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)

∙ 15y agoThey don't "react", the molecules just pack closer together as a mix than either one does alone. You'll notice that the weight doesn't change ... so the density must go up.

When water at zero degree Celsius is heated its volume?
Its volume decreases from 0° to 4°, and then increases from 4° to 10°.
How does methanol react with water?
Methanol does not react with water.
When does the volume of wax increase when it is heated while that of water reduces?
On heating water from O0c to 4oc the volume of water decreases while that of wax increases.
What is the composition of formalin?
Formalin is a saturated solution of formaldehyde, water, and typically another agent, most commonly methanol. In its typical form, formalin is 37% formaldehyde by weight (40% by volume), 6-13% methanol, and the rest water.
From ethanol and methanol which is more soluble in water?
Methanol
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.
Why does methanol show an exothermic reaction with water at room temperature while it gives an endothermic reaction with water in cold conditions?
Methanol does not react with water. Mixing them is exothermic.
What is the percent volume of 25 mL of methanol in 75 mL of water?
25%
How is volume and density affected when the temperature is decreased?
In general when temperature is decreased the volume decreases and the density increases. This is not true for water around freezingg temperatures, the volume increases and the density decreases and ice floats.
When water at zero degree Celsius is heated its volume?
Its volume decreases from 0° to 4°, and then increases from 4° to 10°.
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.
When temperature decreases what does the volume of liquid water do increase or decrease?
The volume of water increase under 3,98 oC.
Is methanol more soluble in water than ch3ch2ch2ch2ch2oh?
Yes, methanol is more soluble than pentanol. The reason is that although both alcohols have an OH group that is attracted to water, pentanol has a 5-carbon, non-polar (hydrophobic) chain that significantly decreases its solubility. The solubilty decreases as the carbon chain increases. I hope this helps.
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.
How does methanol react with water?
Methanol does not react with water.
Why mixing honey and hot water become like jelly?
The volume of water is not sufficient.
When water freezes does it decreases in volume?
No. In fact it increases.
