No, it is less then. Density rho = mass / Volume.

Water has a density of 1,000 kg/m3 = 1,000 g/L = 1.000 kg/dm3 = 1.000 kg/L = 1.000 g/cm3 = 1.000 g/mL at the temperatur of 3.98 degrees Celsius.

Temperature in degrees Celsius

and the density of water:

1 ................. 999,90

2 ................. 999,94

3 ................. 999,96

4 ................. 999,97

5 ................. 999,96

6 ................. 999,94

7 ................. 999,90

You see the highest number only at 4 degrees Celsius.

Yes. As matter cools the molecules that make it up begin to lose energy and slow down. As the molecules slow more and more, they start to get closer and closer to each other. These molecules' close proximity makes it harder for other molecules to pass in between.

Water gets more dense as it cools, however water is special in the way it freezes. When water freezes into a solid it becomes less dense than water as a liquid, which is why ice floats. This is due to the arrangement of the water molecules in ice.

In general, heated water is less dense than cooler water or water that has just melted (as that water is quite cold). Note, however, that water undergoes a density change as it nears freezing. As water cools, it becomes more dense, but at a bit above freezing, it actually expands slightly and is, therefore, less dense. As water that is just above freezing cools and changes state to a solid, it becomes slightly less dense than liquid water. This explains why ice floats. The ice is less dense than the water in which it floats (or else it would not float).

Water is a very unusual substance.

Start with a piece of ice, and warm it slowly. At 32° Fahrenheit (0° Celsius), it melts and turns to water.

From there up to 39° F (4° C), it shrinks/contracts/becomes more dense.

Then, as it continues to warm, it expands/becomes less dense as it warms past 39° F (4° C).

What happens to the air when heated up?

iit will become less dense


Do heated air particles become more or less dense?

Things (almost everything, including air) becomes less dense when it is heated. So warm air rises, and cold air falls.


How does convection cause an increase in temperature?

it occurs because most liquids and gases become less dense when heated


How does heating or cooling a substance affect density?

For most substances over all temperatures as you heat a substance it will become less dense and as you cool it the substance will become less dense. But as with any law there exceptions. Liquid sulphur for example will become less dense as it is heated up to a certain point and then as you continue to heat it the sulphur becomes more dense. But the most noteable exception is water. As water cools from a vapour to a liquid and is then further cooled as a liquid it becomes more and more dense until it reaches 2 degrees C. Then as water cools below this point it becomes less and less dense until it starts to solidify. At this point it becomes less dense. Water is one of very few substances whose density as a solid is less than when it is in a liquid state. It is a good thing to or we would never have invented hockey if the ice had been on the bottom of the pond.


Is liquid water less dense then Ice?

No. Ice is less dense than water. Because ice is less dense it displaces less water and floats. Water is most dense at 4o C. any change in temperature, either up or down, lowers the density.

Do convection currents form in the mantle when heated materials become more dense?

Yes, convection currents form in the mantle due to the heating and cooling of material, which causes density differences and drives the movement of material. When material in the mantle is heated, it becomes less dense and rises, while cooler, denser material sinks, creating a circulation pattern known as mantle convection.

On heating the inter molecular space decreases. So, substance becomes less dense on heating.

convection happens because fluids become less dense and expand and riseas they are heated.


Where cool dense water sinks does it become more dense?

In the Mediterranean Sea the cool dense water sinks under less dense water which is called density current.


Is it true molten material in the asthenosphere rises in convection currents because heated materials become more dense?

Actually, hot, less dense material rises, and cold, denser material sinks. Denser material will be heavier (per unit volume) and gravity therefore pulls it down. Less dense material has buoyancy and rises. It's very logical.

How does the density of most substances change when they are heated?

generally, the density of a substance decreaces when heated, with the exception of ice, which is less dense than water.
