How do you design a simple experiment to find out what happens to the volume of water when it freezes?

To design a simple experiment to observe what happens to the volume of water when it freezes, first, fill a measuring container with a known volume of water and mark the initial level. Next, place the container in the freezer until the water completely freezes. After the water has frozen, measure the new level of the ice in the container. Finally, compare the two measurements to determine if the volume of water increased, decreased, or remained the same upon freezing.


Fixed volume but match their container?

If a fixed volume of gas is placed in a container, it will expand or contract to match the volume of the container. This is because gases have the ability to fill the entire volume of their container, assuming no other forces are applied. As the container size changes, the gas molecules will adjust by moving closer together or farther apart to occupy the new volume.


What happen to the air volume inside a container when water is poured inside?

When water is poured into a container, it occupies space within the container, causing the air volume to decrease. The air that was previously in the container is displaced by the water. If the container is sealed, the total volume remains constant, but the volume of air decreases as water fills the space. If the container is open, the air can escape, and the air volume may not change significantly.


How do you select the correct container to measure volume?

To select the correct container to measure volume, ensure that the container has clear volume markings that are easy to read. Choose a container that is appropriate in size for the amount of liquid or substance you are measuring. Make sure the container is clean and dry before measuring to ensure accuracy.

What if the gas volume is confined to an expandable container What would happen to the gas volume if it is cooled?

If you cool a gas then its volume shrinks. As the container is expand/contactable, the container will also shrink.


What happens to to the volume of a container when a rock is added?

Placing a rock in a container does not alter the volume of the container, although it does occupy some of that volume.


What happens to the volume of a solid when it is moved to a larger container?

The volume of the solid remains the same.


If you melt plastic do you end up with the same volume?

Not if the original form included air. Styrofoam (packing material) will shrink to a simply amazing degree. Dense plastics will result in exactly the same volume, but if formed into a beverage container, then obviously, the air in the container won't stick around.


What happens to the volume of a liquid when it is poured from a small container into a large container?

The volume of an object is determined by the product of the surface area and the height of the object. Hence if the big container has a bigger height then the volume would certainly be greater. However, when talking about the volume of the liquid, it will be constant. This is because, although the height of the liquid will be reduced by putting it into a bigger container, the surface area is increased. Therefore, it will be constant. ! xx

Why does balloon filled with air shrink when placed in the cold dry ice container?

When the balloon is placed in the cold dry ice container, the air inside the balloon cools down, causing its temperature to decrease. As a result, the air molecules lose energy and move slower, leading to a decrease in pressure and volume inside the balloon, causing it to shrink.
