Once i put a full glass of water in the freezer and totally forgot about it. The next day i opened the fridge and the glass was broken. I belive that ice expands and not contracts. If you see the discovery channel and see what happens to the ground in nature. Its like an inch taller than normal when frozen ... i think from personal observation.
What else can I help you with?
If you throw a glass of water into the air when it is extremely cold can it freeze before it hits the ground?
In most conditions, no. Assuming you have the glass of water sitting at the same temperature as the outside environment, if the external temperature is low enough to be below freezing temperature (0 Celsius/32 Fahrenheit) then the water in the glass would already be frozen before it was thrown. However, let's assume the water is in an above-freezing environment, then quickly taken into a below-freezing environment, and thrown from the glass before it can freeze inside the glass. I've seen videos of this happening, and the flying water particles do indeed freeze in mid-air, however since the water is so dispersed in the air it doesn't turn into a chunk of ice like you might expect, instead it turns into something resembling snow as it's thrown and flutters out in a cloud. From what I hear, for this to happen it needs to be somewhere around -50 Fahrenheit.
A highly corked glass bottle full of water left outside on a frosty night bursts?
If a highly corked glass bottle full of water is left out of doors on a frosty night it will burst because the water contained in the bottle will freeze on a frosty night and convert into ice. There is no room available for the increased volume and this may result in bursting of the bottle.
Why doesn't moving water freeze?
Moving water doesn't freeze as easily as still water because the constant motion prevents ice from forming. The movement of the water disrupts the formation of ice crystals, making it harder for the water to freeze.
Why doesn't spring water freeze?
Spring water can freeze if the temperature drops low enough. However, spring water may resist freezing at higher temperatures compared to tap water due to minerals and impurities that act as antifreeze, lowering its freezing point. Nevertheless, if the temperature is cold enough, spring water will eventually freeze like any other water.
What does water do to pavement when it continues to freeze and thaw?
When water freezes and thaws repeatedly on pavement, it can penetrate cracks and cause the pavement to expand and contract, leading to the formation of potholes and cracks. This process, known as freeze-thaw cycling, weakens the pavement structure and accelerates deterioration. Regular maintenance and proper drainage can help minimize these effects.
What happends if you freeze a glass of water?
The glass may break.
For water in glass plastic or styrofoam cups - which will freeze fastest?
Assuming they are the same or similar shape and volume, water in glass would freeze first, then plastic then foam. Foam allows transfer of heat out of water more slowly than plastic and the glass probably has the highest rate of heat radiation of the three.
What cup will freeze water faster glass or a foam?
Water will freeze faster in a glass cup compared to a foam cup because glass is a better conductor of heat than foam. This means that the glass cup will transfer heat away from the water more quickly, leading to faster freezing. Foam cups insulate better and will retain heat, making the freezing process slower.
What happens if energy is added to or remove from a glass of water?
If a sufficient amount of energy is added to a glass of ice water, the ice will melt, and if a sufficient amount of energy is removed, the water will freeze solid.
Does sugar water freeze faster then tap water?
yes it does because the surgar in the water turns into cristles and elimenating all warmt hfrom the glass
What happens to a glass of water if it is left in the desert?
If in a warm or hot desert, the water will evaporate. If in the Antarctic (which is also classed as a desert) the water will freeze solid.
Does glass expand or contract when heated?
Glass expands when heated because the heat causes the glass molecules to move more vigorously, increasing the distance between them. This expansion is reversible, meaning the glass will contract back to its original size once it cools down.
Will water freeze faster in a plastic cup or a metal cup?
Water in a metal cup will freeze faster because metal conducts coldness and energy the most. trust me, I did a project with a metal, plastic, glass, and paper to see which cup would freeze the quickest. Hopefully this answer helped.
What happens if energy is added or removed from a glass of ice water?
If energy is added to a glass of ice water, the ice will absorb the energy and begin to melt. If energy is removed, the ice will give off heat to its surroundings and may freeze further. Ultimately, the temperature of the glass of ice water will change based on whether energy is added or removed.
Can metal freeze on glass?
I had a 1975 Chevy pickup truck that I was welding on the door. The molten steel fell on the window and fused itself to it. I ruined the glass and learned that you can indeed have metal freeze on glass.
How does the freeze-thaw cycle impact the durability of concrete structures?
The freeze-thaw cycle can weaken concrete structures by causing water to expand and contract within the concrete, leading to cracks and deterioration over time.
If you throw a glass of water into the air when it is extremely cold can it freeze before it hits the ground?
