Temperatures below freezing can form ice, and keep it frozen in dynamic equilibrium. Temperatures above freezing can melt ice, and the hotter it is, the faster it will melt.

What type of change is the process of solid ice changing into liquid water?

All matter melts, hardens, evaporates at a specific temperature, which is different for different matter. As you know the lowest possible temperature is -273,14°C or 0 K ..at this temperature all matter is solid and there is no movement on the atomic or subatomic level.


What happens to the ice during no temperature change?

During no temperature change, the ice remains in a solid state. The molecules of the ice stay tightly packed together in a regular pattern, maintaining its structure. While there may not be a change in temperature, other factors such as pressure or surrounding conditions can affect the state of the ice.


Is a ice pack a chemical change?

Nope - ice and water both have the same chemical formula. The only change is with temperature.


How does density of a substance change with temperature and name a substance that does not strictly follow this rule.?

In general, as the temperature of a substance increases, it's density decreases. One exception of this is water. as liquid water approaches it's freezing point, the water molecules rearrange themselves into a lattice structure, actually making it less dense. This is why ice floats on top of water.


What is the difference between ice melting and chocolate melting?

Ice melting is the phase change of solid ice into liquid water due to an increase in temperature, whereas chocolate melting is the phase change of solid chocolate into liquid chocolate also due to an increase in temperature. The main difference is that ice melting is a pure substance changing phases, while chocolate melting involves a mixture of ingredients such as cocoa butter, sugar, and milk solids.

What is the density of water does the density of water change with varying amounts why or why not?

The density of water is about 1 g/cm3, and it varies with temperature, not amount. Water is most dense at 4 degrees C. Below that temperature, the density of water decreases, so that frozen (solid) water (ice) is less dense than liquid water. This is why ice floats on water.


Density list of ice and water and steam?

The density of ice is approximately 0.92 g/cm³, the density of water is 1 g/cm³, and the density of steam (water vapor) at standard conditions is around 0.6 g/cm³. As temperature changes the density of water and ice can also change - with water being most dense at 4°C.


Does the density of material change when the material expands?

No, the density of a material does not change when it expands. Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume, so even if the material expands and takes up more space, the total mass remains the same, resulting in no change in density.


At what temperature does a block of ice at 0C begin to change its temperature as it melts?

A block of ice at 0C begins to change its temperature as it melts when it reaches 0C.


Why does ice have a different density than?

Because ice is a frozen solid and water is not.


Is density of melting ice less than solid ice?

Ice, like other solids will expand with heat. It has a coefficient of expansion of 50 ppm/°C. So, the colder the ice is, the smaller, and higher density it will be. The warmer, the lower the density, with the maximum temperature (and lowest density) being at the melting/freezing point.


How water turns to ice?

From the change in temperature

As temperature of the water decreases the density of water does what?

As temperature of liquid water decreases the density remains relatively stable until water changes phase change into solid (crystallization) ice at which point it decreases abruptly by about 10%. Continued cooling has little effect on the density of ice.

How water might have two different densities?

Basicly, liquid water is more dense then frozen water. That's why ice floats on water!


What does the seawaters density do as its temperature decreases?

As seawater temperature decreases, its density increases until it reaches its maximum density at around 4 degrees Celsius. Further cooling below this temperature causes the density to decrease due to the formation of ice, which is less dense than liquid water.
