Most matter contracts as it gets colder. Water is one of the few substance that expands (from 4 degrees Centigrade to 0).

As water is cooled its density does what until it reaches about 4 C?
As water is cooled its density increases until it reaches about 4 C and then it decreases.
Marty poured hot water into his cup and then let it cool off. what was happening to the paticiles of matter in the cup as the water cooled off?
the water molecules are getting cold
Explain the differences in appearance and behaviour between liquid water and steam?
Steam and vapor are in the form of a gas. Liquid water is in the form of a liquid.
Which freeze faster salt water or tap water?
Put both in the freezer and use a timer. It must be in a freezer, because if you have ever heard of super-cooled water, a lack of vibrations causes water to remain liquid below the normal freezing point (0 degrees Celsius), that is if it is not disturbed at all.
A liquid heated beyond a certain temperature becomes a?
Generally a solid. Although one also needs to take pressure in consideration to be exact.
What is Anomalous expansion of water?
The expansion of water when it is cooled from four degree centigrade to zero degree centigrade is known as "anomalous expansion of water." The unusual behaviour of water, when it expands below 4° celsius to 0° is called anmalus expansion of water.
Does heat move in or out of water cooled below 0 degrees?
Out
What can cause water vapor in the air to be cooled?
The process is called condensation. It occurs when the water is cooled below its boiling point due to the temperature in the environment cooling it.
When moist air is cooled below its dew point water will?
The water will condense forming dew.
Water is said to be when it cools below 0 C without freezing?
super-cooled
Why is the water used in the experimental procedures for the heat capacity of metals initially cooled several degrees below room temperature?
why is the water used in the exprimental procedures for heat capacity of metals initially cooled several dgrees below room temperature
Water is said to be when it cools below 0 degrees C without freezing?
super-cooled
Is a Honda goldwing 1100 oil cooled or water cooled?
Water cooled.
Is Air cooled vs water cooled pocket bikes?
water cooled is better
Clouds in which the water droplets remain liquid below 0 degrees are said to be?
super cooled, D
Why the surface layer of water in the poles is colder than the layer just below it yet the colder layer floats on top?
Due to the anamolous behaviour of water, the surface water being cooled by the external environment falls below 4C and begin to expand. when this surface water molecules expand they rise to the top due to a decrease in density as compared to the water below the surface. the cooler the temperature henceforth, the more the expansion of the surface water molecules till it solidifies to become ice. this surface ice then acts as an insulator and prevents the exchange of heat between the environment the water molecules just below it, thus maintaining the temperature of the water below the surface as constant.
Is a 1995 vlx Honda shadow air cooled or water cooled?
Its both air and water cooled.
