No, water is not the only substance that increase in volume when it changes state from liquid to solid. The element gallium is less dense as a solid than as a liquid, to name one. Generally speaking, solids are usually more dense than their liquid forms, but not always. and some other liquids also do

What substance has a larger volume as a solid then as a liquid?

Water increases in volume as water expends on freezing.


Are the mass and volume of a given substance directly or inversely proportional?

Generally speaking when the mass of a substance increases, so does its volume. And vice versa. Therefore mass and volume are directly proportional. If they were inversely proportional one cup of water would weigh more than 2 cups of water.

Increases in volume. Water is the only matter that increases in volume when it coagulates.


What substance expands when cooled?

H2O or anything that liquid did extend if you want to prove it you could actually try it with a glass full of water and you close it with a cap and when it become an ice (frozen) the cap will actually pop or not as tight as before. Or use a can coke for instant , the next thing will happen is that can exploded ... ( believe me I've tried it)


As water is cooled its density does what until it reaches about 4 C?

As water is cooled its density increases until it reaches about 4 C and then it decreases.


When water freezes what does the volume do?

Increases.


How can salinity impact the density of a substance or solution?

Salinity can impact the density of a substance or solution by increasing it. When salt is added to water, it increases the mass of the solution without significantly changing its volume. This results in a higher density because the same volume of water now contains more mass.


What happen to volume of substance when placed say in a freezer?

A number of factors have to be considered, the state of the substance, solid, gas or liquid. The condensation and freezing point of the substance. The temperature inside the freezer. The pressure Most, but not all, substances reduce in volume and increase in density when cooled. Water for instance, reduces in density when frozen.


Does the volume of salty water increase when its temperature increases?

Yes, the volume of salty water generally increases when its temperature increases because warm water tends to expand and become less dense. The increase in volume with higher temperature is known as thermal expansion.


What happens to the volume of a gas when it is cooled?

When any gas (or gas mixture), including air, is cooled, the molecules will move slower and they will be able to be closer together. The volume needed to store a certain amount of gas will be less. If you cool it enough, it will eventually turn into a liquid.
