Water molecules are more spread out and have higher kinetic energy when they are hot, causing them to occupy a larger volume and hence be less dense. When the water cools down, the molecules lose kinetic energy, move closer together, and occupy a smaller volume, resulting in higher density.

When water is heated why it gets less denser?

The particles get further away from each other as water is heated therefore making it less dense


How does temperature affect water?

The temperature and salinity of seawater determine its density. Water gets denser as it gets saltier and reaches a maximum density at 4 °C. Salinity does affect the boiling point and freezing point of water, but not its temperature.


What changes do you think when water heated and cooled?

When water is heated, the molecules gain energy and move more quickly, causing the water to expand and eventually turn into steam. When water is cooled, the molecules lose energy and move more slowly, causing the water to contract and eventually freeze into ice.

What is the unusual behaviour of water when cooled below 4ºC?

Most matter contracts as it gets colder. Water is one of the few substance that expands (from 4 degrees Centigrade to 0).


Why does water get cooled in a earthen pitcher?

This Cooling effect is based on the principle of Evaporative Cooling or simply cooling thru evaporation.....An earthen pitcher has pores through wich water propagates or oozes out and evaporates...the heat required for evaporation is taken up by the liquid itself...hence the heat pays off and the water gets cooled.
