An explanation is that during freezing the structure of the ice is modified.

Is frozen salt water heavier than frozen water?

The density of saline water is greater than the density of pure water.


What happens to density when an object is frozen?

With the exception of water, the particles of an object move closer together and become a solid. Being closer together makes the density rise once it becomes frozen but the density won't rise if the temperature is lowered and the object is already frozen. When water freezes, the density lowers, making ice float.


Does volume density or mass change when water is frozen then heated?

The density of water changes at different temperatures. As temperature goes up, density goes down.


What happens to water when it is heated up to 100 degrees?

The water becomes 100 degrees and is warm to the touch.


Why does ice have a different density than?

Because ice is a frozen solid and water is not.


Will ice float in gasoline?

No, the density of frozen water is less than petrol's.


How can I determine if pipes are frozen?

To determine if pipes are frozen, check for reduced water flow or no water coming out of the faucet. Look for frost on the pipes or strange odors. You can also tap the pipes to listen for a hollow sound, which indicates they may be frozen.


Why does the ice flaoats in the water?

Water is an unusual compound. When most substances freeze they contract. When liquid water freezes it expands. Density is mass divided by volume. You still have the same amount of matter, but frozen water it takes up a greater volume. Therefore, the density of frozen water is less than that of liquid water. So, it floats.


What is the density of water does the density of water change with varying amounts why or why not?

The density of water is about 1 g/cm3, and it varies with temperature, not amount. Water is most dense at 4 degrees C. Below that temperature, the density of water decreases, so that frozen (solid) water (ice) is less dense than liquid water. This is why ice floats on water.


What is the weight difference between a gallon of frozen water and a gallon water?

If there was a gallon of water before it was frozen then it weighs the same. Fresh water has a density of 1Kg/liter Water ice has a density of 0.9167Kg/l A gallon is a volume measurement, so a gallon of ice weighs less than a gallon of water. The short answer is about 380 grammes or 13.5 Oz.


How can you determine if your pipes are frozen?

To determine if your pipes are frozen, you can check for reduced water flow or no water coming out of the faucets. You may also notice frost on the pipes or strange odors. If you suspect frozen pipes, it's important to act quickly to prevent them from bursting.


What material floats in water but sinks in olive oil what is the material?

It depends on how the ice was frozen, but ice (frozen water) will float in water and will probably have a greater density than olive oil, so it will sink in olive oil.
