Liquid water at about 4 degrees Celsius is more dense that ice. That is why ice floats.

But I haven't seen any density tables for really cold ice --- perhaps at -250 Celsius the water would be more dense.

What liquid has the greatest density?

Mercury has the greatest density as a liquid in room temperture.


What has a effect on water density?

Temperature, salinity, and pressure have significant effects on water density. As temperature increases, water density decreases because warmer water molecules are more spread out. Higher salinity increases water density since dissolved ions make the water heavier. Pressure also impacts density, with deeper water being denser due to the weight of the overlying water column.


When on observes the phase of matter of water one observes a?

When one observes the phase of matter of water, they are observing a liquid state at room temperature and pressure. This means that the water molecules are loosely held together and able to flow and take the shape of their container.


What happens to the density of as it changes phase from a solid to a liquid to a gas?

It depends on what material you have taken under consideration example, in case of water , when ice changes to water its density increases and decreases water turns into steam . So one has to actually experiment himself/herself to know what actually happens to the material under consideration. it will lessen>AOA


Where is the density of electrons greatest in the water molecule?

The density of electrons is greatest around the oxygen atom in a water molecule because oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, causing it to attract the shared electrons more strongly. This results in a higher electron density around the oxygen atom.

What temperature in the solid phase has the greatest water density?

In the liquid phase, it is 4o C. seeing how water only expands as it becomes ice, i think 0 degrees celcius is the densest

When one observes the phase of matter of water what property of matter does one observe?

At room temperature water is a liquid. You can observe (or measure) density, viscosity, thermal conductivity, electrical resistivity, refractive index etc.


What is the liquid phase?

There are three states of matter. they are solid , liquid and gas. A substance is said to be in a phase when it exhibits that state of matter. Ice is water in the solid phase. Water is ice in the liquid phase. Water vapour/steam is water and or ice in the gaseous phase.

If you have a half dollar and pencil and some water which of these have the greatest density?

The half dollar has the greatest density because it will sink, the water has more density than the pencil because the pencil will float.


When boiling water begins to turn to steam does the phase density or temperature remain the same?

When boiling water turns into steam, the temperature remains the same until all the liquid water has boiled off. The phase density decreases as the water converts to steam because steam has a lower density compared to liquid water.


What liquid has the greatest density?
