Volume is not a conservative (addable) property of matter like mass and energy is.

Try this experiment:

Put together

  • 1 litre of tabel-tennis balls (in a container of 1 liter)

    and drop

  • 1 liter of fine dry powdery sand (or salt or sugar)
and the total volume will hardly increase because most sand will take space between the balls.

Is water heavier than methanol?

No, water is heavier than methanol. Water has a higher density compared to methanol, which means that for the same volume, water will weigh more than methanol.


What does a mixture of acetic acid and methanol create?

it forms a non ideal solution having negative deviation.. Pure acetic acid has intermolecular attraction, by adding methanol it increases the intermolecular attraction forces in solution. Which decreases the vapour pressure of solution so (P total < Pacetic acid + Pmethanol).. More over attractive force increase so it decreases the enthalpy of solution i.e. its an exothermic mixing (enthalpy change on mixing < 0).. Since attraction increases, the Total volume also decreases i.e. 10 ml + 5 ml = 14.90ml (volume change on mixign < 0)


How does methanol react with water?

Methanol is miscible with water, which means it can mix in any proportion. When methanol is added to water, it forms a homogenous solution due to hydrogen bonding interactions between the methanol and water molecules. This allows methanol to dissolve easily in water.


When water at zero degree Celsius is heated its volume?

When water at zero degrees Celsius is heated, its volume initially decreases until it reaches its maximum density at 4 degrees Celsius. Beyond this temperature, as the water continues to heat up, it expands and its volume increases.


What is the specific gravity of a methanol-water mixture?

The specific gravity of a methanol-water mixture depends on the ratio of methanol to water. Generally, a mixture with more methanol will have a lower specific gravity than pure water.

What is the percent by volume of 25 ml of methanol in 75 ml of water?

With 25ml methanol and 75ml water, there is 100ml in total. So there is 25/100 = 25% by volume methanol.

Would Solutions of water and methanol makes hazy liquid?

Water and methanol are completely miscible (they will dissolve into each other in any proportion). A mixture of water and methanol will always form a clear solution (after sufficient mixing) unless there are impurities in either to start off with.


What is the percent volume of 25 mL of methanol in 75 mL of water?

25%


What is the final percent concentration of the solution when 600 ml of 100 percent methanol added to 4400 ml of water?

The final percent concentration of the solution would be approximately 12.0% methanol. This is calculated by dividing the volume of methanol by the total volume of the solution (600 ml / 5000 ml) and then multiplying by 100 to get the percentage.


When temperature decreases what does the volume of liquid water do increase or decrease?

The volume of water increase under 3,98 oC.

When a submarine pumps water out of its floatation tanks its density decreases and it floats. why its density decreases?

The water is replaced with air which is not as heavy as water for the same volume.


Why does methanol show an exothermic reaction with water at room temperature while it gives an endothermic reaction with water in cold conditions?

Methanol can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, leading to an exothermic reaction due to the release of energy when the bonds are formed. In colder conditions, the stronger hydrogen bonds between water molecules dominate, requiring energy to break these bonds to accommodate methanol molecules, resulting in an endothermic reaction.


Why mixing honey and hot water become like jelly?
