Quite simply, fill a tray with water and measure its depth. Now freeze it and measure how thick the solid block is. Having expanded, the thickness should be more than the depth (by about 11%).
Another more graphic way is to fill a small container with a simple shape, like a glass drinking container, with water, then freeze it. The glass will have shattered, and any attempt to fit the ice into an identical container will fail because it is too big.
The simplest thing is simply to observe that ice floats on water.
What else can I help you with?
Why do freezing water bottles explode?
Freezing water bottles can explode because water expands when it freezes, creating pressure inside the bottle that can cause it to burst.
Why the pipes broke during the freezing cold weather?
Pipes can burst in freezing temperatures because water inside them expands as it freezes, creating pressure that can cause the pipes to crack or burst. This is more likely to happen in uninsulated or exposed pipes. Insulating pipes and keeping a steady drip of water running during cold weather can help prevent them from freezing and bursting.
What is the Pressure exerted by water freezing in an enclosed vessel?
When water freezes in an enclosed vessel, it expands and exerts pressure on the vessel walls. This pressure depends on factors such as the volume of water, rate of freezing, and strength of the vessel. Generally, this can lead to the vessel cracking or bursting if the pressure becomes too high.
Does water contract when froze?
Yes, water contracts when it freezes. As water cools below 4 degrees Celsius, it begins to contract until it reaches its freezing point of 0 degrees Celsius, at which point it expands as it forms ice crystals. This expansion is known as the anomaly of water and is why ice is less dense than liquid water.
Why does water's freezing point make water a poor choice for the liquid in a thermometer?
Water's freezing point is 0°C, which is relatively high compared to other liquids used in thermometers. This can limit the temperature range in which the thermometer can accurately measure. Additionally, when water freezes, it expands, which can damage the thermometer.
Why does a cup of water push out when it is freezing?
because the water expands
Why do water pipes often burst in freezing water?
Water EXPANDS as it freezes, hello.
How does water change when it freeze?
As water freezes, it expands. this is one cause of erosion because water moves into cracks in rocks and expands when freezing, breaking it open.
Why do freezing water bottles explode?
Freezing water bottles can explode because water expands when it freezes, creating pressure inside the bottle that can cause it to burst.
How does freezing water weather rocks?
yes it does when water freezes it expands the rocks cracks which he water went inside
When water gets into tiny crackers it can break rock apart this is because when water freezes it?
Water expands when freezing.
Can you cite some daily experience that will prove that water expands on freezing?
Sure; fill a garden hose or even a metal pipe with water. make sure each end is capped so that no water can escape. Freeze The device that contains the water will burst from the expansion.
How does water expands when it's frozen?
This is a strange phenomenon explained by the modification of the chemical structure of water during freezing.
Water pipes some times burst during severe wintres in cold countries?
water expands on freezing
When water freezes it contracts true or false?
It is false. Water expands on freezing.
What is so unusual about water when it goes from a liquid to a solid?
It expands. Most substances contract on freezing.
What does water do as it is freezing in a cup?
it expands until it no longer has space and it starts to create cracks in the plastic cup
