When water in liquid form is cooled, the molecules come closer and closer together, increasing its density to a maximum at 4 degrees Celsius.

(Further cooling slightly decreases the density until Zero dgrees Celsius. At that temperature, water molecules start sticking together in rings of six molecules. These take up more room than molecules simply bunched together, so ice is less dense than liquid water.)

What is the density of water in m. k. s. system?

Density of water is approximately one gram per cubic centimeter(1gm/cm3) in MKS system .Further density is dependent on temperature of water.


What is intensive property of thermodynamic system?

Intensive properties are independent of the mass of the system. Examples include (but are not limited to) temperature, density, and specific enthalpy.


What is a result to increasing the temperature of a gas?

In a closed system the pressure increase. In other conditions the volume increase and the density decrease.


Is humidity an extensive property?

Humidity is an intensive physical property, since it is independent of the size of the system and of the amount of material within the system. Other examples are: temperature and density.


What is temperature made of?

Temperature is a physical property of matter that quantitatively describes common notions of hot and cold. It generally tells us how fast molecules are moving with respect to each other. Temperature is related to the entropy of a system; formally defining it would require knowledge of statistical thermodynamics.


What are the defining technical components and characteristics of an enterprise system?

Defining technical component and characteristics of an enterprise system vary. They do include, however, software applications that also vary. This is my best answer.


How does temperature put wind in motion?

Temperature rising and falling increases or reduces air (density) pressure. Air will move from a high pressure to a low pressure system to balance it out. That movement is wind.


What are two factors same for the density of a pure substance to stay constant?

Density is an intrinsic property of each type of material, defined as the total mass divided by the total volume. Obviously, two samples of the material which have the same mass and same volume will have the same density, but that is not that answer to this question. This question is about the thermodynamic state of a material and the answer is temperature and pressure. The thermodynamic state of a system is a set of properties that are reproducible when the thermodynamic variables have been specified. Density is one such property. Specifying the temperature, pressure and specifying the quantity and type of material of a system determines density at equilibrium. The equilibrium condition is critically important in that assertion. It is a fundamental premise of thermodynamics that the state of a simple system at equilibrium can be completely characterized by specifying two independent property variables, such as temperature and pressure, and the quantities of the chemical constituents. Any system then with the same thermodynamic state has the same intrinsic properties such as density, heat capacity, thermal conductivity, viscosity, and other characteristics.


What happens to a substance when the pressure goes up?

The substance will be compressed (increase in density) and if the compression is adiabatic, the temperature will go up since there is work being done on the system.

What is the unit of density and unit of relative density?

In SI system, unit of density is kg/m3 But no unit for relative density as it is the ratio of density of the material to that of water
