If you have 100ml of water, when it turns to ice it will become about 109ml in volume, so about a 9% increase in volume after it freezes. When the temperature plummets to a much lower termperature, say -50F, the volume of the ice will decrease by a small amount, about 0.4% from the 109ml tial volume.

∙ 11y agoYes. Since the mass remains the same, the density of ice is less than the density of liquid water and therefore ice floats on liquid water.

∙ 12y agoNo (and this is exceptional) only water turning in ice it is expanding! (about 10%).
That's why ice is floating on water in the Nordic Ice Sea

When ice melts does it expand or contract?
When water turns from water into ice, it actually does expand. Depending on the salinity of the ice, it will however contract slightly (if fresh water) or it will expand slightly and then contract (as the temperature lowers). You'll notice that if your freezer is too cold, the ice cubes in the trays will actually have cracks in them, this is an example of the relief of internal pressure created by the contraction.
Will plastic test test tubes break in the freezer?
They will, if filled with water to capacity and the closed at the top. That is because the water will expand when it turns to ice. But normally they will not break spontaneously.
When do the ice turns into water and when do water turns into ice?
The state of the water depends on the temperature of the water and the surroundings. If the water is below freezing point, the water will begin to freeze, and thaw when the temperature rises above the freezing point.
What solid turns into liquid solution?
Ice/water
Solid turns to luquid?
Yes, for example if an ice cube (solid) melts than that water (liquid) evaporates and turns in to water vapor than the solid did turn into a gas from ice cube to water vapor.

Does water change into ice at its boiling point?
No, it turns into steam. Water turns into ice at its freezing point.
What does melting ice do?
Melting ice turns the ice into water.
What will be cause if the water becomes ice?
if water turns into ice, it will have frozen.
When a solid turns into liquid what is that called?
Melting. Think of ice. When you melt ice, it turns into a liquid, when you freeze ice it turns into a solid. Improved: Melting. Think of ice. When you melt ice, it turns into WATER (a liquid), when you freeze (ice) WATER it turns into a solid, WHICH IS CALLED 'ICE'.
How does ice cause weathering and erosion?
I am not sure :P :The formation of ice from water (the process of freezing) can create a type of mechanical weathering called frost (or ice) wedging. Water percolates into cracks in a rock. Then as the temperature drops (perhaps overnight), the water turns to ice. The crystallization process causes the water to expand as the ice crystals develop. Tens of thousands of pounds of pressure are created as the ice forms. This force causes the crack in the rock to expand, thus breaking the rock into smaller pieces.
How is water and ice the same thing?
Because if ice melts it turns into water
Why the surface of ice raises when it changes from water into ice?
water contracts when cooling until about 4 deg. C. From that temp. further cooling causes the water to expand. as it freezes it continues to expand, that is why ice floats.
Water in space turns into this?
ice
When water freezes?
It turns to ice.
When it freezes water turns into?
ice
