The phrasing of the question reveals a basic misunderstanding of the term "weight." Here is a famous trick question: Which weighs more, a pound of lead or a pound of feathers? Many people who answer quickly without thinking say the lead weighs more. That is, of course, silly. A pound is a pound is a pound. A pound of lead weighs exactly the same as a pound of feathers. But a pound of lead will occupy far less volume than a pound of feathers because the lead has greater density than the feathers. So let's look at the water-ice comparison. If you had asked, "Does a cubic foot of ice weigh less than a cubic foot of water," we could have answered, "Yes. Because ice is less dense than liquid water, equal volumes of the two substances will have different weights. So, a cubic foot of ice weighs less than a cubic foot of water."
Yes. Water expands by 9% when it freezes. Frozen water, or ice, is lighter than water, which is why ice floats in water. the more reasone behind is thet when water freezes the air gap created bettweb water molecule and due to which ice volume increase and its density decrease.
No - they weigh the same only ice is less dense, hence Icebergs floating in the sea. or ice cubes in a glass of water. So kilo of water will turn in to a kilo of ice but will take up more space reletively. H20 is the only fluid (to my knowledge) that expands when is freezes. This is why you used to see milk popping up out of the top of milk bottles if they had frozen after the milkman had delivered them. If you were really unlucky a squirrel or bird would come and have a knaw at the frozen milk. It is kind of opposite to what you would expect seeing as energy reduces you expect compounds to 'get smaller' as the molecules vibrate less - all the way down to zero degrees Kelvin where theoretically you would expect no movement of the molecules
The same volume of ice does not weigh as much as the same volume of liquid water. Ice has a lower density than water has, and that's why we see it floating on water.
Can't possibly be. If ice were, then icebergs would sink to the bottom of the ocean.
No. although most substances are more dense as a solid than in their liquid forms, ice has a unique crystal structure that allows it to be less dense than water.
yes
True
No, the volume of ice cannot be smaller than the water.
1g water vapour occupies the greatest volume - even at high pressure. 1g of liquid water occupies the least volume. 1g of solid ice is greater volume than liquid water - and this is the only common liquid where the solid is of less volume than the liquid state.
Mass is just "the amount of stuff there is". We can measure it in kg. If I have 4kg ice and 4kg water, then the answer is "no", but I could just as easily have 4kg of ice and 5kg water, in which case the answer is "yes". If you mean "does freezing water make it heavier?", then the answer is no - 4kg water makes 4kg ice, and they will weigh the same. However, ice has a greater volume than water*, so freezing water will make it expand. *This is not true for every liquid/solid combo.
For the same weight, ice has more volume (takes up more space) than water. That is why ice floats in water. It is a property pretty unique to water. Normally in other elements, the solid form would sink.
Ice is less dense than water so it floats. ex. ice is more dense than ethanol so it sinks.
No, the volume of ice cannot be smaller than the water.
The liquid has the same mass but less volume than the ice.
No. Only the volume[size] changes.
Slightly less dense. Put an ice cube in water ; it floats. It Does NOT sink.
Water has a greater density than ice. When water freezes, it expands, which means the same amount of H20 is taking up more space. Since density is a ratio of the amount of matter in an object (mass) to how much space it takes up (volume), if something is larger in size and has the same mass as something smaller in size, the smaller thing will always have more density than the larger thing.
Ice is heavier than aluminium. You may think that ice is just water really it holds more (volume) than aluminium.
One liter of water weighs more than 1 liter of ice. This is because water expands when it is frozen, thus the liquid water will have more water compared to the ice.
Ice has a lower density than water (hence it floats on it) and as such will be lighter than the same volume of water.
It is not. It varies slightly. The volume of ice will be larger than with water when water and ice are the same weight.
The water in ice has a larger volume that water in its liquid form. That is why Ice floats. Ice is less dense than liquid water.
Liquid water is more dense than ICE , and More dense than water vapour(steam). Liquid water is at its most dense at 2 oC. Water on freezing to ice expands by about 10% of its volume. This is because of the lattice arrangement of water molecules in ice., which does not occur in liquid water., Hence ice floats on water. (icebergs).
Ice has a LOWER density than water as ice FLOATS in water!!!!!!! Upon freezing water to form ice, expansion occurs thus more volume and surface area but the same weight.
