The frozen expansion volume of saline water varies according to the solution, freezing temperature, as the air bubbles are not uniform. The density of frozen saline water is approximately 0.9 gm/L compared to pure ice which is 0.9 gm/L. It has an overall comparison ratio of approximately 0:8.
No. There are two main differences (and most others follow on from them): the temperature is lower so the frozen water is solid rather than liquid and the density has decreased (the same volume of water will have expanded).
When water freezes, it turns into what we call ice. ice is a solid. no offense, but um stupid question.
The term "saline" just means salty. A saline solution is water with salt in it. (This is not necessarily table salt, NaCl, but can be other salts as well.)
If you mean *exactly* one cup by volume, you have the iceberg scenario. The cup of frozen water will be less dense, so it will weigh less. If you just freeze a cup of water, don't spill any, and *don't* trim the excess to bring the volume back to exactly one cup, then it will weigh exactly what it did at room temp.
Yes, an ounce of water will weigh the same when it is frozen. The mass of the water remains unchanged during the phase transition from liquid to solid; only its state and volume change. Therefore, whether it's in liquid or frozen form, an ounce of water retains its weight.
Frozen water expands to 8 1/3% of its normal volume.
The density of saline water is greater than the density of pure water.
This is a fact. Water molecules form a crystal lattice structure when frozen, causing the molecules to move farther apart and the volume to increase, leading to expansion.
Yes, ink can expand when frozen due to the water content within it turning into ice, which typically takes up more volume than liquid water. This expansion can potentially damage containers, especially if they are not designed to accommodate the increased volume.
twice as much
No, not from the frozen state. If a saline solution (dissolved salt in water) is gently heated, the water will evaporate, leaving salt crystals behind. If the water vapour is captured and condensed, the result is drinking water.
A typical allowance for water expansion in a feed and expansion cistern is around 10%. This extra volume accommodates the expansion that occurs as the water heats up and reduces the risk of overflow or pressure buildup in the system.
Frozen water (ice) is less dense than liquid water, which is why it floats. When water freezes, its molecules form a crystalline structure that causes it to expand, unlike most liquids that contract when they freeze. This expansion is why ice floats on water.
No. There are two main differences (and most others follow on from them): the temperature is lower so the frozen water is solid rather than liquid and the density has decreased (the same volume of water will have expanded).
Water expands approximately 10% when frozen, so the water would have less volume than the ice.
No, frozen water weighs the same as liquid water. When water freezes, it expands in volume but maintains the same mass, so the weight remains constant.
As water freezes and becomes ice it expands in volume. If a bottle is half-filled with water and then frozen, the bottle should remain intact because the volume of air in the bottle will contract as the water/ice expands and so the airspace will accommodate the final volume of the ice. If the bottle is completely filled with water and then frozen, the bottle will most likely break because there is no airspace to 'absorb' the expansion of the water/ice. As the freezing is a relatively slow process, the bottle will not explode, but will in all likelyhood crack and may break apart.
