More space and same amount of stuff equals lower density.
