when it is in the form of ice. When water freezes it expands. If a rock has a crack in it and water goes in the crack and freezes, it will expand and melt over and over. eventually it can split the rock.

How does hot water expand?

as we heat water,its temperature rises and the molecules start acquiring energy and collide with each other at an increasing rate..this makes water to expand..


What makes the water to expand as it cannot evaporate?

Raising the temperature dilatation is favored.


What happens to the molecules of water when the temperature of the water increases?

When the temperature of water increases, the molecules of water move faster and farther apart, causing the water to expand and eventually turn into steam.


Can cold water make orbeez bigger?

No, cold water will not make Orbeez bigger. Orbeez absorb water regardless of its temperature and will expand in size when placed in water. Temperature does not affect the expansion process.


What happens when a door expands?

A door expand when the wood absorb water and during variations of the temperature.


Do solids change volume?

Most solids expand as they increase in temperature and contract as they get colder. Interestingly, water after it freezes will start to expand as it gets even colder.


Temperature at which water posses max density?

32.1 degrees. Right before it freezes, and starts to expand.


Do water pipes in homes expand and contract?

Yes, water pipes in homes can expand and contract due to changes in temperature. When pipes are exposed to heat, they expand, and when they cool down, they contract. This expansion and contraction can lead to stress on the pipes, potentially causing leaks or damage over time.


What will happen to a tied balloon that has dry ice inside it when it is placed in room temperature water?

The balloon should expand because the frozen carbon dioxide (dry ice) will sublime into carbon dioxide gas when placed into the room temperature water. The gas will expand, causing the balloon to expand.


Which liquid expand on heating?

All liquids expand on heating (apart from water between 0oC to 4oC)


Why do crystals of snow formed from a snow making maching even though the temperature of the mixture of water and air may be well above the freezing temperature of water?

The water molecules expand when they are blown out. When this happens, the mixture turns into snow.


Do solids expand at the same rate?

No all solids do not expand at same rate because some solid expand at less temperature and some solids expand at less temperature. For example if we take iron and plastic iron expands at high temperature and plastic melt at less temperature(at candle light also).
