When ice is reverted to a liquid state, does its volume change?
Answer:
Yes, it decreases.
Density of water = 1.00g/ml
density of ice = .92g/ml
The same mass of H20 will have less volume as a liquid than as a solid.
yes, it decreases
yes. that i one of the properties of water: expansion upon freezing, meaing if you freeze water and then unfreeze it, there will be more volume than the amount you started with.
Yes, its volume decreases.
You may have seen this when you a freezing a bottle of water in a glass bottle that is sealed tightly. You open the freezer to find that the top or bottom fo the bottle has broken off or a crack has developed - that is because ice is less dense than water and since mass doesn't change in either solid or liquid state only the volume changes. (equation: density = mass/volume)
Hence the reverse happens when ice turns back to water.
Yes.
It is why pipes burst when they freeze. Water expands as it solidifies,so therefore it shrinks when it melts. It also explains why ice floats. Because it has expanded, it is less dense than liquid water. Most materials behave just the opposite as this. Water is a very unusual substance.
yes because in the process of melting some of it evaporates!
