Every substance is unique, for one reason or another. One not-quite-unique, but rare property of water is that, below 4 degrees C, its density decreases as its temperature decreases, and its density increases as its temperature increases. For most substances, across all temperature ranges, density decreases as temperature increases. If you've ever left a can of cola in the freezer too long, and it exploded, it is because the water (the vast majority of the total volume in the can) expands (volume increases as density decreases) as it freezes. The increased volume is more than the can can contain, so the can explodes, and you get frozen cola all over the inside of your freezer, plus a razor-sharp shredded can that will cut you if you're not careful in removing it.

If a substance can be dissolved in water what is that substance said to be?
If a substance can be dissolved in water, it is said to be hydrophilic or water-soluble. This means that the substance has an affinity for water and can form a homogeneous solution when mixed with it.
What substance is unusual because it expands when it goes from a liquid to a solid?
Water is the substance that expands when it freezes. This expansion is due to the unique structure of water molecules, which form a lattice-like arrangement when frozen, causing it to take up more space than when in its liquid state.
Why is water, a non-salt substance, effective at dissolving salts?
Water is effective at dissolving salts because of its unique molecular structure that allows it to surround and break apart the ions in the salt, causing them to separate and dissolve in the water. This process is known as hydration and helps salts dissolve in water even though water itself is not a salt substance.
Why is the ocean water not a pure substance?
Ocean water is not a pure substance because it is a mixture of various compounds and elements such as salt, minerals, dissolved gases, and organic matter. These different components give ocean water its unique composition and properties.
What is one substance that is less dense as a solid compared to a liquid?
Water is a substance that is less dense as a solid (ice) compared to its liquid form. This is due to the unique structure of water molecules in ice, which causes them to form a lattice structure that takes up more space and results in a lower density compared to liquid water.
The weight of displaced water always equals?
water is a unique substance that: 1g=1mL=1cm3
What are water's bad qualities?
Water has several properties that make it a very unique substance. ... the water molecule tends to have a positive charge while the other has a negative charge.
If a substance can be dissolved in water what is that substance said to be?
If a substance can be dissolved in water, it is said to be hydrophilic or water-soluble. This means that the substance has an affinity for water and can form a homogeneous solution when mixed with it.
Is hot water denser than frozen water?
Yes, water is unique in that it is the only substance that expands when frozen. Therefore ice will be less dense in terms of water molecules than room temperature water or heated water
What substance is unusual because it expands when it goes from a liquid to a solid?
Water is the substance that expands when it freezes. This expansion is due to the unique structure of water molecules, which form a lattice-like arrangement when frozen, causing it to take up more space than when in its liquid state.
How sodium chloride is a substance that has similar properties as sodium and chlorine or is it an entirely different substance with its own unique properties?
Sodium chloride is it an entirely different substance with its own unique properties.

What is the mane of the substance that makes plants so unique?
Chlorophyll is the substance that makes plants so unique. It allows photosynthesis to occur inside plant cells.
What is a substance is water?
A substance which absorb a great quantity of water.
