As we reduce the temperature initially the density of water increases. It reaches to the maximum value at 4 deg celcius. And when the temperature is further reduced then its density decreases due to expansion. This is what we call ANOMALOUS expansion. At 0 degree water freezes and density decreases

∙ 11y agoNo. In fact, the density decreases. Water is at its most dense at around 4C above freezing. As it reaches 0C, it begins to expand and as it turns to ice it expands by about 8%. That means that the density reduces by 8% compared to water in its liquid state.

∙ 13y agoThe density of water increases with cooling until it reaches 4oC at which point further cooling decreases its density. When it turns to ice the solid has density less than water t the same temperature. During the process of changing from a liquid to a solid, the temperature of both the ice and water are 0oC and stay at that temperature as the water changes state. As a consequence the density of freezing water is constant.

∙ 13y agoit decreases, because ice has a lower density than water
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoIt decreases. Ice has a lower density than water--which makes it float.
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoThe density of the water will decrease. Fresh water is densest at 4°C

∙ 8y agoIce is less dense than liquid water.
Wiki User
∙ 8y agoWater is one of a very few substances that is more dense as a liquid near its freezing point than as a solid near its melting point.

When liquid water freezes into ice its density .?
Decreases
What happens when water enters a crack of a rock and freezes in it?
If it freezes just a little it becomes cold water, but if it freezes more it becomes ice.
What freezes first water or milk?
water, the density is less Milk normally freezes between -0.53 and -0.56 °C. Water freezes at 0.
What happens to water at 1 degree C?
it freezes
What happens to water at 0 degrees centigrade?
it freezes
Why when the water freezes the density goes down?
Its density goes down because when water freezes it expands.
What happens to the mass when water freezes?
No, as long as it is the same peice of ice. The volume and the density change but not the mass
When water freezes what causes it to float?
The density of ice is lower than the density of water.
What happens to the volume of a water balloon when it freezes?
As the water freezes, it will expand.
What does water do when it freezes that is unusual?
It expands, which reduces its density.
When liquid water freezes into ice its density .?
Decreases
An increase in the temperature of matter generally results in a decrease in its density. Water is an exception to this rule. What do you think happens to water when it freezes?
In general increases in temperature result in decreasing density. However when water freezes it has less density then liquid water, contrary to reason. The principal behind this is the water molecules actual space apart. The characteristic of water allows ice to float, and is very important to Earth's life itself.
What happens to volume of water when it freezes?
it remain the same as it has definite volume.
What happens at zero Celsius?
Water freezes.
What happens the volume of water when freezes?
Increases.
What happens when water enters a crack of a rock and freezes in it?
If it freezes just a little it becomes cold water, but if it freezes more it becomes ice.
What freezes first water or milk?
water, the density is less Milk normally freezes between -0.53 and -0.56 °C. Water freezes at 0.
