What else can I help you with?
Why do you think water is less dense when frozen and more dense at room temperature?
because ice floats on water
Does ice float because water becomes more or less dense when its frozen?
The structure of frozen water (ice) is less dense than the random arrangement of the water molecules in liquid water, thus ice floats because water becomes less dense when it is frozen. Because of buoyancy forces, an object placed in a liquid will float if it is less dense than the liquid and sink if it is more dense.
What characteristics of water is most responsible for the sinking of the Titanic?
frozen water being less dense than liquid water
Does frozen water increase in size when melted?
Yes, frozen water (ice) is less dense than liquid water, so it actually increases in size when melted. This is why ice cubes float in liquid water.
Does dense water sink or rise in comparison to less dense water?
Dense water sinks in comparison to less dense water.
Is hot water denser than frozen water?
Yes, water is unique in that it is the only substance that expands when frozen. Therefore ice will be less dense in terms of water molecules than room temperature water or heated water
Why is water less dense in frozen form than liquid?
Under 4 0C the volume of water increase and also the density decrease.
Is icebergs more or less dense than water?
Icebergs are less dense than water because they are made mostly of frozen freshwater, which has a lower density than liquid water. This causes icebergs to float in water with a portion of their mass sticking out above the surface.
Is frozen water more dense?
no it isnt
Is water denser when it's frozen than when liquid?
No. I*f it were, ice would sink in a glass of water. As water freezes, it expands, and becomes less dense.
Is ice or water less dence?
Ice is less dense than water. When water freezes into ice, the molecules arrange themselves in a pattern that makes ice less compact, causing it to take up more space and be less dense than liquid water.
What happens to frozen water that is different from most frozen liquids?
Frozen water (ice) is less dense than liquid water, which is why it floats. When water freezes, its molecules form a crystalline structure that causes it to expand, unlike most liquids that contract when they freeze. This expansion is why ice floats on water.
