What form of water takes up the most space?

Water in its solid form, as ice, takes up the most space compared to its liquid form. When water freezes, it expands and becomes less dense, causing it to take up more volume.


Will the wooden cube float in water?

It depends on the density of the wood. If the wood is less dense than water, the cube will float. If the wood is more dense than water, the cube will sink.


Does liquid matter or solid matter take up more space?

Liquid matter typically takes up more space than solid matter because the particles in a liquid are not as closely packed together as in a solid. This is why liquids have a fixed volume but can take the shape of their container.


Why does steam take up more space than liquid water?

Steam takes up more space than liquid water because the molecules of water in steam have higher energy and are further apart from each other compared to when they are in liquid form. This causes steam to have a larger volume and be less dense than liquid water.


When ice cube floating in a tumbler of water melts completely why there is no overflow of water?

Its actually quite simple. The answer would be Anomalous expansion of Water, which means that the volume the Ice cubes are consuming in a glass filled upto the brim is more than water alone. When Ice melts and comes back into water form, it uses lesser volume (space) in the glass. Hence it does not allow the glass to overflow as the person pouring into the glass had poured in keeping into view the level of the ice (which uses more volume).

Is an ice cube more dense than liquid water?

No. Ice takes more space than water, so the same volume of ice and water will be less heavy.

Why does water take up more space as steam then it does as liquid water?

Sort of, as steam water spreads around more so you could say that water takes up more space as steam.


Which will melt first an ice cube or an snow cube and why?

A snow cube. Water has an interesting property in that it takes a lot of energy to increase its temperature. This is due to the strong attraction between water particles (hydrogen bonding). The water particles in a solid ice cube are all strongly attracted together and are more densely packed than those in a snow cube. The snow cube has more spaces in it for air which means more of the surface area of the snow cube will be in direct contact with the air and therefore it will melt faster.


Which takes up more space - one cup of liquid water or one cup of ice?

Liquid water would typically take up more space because as ice expands, air pockets are generated. Water takes up the entirety of the space of whatever container it is in.


Why does an ice cube float in milk?

For the same reason it floats in water and other water-based liquids: the ice is less dense than the liquid. When water freezes, the hydrogen bonds force the oxygen atoms farther apart, and this "lattice form" takes up more space than the liquid molecules. So the ice takes up more space for its mass, is less dense, and will float on the surface of water...or milk. The denser the liquid, the higher the ice cube will sit above the top surface.


Why liquid water takes the shape of its container but ice cube does not?

Liquid is much more tangible than ice if that's what your asking....

Which is more difficult to solve rubiks cube or shengshou mirror cube?

a mirror cube, the mirror cubes work the same as a rubik's cube, but takes more knowledge of the cube since you can't orient by just looking at the colours
