Why is water the only substance that expands when frozen?
Nope. Silicon(Si), Gallium(Ga), Antimony(Sb), Bismuth(Bi) and acetic acid(CH3COOH, vinegar) all expand on freezing as well. Moreover, silicon expands more than water on freezing (10% compared to waters 8%). The trick to this is that any substance with an open tetrahedral molecular structure will also expand upon freezing. (Perhaps phosphorus oxide(s))
If a substance contracts when it freezes?
The vast majority of substances contract upon freezing. The notable exception is water for which the expansion upon freezing has an enormous impact on the nature of the Earth. Most substances contract and become denser upon freezing, but water expands and becomes less dense below about 4 ºC. It is this expansion that causes pipes and bottles to crack when their contents freeze, and rocks to split open when water freezes in their crevices. Icebergs and blocks of ice float in water because they are less dense than the water from which they were frozen. See related links below for more information.
If water was nonpolar?
water would not be able to form hydrogen bonds (wrong)Apex - Water would not rise inside plants :P
Are boiling points of all liquids the same?
All liquids have different boiling point (BP). It's one of the must important characteristics of liquids. You can distinguish and also separate a mixture of liquids by boiling off one with a lower BP. The BP of every liquid depends upon the attractive forces among the atoms or molecules of the material such as hydrogen bonds, dipole attraction, London forces, etc....
What is the difference between the gaseous and liquid state of the same substance?
Liquids and gases both have the property of having no fixed shape, and change their shape depending upon their surrpoundings. Gases, unlike liquids, also have no fixed volume, and readily expand or contract.
What does liquids become when they freeze?
Liquids become solids upon freezing. Most solids contract when they freeze. The expansion of water when it becomes ice is an unusual property.
Does properly air-entrained cement paste shrink or expand upon freezing?
It will shrink!

Do the different liquid have different boiling points?
Boiling point is the temperature at which the atmospheric temperature becomes equal to temperature of the liquid......hence it completly depends upon the atmospheric temperature and the temperature of the liquid.....so different liquids will have different boiling points......
How does CV Raman illustrate the life giving and life sustaining properties of water?
He illustrates that waters cohesive behaviour. It has the ability to moderate temperatures. Its ability to expand upon freezing. Its versatility as a solvent.
What are the life sustaining properties of water?
1) It's cohesive behavior 2) It's ability to moderate temperature 3) It's ability to expand upon freezing 4) It's versatility as a solvent
If you poured liquids in to a graduated cylinder the liquids will form layers based upon?
Density.
Do liquids have higher density than solids?
Yes, water is one of the exceptions to the rule that a solid shrinks when it solidifies. Water expands. If you freeze water in glass eg beer bottles, the bottle will shatter as the liquid freezes. Water pipes can burst, metal water bottles will split if frozen full of water. The water takes in air as it freezes, thus ice floats in your glass rather than sinking.
What is important life-sustaining property of water?
1) It's cohesive behavior 2) It's ability to moderate temperature 3) It's ability to expand upon freezing 4) It's versatility as a solvent
If you pour different liquids into a graduated cylinder the liquids will form layers based upon differences in their?
Density.

How can you tell the difference between hexane and water?
How can you not? I can think of a dozen ways just off the top of my head:# Odor # Boiling point # Freezing point # NMR spectrum # Flammability # IR spectrum # Does it dissolve salt # Does it mix with something known to be water # Density # Surface tension # Index of refraction # Does it expand upon freezing
