As water eats up, it expands. There is still the same amount of water, but now in a larger space so it is less dense than cold water.

Is hot water less dense than cold water?

Yes, because the higher the temperature, the faster and more spread out the molecules, therefore making hot water less dense than cold water.

Why does die spread quiker in hot water to cold water?

Because the hot water is less dense than the cold water, so the dye molecules have a better chance of making it through the less compact hot water.


Why does your cold water have water flow but hot water has no flow?

It is a matter of density cold water is denser(compact) that hot water. thus cold water will flow faster than less dense(loose)hot water.


Which weighs more cold water or warm water?

If you think to density (not weight) hot water is less dense.


Which is less dense cold air or cold water?

cold air because when the temperature drops hot air rises and cold air comes to ground level,cold water and hot water have the same density.


Why is trickling cold water noisier than trickling warm water?

Cold water is more dense that hot because it's closer to being a solid, while the hot water is less dense as it is near the gaseous state and the resulting impact with itself (the trickling) is not as hard as cold water's.


can hot water float on cold?

Yes, as hot water is less dense than cold water so it will float on top of cold water. Over time the temperatures will equalise due to natural conduction and convection.


How is the density in hot water different from that in cold?

Above 4 degrees C, the hotter it is then the less dense.


In geyser system why cold water enter the boiler from bottom?

First of all, there are two principles:1.hot water is less dense and rises up2.cold water is more dense and goes down.so when water becomes hot, it rises up and replaces the cold water which comes down. That is why cold water enters from the bottom.


Why does hot water float above cold?

In hot water the molecules vibrate faster than cold, resulting in the same number of molecules taking up a larger space. This means that hot water is less dense than cold water, and thus floats above the cold water.


Is warm or cold water denser?

its according to what other temperature of water you are comparing it to. water is densest at 4 degrees C so water that is colder then 4 degrees C is technically less dense then water at 4C. in that case the warmer water is denser. but if you mean warm water to be >4C and cold water to be colder then warm water, but not below 4C, then cold water is more dense then warm water. but the question you are probably trying to get answered would have an answer of cold is denser
