Because the same amount of matter now occupies a larger space, therefore decreasing its density.

Is cold water less dense that hot water?

As water eats up, it expands. There is still the same amount of water, but now in a larger space so it is less dense than cold water.

What does water become less of when it heats?

if you are talking about what form it is it, it becomes less of a liquid and more of a gas (: It becomes less "dense" eventually turning into a gas, as above has stated.


A piece of ice floats on water. what does this tell you about the density of ice compared to the density of water?

It tells you that the ice is less dense than the water.


Why does water become less dense as it expands?

Water becomes dense when it is more saturated than absorbing a solution. For example, salt with make water more dense because as more salt is added, it becomes saturated.


Does polar water diluted by meltings ice become more or less dense?

When liquid water is warm its density?

decreases as it becomes less dense and expands. This is why warm water rises in cooler water.


If an iceberg is made of water and its solid and if its in water and its liquid how does the iceberg float?

An iceberg floats because it is less dense than the water it displaces. When ice forms, it expands and becomes less dense than liquid water, allowing it to float. This buoyancy force counteracts the downward force of gravity, keeping the iceberg afloat.


Why does ice float into water?

When you freeze water it expands so it is less dense than liquid water therefore more buoyant so it floats.


Is ice more or less dense than than liquid water?

Ice is less dense than water at the same pressure. That is why ice cubes and icebergs float on the water.


Ice is heavier than water or not?

Ice is lighter (less dense) than water. Which is why ice can float on the surface of water.
