it expands because water when it freezes becomes ice and ice expands in cold temperatures. Take a soda can for example put it in the freezer for about 20 min. it should have expanded by then.

What is heavier - a cup of water at room temperature or a cup of water frozen?

If you mean *exactly* one cup by volume, you have the iceberg scenario. The cup of frozen water will be less dense, so it will weigh less. If you just freeze a cup of water, don't spill any, and *don't* trim the excess to bring the volume back to exactly one cup, then it will weigh exactly what it did at room temp.

Does a paper cup keep water hotter than a plastic cup?

A paper cup typically does not keep water hotter than a plastic cup. Paper is a poor insulator compared to plastic, so heat is more likely to escape from a paper cup, leading to faster cooling of the water inside.


Can you boil a water in paper cup?

The boiling point of water is 100 degrees. However, the point at which paper burns is much higher than 100 degrees. When you boil water in a paper cup, all of the heat is transferred to the water, not the cup. When the water starts to boil, the paper stays unburnt. After the water has boiled through, there should be a small black mark on the base of the cup which can be easily removed.


Can you hold water?

Yes. It doesn't matter if it is frozen. Just cup your hands and then pour water into it.


How can a water be boiled in a paper cup?

A paper cup can be used to boil water by filling it with water and placing it directly over a heat source such as a stove or campfire. The water will boil due to the heat transfer from the flame to the paper cup, causing the water to reach its boiling point. The paper will char and may eventually catch fire, so this method should be done with caution.


Is frozen yogurt really frozen yogurt?

Yes, frozen yogurt or fro-yo is made from yogurt and other dairy products. It is said to be low in fat, because it uses milk instead of cream. This is why frozen yogurt really is a healthier alternative to ice cream. And its tart flavor tastes really good! When you're buying frozen yogurt, be sure to keep it fresh in an eco-friendly yogurt paper cup. This yogurt cup from CupDepot is made from double poly lined paper so you can be sure it's spill-proof.

Why does a paper cup not catch fire when filled with water?

The boiling point of water is just 100 deg celcius. But the ignition temperature for paper would be higher than 200 deg celcius. So when paper cup filled with water it cannot attain temperature higher than 100 deg. Hence no burning becomes possible
