Does changing the amount of sugar in water affect how quickly and completely it freezes?
Water with sugar in it freezes at a lower temperature. The more the sugar, the lower the freezing point of water.
Why does water have an unusual specific heat?
Because it expands when it freezes.
Is ice's mass more than water when it freezes?
No. Only the volume[size] changes.
Does a volume of water that freezes take up more room than a much thicker liquid like fruit pulp when it freezes?
First, fruit pulp is mostly water. Second, what makes it pulp is solid material suspended in the liquid, so pulp is not completely analogous to plain water. Third, you didn't mention starting volumes of either substance, so if you start with an equal volume of each, you will end up with about the same volume after each freezes.
What chemical causes potholes?
Frost wedging causes potholes to form. Water gets into the cracks and over night the water freezes. Water expands in the crack and in the morning it melts. The process goes on over and over again forming a pothole.This is called Freeze-Thaw Weathering
When water freezes it takes up?
more space
What makes water a powerful cause of weathering?
It takes up more space when it freezes
Why does water expand by 10 percent when it freezes?
Its very unusual for a substance to expand when it freezes, water is just odd that way. Its just a property of water, its moleucles expand in the area they take up and take up more space.
What happens when water enters a crack of a rock and freezes in it?
If it freezes just a little it becomes cold water, but if it freezes more it becomes ice.
What freezes the fastest juice or water?
water because it has more chemicals
What happens to the arrangement of water molecules as water melts and freezes?
When water freezes the molecules come together and become more orderly. When water melts the molecules loosen apart.
Does changing the amount of sugar in water affect how quickly and completely it freezes?
Water with sugar in it freezes at a lower temperature. The more the sugar, the lower the freezing point of water.
What is thermal expasion?
Its when a liquid freezes and expands or contracts. Ex. Water when it freezes has more mass than the liquid

Why do ice cubes not flow?
When water freezes, it expands and takes up more volume than the water did. That's why ice floats in water. When the ice thaws, it contracts, taking up less volume. If you fill a container to the rim with water and then freeze it, the ice will rise above the rim because of the expansion as it freezes. oh i must of read the question wrong. its either that theres not enough ice(more water comes, you can barely see it) or, youre justing drinking while it melts.
Which water freezes faster tap water or salt water?
The fast water beacase it is more pure.
What is a example of ice erosion?
Say some water gets into the crack inn a rock, the water freezes and scince water expands when it freezes the rock cracks even more.
