Ice is harder than liquid water because the molecules of ice are linked more tightly together.

A substance that has a specific heat that is higher than liquid water and explain what it means?

that means more energy is needed to raise the temperature of 1kg of liquid from 1 Celsius than water.


Why is water nonrenewable?

Water is not nonrenewable. But it is getting harder and harder for the earth to clean it faster than humans pollute it.


Why do you seen to weight more in the air then in water?

Water is a liquid, not a gas like air, therefore the molecules are more concentrated in one area in water, and they support you more. It is the same reason it is harder to walk through water than air.


What liquid is less viscous than water?

Liquid nitrogen is less viscous than water.


Does adding water to a liquid make it less dense?

That depends on the specific situation. Assuming the liquids just mix, and don't have some other reaction: * Adding water to a liquid that is denser than water will result in a liquid that is less dense (than the liquid that is not water). * Adding water to a liquid that is less dense than water will result in a liquid that is more dense.


What makes it harder to boil water on a stove?

It can be harder to boil water on a stove at higher altitudes because the air pressure is lower, resulting in lower boiling point of water. This means that the water requires more heat energy to reach its boiling point compared to at sea level.


What intermolecular forces explain why water is a liquid at room temperature?

Hydrogen bonding is the intermolecular force responsible for water being a liquid at room temperature. The hydrogen bonds between water molecules are relatively strong, allowing them to remain in a liquid state rather than vaporizing at room temperature.


Is water the lightest liquid on earth?

No, water is not the lightest liquid on Earth. Liquid hydrogen and liquid helium are lighter than water because they have lower densities.


Is liquid water more dense than ice water?

No, ice water is more dense than liquid water. This is because the molecules in ice water are arranged in a more structured way, leading to a higher density compared to the more random arrangement of molecules in liquid water.


Is liquid water less dense than ice cubes?

No. Liquid water is more dense. This is why ice cubes float on liquid water.


How could you tell if a liquid has a higher or lower density than water?

If a liquid does not mix with water and you pour a little water on the liquid, then if the water sinks, the water has a higher density than the liquid; otherwise, the liquid has a higher density. If a drop of the water dissolves in the liquid, then you weigh an equal volume of both liquids. The heavier one has the higher density.


Particles in a gas aer what apart than the particles in a liquid?

Farther apart, then the liquid. think of this a gas is a soccer game (a player represents a molecule) and a rally represents a Liquid (they can move but its harder than a soccer game)
