Yes, ice expands as it freezes. This expansion is due to the unique hydrogen bonding structure of water molecules in its solid form, which causes them to be less densely packed compared to liquid water.

What will the mass of ice be after freezing?

The mass of ice after freezing will be the same as the mass before freezing. The volume however, will be greater as ice than it was as liquid water.


Does the melting point of water change?

Yes. The freezing point of water (melting point of ice) depends on both the temperature and the pressure. One easy way to lower the pressure is to add salt to ice. This lowers its freezing point and caused it to melt. Salt is spread on street and sidewalk ice in some areas to melt it and the addition of salt to ice is also used in the cooling of ice cream.

What happens if lorries spread grit on roads?

salt products lower the freezing point of moisture on the road surface, so ice or snow that has already formed will melt and will prevent more ice forming.


What makes the ice to melt by the salt?

Salt and IceHow does salt "melt" snow and ice? As we know, pure water freezes at 0 °C. Any impurity that is added to the ice interferes with the freezing process, and water does not become solid ice until the temperature drops even lower. As a result, adding any dissolved impurity such as salt lowers the freezing point of water. Instead of freezing at 0 °C, a mixture of 20% salt in water stays a liquid until the temperature is as low as -16 °C.-- answer by Divine Crow. (Credits to NELSON: Science Perspectives 9)
