In chemistry, there is no such thing as "cold", but is renamed "absence of heat." So yes, it is correct to say ice freezes because of a lack of heat.

Why do you have ice in the world?

We have ice in the world because water freezes to form ice.


Why does water change into ice?

because it freezes


Why does an ice with larger amount of surface area freeze faster?

Ice with a larger surface area freezes faster because there is more contact with the surrounding air, which helps to quickly remove heat and lower the temperature of the ice. This allows for faster heat transfer and more effective cooling of the ice, resulting in a quicker freezing process.


Why do bottles break when they are filled with ice?

Bottles break when they are filled with ice because when ice expands when it freezes.


How you think the ice formed overnight?

because it freezes at 0F


Is formation of ice an isothermal process?

Yes, the formation of ice is an isothermal process because it occurs at a constant temperature. As water loses heat and freezes into ice, the temperature remains constant until all the water has solidified.


When 1 gram of liquid water at 0 celsius freezes to form ice how many total souls of heat are lost by the water?

When 1 gram of liquid water at 0 degrees Celsius freezes to form ice, it releases 334 Joules of heat.


How can an ice cream makers temperature get to below zero?

When liquid water freezes into ice energy is absorbed or released or not involved?

When liquid water freezes into ice, energy is released. This is because the process of freezing involves the molecules in water slowing down and arranging themselves into a more ordered solid structure, which releases heat energy.


When water freezes the temperature remains constant at 0 degree Celsius and yet the water is giving off heat constantlywhy?

This is because of the latent heat of freezing that it first has to give off in order to turn into ice. Latent heat means 'hidden heat'.


Is ice cream a exothermic or endothermic reaction?

Ice cream production is an exothermic process because heat is released when the cream and sugar mix is churned and freezes. The freezing process of the mixture releases heat, making it an exothermic reaction.


Is it true ice floats on water because water expands when it freezes?

It is true that water expands as it freezes, but the reason it floats on water is because the density of solid water (ice) is less than that of liquid water. And the density of ice is lower because of the expansion (same mass/larger volume).
