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.
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.
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.
Nope - ice and water both have the same chemical formula. The only change is with temperature.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A block of ice at 0C begins to change its temperature as it melts when it reaches 0C.
Because ice is a frozen solid and water is not.
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.
From the change in temperature
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.
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.
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.
Basicly, liquid water is more dense then frozen water. That's why ice floats on water!
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.
