Which is denser ice or cold water?
Cold Water. Water expands when it freezes, which makes ice less dense.
When water changes into ice it expands or contracts?
When water freezes and becomes ice it expands. That's why if you put a glass of water into the freezer the water would overflow because the water would have nowhere to go except the top.
Why do water pipes burst when water freezes in them?
Becuase when water freezes, it expands and burst the pipe from the inside.
Water expands as it freezes can you define a coefficient of volume expansion for the freezing force?
The coefficient of the thermal expansion of water is equal to .00021. Water expands by 9% of its volume when it freezes.
When water freezes its volume?
Increases by about 9%. Water is one of the few liquids that expands when it freezes.
Is water denser when it's frozen than when liquid?
No. I*f it were, ice would sink in a glass of water. As water freezes, it expands, and becomes less dense.
Murcury expands when it's hot but what expands when it's cold?
Water expands when it freezes and becomes ice.
Which is denser ice or cold water?
Cold Water. Water expands when it freezes, which makes ice less dense.
Does water expand?
When it freezes.
Why does ice shrink when it freezes?
Water actually becomes less dense, or expands, when frozen. When liquid water reaches it's freezing point, the water molecules rearrange themselves into a lattice structure. Due to the nature of the water molecules, they arrange themselves in such a way as to make it less dense than it was in it's liquid form, which is why ice floats on top of liquid water.
Is ice denser than cold water?
no, when water freezes it becomes less dense, that is why ice floats.
Why water expands when freezes?
This is becuase it becomes a solid and the particles expand to fit neatly into a solid square.
What expands as it freezes?
Water
Which liquid expands when it freezes?
Water
Which volume is more ice and water?
When water freezes, it expands by about 15%, becoming less dense and taking up more volume. That's why ice floats.
Which state of water allows fish to remain in a lake when winter temperatures are below 0C?
Water expands as it freezes so becomes less dense than liquid water. Ice floats to the surface leaving liquid water (for fish to swim in) below the surface ice.
When water changes into ice it expands or contracts?
When water freezes and becomes ice it expands. That's why if you put a glass of water into the freezer the water would overflow because the water would have nowhere to go except the top.
