Could you help us do an experiment When freezing water does the shape of the container have any effect on the rate at which the water freezes?
I need some help with some homework for my child.
How much time does it take water to freeze?
That depends on the amount of water, the temperature, the shape of the container that holds the water.
What is a form of matter that does not have a definite shape or definite volume?
Water does not have a definate shape or volume because it takes the shape of any container it is put into.
What state of matter changes shape when placed into a container?
Both a gas (carbon dioxide) and a liquid (water) will take on the shape of the containers.
Describe an experiment you can perform at home to show that the force of expansion can be great?
Fill an empty soda can or plastic bottle with cold water, and stand the full containerin the freezer.Later, after the water in the container has frozen solid, the container most likely hassplit or broken open, as the freezing water expanded.
Does the shape of the container affect the rate of water?
YesYes
How does the shape of the container affect the freezing rate of water?
The amount of water in a container will affect how fast it heats up. If there is a small amount of water in a container the water will biol/heat faster. However, if there is a big amount of water it will take longer for the heat to reach all parts of the water resulting in a longer time for the water to boil/heat
Does the shape of container affect the time it takes for water to evaperate?
Yes and no. The shape can affect how efficiently the water is being heated and how efficiently the evaporated water can escape a vessel. An almost completely sealed water container will show very little signs of evaporation because any water that evaporates will soon condense back into the container. The evaporation is still happening, it's just not as observable or relevant because the evaporation cannot leave the system efficiently.

The shape of the water molecule H2O?
Well, there is no shape to water. If you have a container the water takes on the shape of the container, but that is not the waters shape, it is the container that the water is in. So even though the water has formed into a shape, it is that containers shape and not the water's shape.
What takes the shape of its container and has no defined shape?
water
What is the shape of a liquid?
A liquid takes the shape of any solid that it is contained within. For example water within a square container will appear square, but water within a triangular container will appear triangular.
What defines a liquid?
Something that takes the shape of the container it is in. E.g. Water takes the shape of the container which it is in.
When did scientists figure out that water takes the shape of a container?
People have known long before the invention of science that water takes the shape of its container.
Does water have a lopsided shape?
Since water is a liquid, it does not have any definite shape. It takes on the shape of its container.
Why is water call a liquid?
at room temperature, water is considered a liquid because it has a definite volume (it does not expand to fill its container like a gas) but not a definite shape (it takes the shape of its container, as opposed to a solid which keeps its shape regardless of the container it is in).
What is the hydrostatic pressure of freezing water?
When water freezes it increases in volume by %6. That pressure can destroy its' container.
