The density of most things increases as they cool.
The interesting thing about liquid water is not that it does that, but that it goes through a maximum and begins decreasing again at about 4 degrees Celsius.

Is steam in the liquid state?
Steam doesn't cool off liquids because it is the release of thermal energy from the water, and that is why, it is therefore hot. If the steam is coming off the liquid itself, it is heat being released by the liquid, but the liquid is not necessarily getting cooler. Think of water boiling on a stove. There may be plenty of steam coming off the water, but the water continues to boil. Subjecting a cool liquid to steam will certainly not cool the liquid.
What is the process that involves water vapor in the atmosphere becoming liquid water?
It is called Condensation. its when warm water vapor hits the cool air and the temperature drops. causing it to convert back to a liquid.
How can you make a gas into a liquid?
You must either increase the temperature of the liquid or decrease the pressure acting on the liquid (i.e., decrease the air pressure).
How to change water vapor back to liquid?
If the water vapour comes in contact with a surface and is allowed to cool and condense, it will turn back to liquid. For example, if you were to boil a pot of water with a lid on top, the water vapour would rise, touch the underside of the pot lid and condense to form droplets (liquid).
What is the change in the physical state of both lavender oil vapour and water vapour as they cool?
they turn from gas to liquid
How cooling water effects its density HELPPPP?
When you cool water its density will increase as it will become more dense.
How do you increase the density of water?
Cool the water down to 4 degrees C. Water is at its densest at 4 degrees, which is why the bottom of lakes will almost always be 4 degrees.
To change a gas to a liquid you?
Cool it down or increase the pressure (or both)
Is the density of water more when it is cool?
yes, yes it is
Jamil Gibbons Phone Number?
Density is due to the amount of atoms in given space (grams per cubic centimeter). When we cool water, the water molecules move closer together (and more slowly) leading to an increase in density in cold water. When we heat water, they gain energy and move farther apart (and move faster), lowering the density of the water.
How to cool a glass of hot liquid?
If the liquid is not very hot, stand it in a container of water. Leave it in a cool place. Direct cool air onto it.
How do you cool water to below the melting point and still have liquid water?
== ==
What is really cool about water?
Water is the only liquid that expands when frozen.
Can liquid nitrogen be used for cooling water?
Yes, If you pass liquid nitrogen through water, it will cool the water. It will cool it to the point of freezing and then down to about -300F if you continue to pass it through the ice.
Why evaporisation slow in refrigerator?
Evaporation is caused by liquid getting heated up into gas. refrigerators cool the temperature down and increase the time it takes for water to evaporate.
Why water is called a super cool liquid?
It isn't called that.
How would you change gas back to liquid water?
You have to cool it.
