Which liquid expands more Ethanol or Water?

Ethanol expands more than water when heated because it has a higher coefficient of thermal expansion. This means that ethanol will increase in volume more than water when heated to the same temperature.


Is condensation of water vapor the same as solidification?

No, condensing is the turning of water gas (vapor of steam) into a liquid while solidification is changing the liquid phase into a solid phase (ice). I believe if I can remember my Thermdynamics that all fluids can also directly from gas into a solid at high pressures. I believe that is called sublimation.


When water changes into ice it expands or contracts?

Water expands when it freezes into ice because the molecules rearrange themselves into a more structured hexagonal arrangement, which takes up more space per molecule compared to the random arrangement of liquid water molecules.


Why do water pipes burst when water freezes in them?

Water pipes burst when water freezes inside them because as water freezes, it expands and creates pressure within the pipe. This pressure builds up until it exceeds the strength of the pipe, causing it to burst open.


Why it a vessel completely filled with water is heated the water spills?

When water is heated, it expands and its volume increases. If a vessel is completely filled with water and heated, the water expands beyond the vessel's capacity, leading to spillage. This is due to the increase in kinetic energy of the water molecules, causing them to move further apart and occupy more space.

Why thoes liquid grow when it change to solid?

Most liquids compress on solidification with the exception of water which due to its anomalous behaviour expands on solidification.Note also that any liquid containing water like milk will also expand on solidification.


Which liquefied metal expand on solidification?

grey cast iron because during solidification the graphite flakes expands Bismuth and antimony are metallic elements that expand on solidification (~3-4%). These elements solidify in a monoclinic (not close-packed) structure which becomes more dense when it transforms from a solid to a liquid. A range of bismuth alloys are used for low temperature melt applications that have take advantage of the expansion to get close tolerance die castings. Gallium is a third metal element that expands during solidification (31 deg C).


Where does solidification happen in the water cycle?

Solidification involves conversion of water to ice. It happens during snowfall in precipitation.


Where does the solidification of water starts?

ice


What is a sentence for the word solidification?

When water reaches 32 degrees Fahrenheit, the solidification process begins to turn it into ice.


Does 20 percent of water expand as it freezes?

It is not that 20 per cent of the water expands - all of the water expands.


Murcury expands when it's hot but what expands when it's cold?

Water expands when it freezes and becomes ice.


What expands as it freezes?

Water


Which substance expands the most in boiling water when they are sealed in syringes is it air iron or water?

Air expands the most.


What is unique about the expansion of water?

that water expands when it gets cooler , other forms of matter expands when it gets hotter.


Does water expand?

When it freezes.


Is a crack that expands because of water physical weathering?

Yes, a crack that expands due to water is an example of physical weathering. This process is known as frost wedging, where water fills a crack, freezes, and expands, causing the crack to widen over time.
