Density rho = mass / Volume. Water has a density of 1,000 kg/m3 = 1,000 g/L = 1.000 kg/dm3 = 1.000 kg/L = 1.000 g/cm3 = 1.000 g/mL at the temperatur of 3.98 degrees Celsius. Temperature in degrees Celsius and the density of water: 1 999,90
2 999,94
3 999,96
4 999,97
5 999,96
6 999,94
7 999,90 You see the highest number at 4 degrees Celsius.

∙ 14y agoan unusual effect of the density of water is ice sinking because ice should have the volume to stay afloat and the mass should be equal or greater than that of the water it is in.
Virtually all matter gets more dense as it cools. Water does not. Ice is less dense then water. That means ice doesn't sink! If it were not so, life would not exist. The ice would be created and fall the bottom of lakes and such, killing life below.

∙ 12y agoIt was used as a base measurement to compare other substances density. When using it to compare others then instead of density the unit 'specific gravity' is used.
The specific gravity if water is 1.
The density of water was set at 1 gram per cubic centimetre at STP.
Furthermore, water is densest as a liquid at 4 degrees C.

∙ 12y agoAs water freezes into solid ice, the density of the solid is less than that of the original liquid. I believe this is a unique property of water.

The Temperature at which water possesses maximum density is?
At 4C density is maximum.It is measured as 1000Kg/m3.
What is the above property of water is called?
The above property of water is called anomalus
How does the stomata density affect the water loss?
When open, the stomata can release water. The more dense or larger the stomata are, the more water they can release.
What temperature does pure water reach maximum density?
4 degrees Celsius
Why does water attain its maximum density at 4 degrees Celsius?
Water attains its maximum density at about 4°C because it is at that temperature that hydrogen bonds form. The effect of the formation of these bonds is that molecules of water are actually pushed apart and into an alignment scheme (crystals) that prevents them from more closely packing together as in the liquid state. (see related link)
What is special about density?
density ias special because as water frezes the density in the solid is less that before
What is special about Saturns density?
Saturn's density is so low that it can even float on water, it has the less density in all solar objects.
What is so special about salt water?
The density, freezing point etc. are different compared with pure water.
What does density of water mean?
The density of anything is the ratio of the weight (really the mass) to the volume that the material occupies. Water was involved in the original definition of units of mass and volume, so it has a rather special value of density. To a good approximation, the density of water is 1 gram per milliliter.
What density less than one gram per cubic centimeter called?
Any special name: less dense than water, low density.
How are mass and volume related to the sinking and floating of an object?
An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.An object will float - on water for example - if its density is less than the density of water. Density = mass / volume.
Comparing the density of a liquid to the density of water is?
This is the determination of the specific density (the ratio liquid density/water density).
What is density Give density of water?
Density=mass/volume density of water in the whole earth is 1
How is water used in Density?
The density of water is 1.
Density of a pot of water?
The density of water is 1.0
Why is density needed to know whether a substance will float or sink in water?
It's actually pretty easy. If the density of the substance is higher than the density of water, the object will sink. If the density of the substance is lower than the density of water, the object will float. Be aware though that various substances may have dissolved into the water, thus changing its density. For example, seawater has a different density than fresh water.
When you compare the density of water or air with another object how can you tell which has the lower or higher density?
-- If the object floats in water, then its density is less than the density of water. -- If the object sinks in water, then its density is more than the density of water. -- If the object floats in air, then its density is less than the density of air. -- If the object sinks in air, then its density is less than the density of air.
