The water which was originally in a liquid stage, turns into a solid when it freezes. The particles in the water come closer together, therefore, the water contracts. This is not true. Most liquids do this when they freeze but water expaneds.

What are some changes that may occur when a solid is heated by the sun?

When a solid is heated by the sun, it may expand due to increased kinetic energy within its molecules, causing it to potentially change shape or size. The solid may also change its physical state and transition into a liquid or even a gas if the temperature reaches its melting or boiling point. Additionally, heating can alter the color or texture of the solid as its chemical composition may be affected by the heat.


What happens to whipped cream?

By lowering the temperature it becomes more of a solid. Not really -- it's the minute bubbles of air entrapped in it that makes it stiffen and behave like a solid. In that way, it's like any other foam; although the buble size may vary greatly.

What happens to the size of the fractional piece as the denominator increases if the numerator stays the same?

It becomes smaller; eventually becoming infinitesimally tiny.


What happens to the size of puddles when evaporation happens?

When evaporation occurs, the water molecules in the puddle transform into water vapor and rise into the air, causing the puddle to gradually decrease in size until it eventually dries up completely.


What happens to the size of the dry ice as the bubbling goes on?

Dry ice decreases in size, because it is sublimating. This means it is turning from a solid in to a gas. Where as regular ice melts in to a puddle of liquid water, dry ice evaporates in to CO2 gas.

What happens to the size of a solid if you cool it down?

Probably nothing, because if you heat up a solid normally it would melt into a smaller solid or even into a liquid. So you could infer that the opposite thing would happen if you cooled down a solid (nothing would happen)
