Best Answer

Warm water is lighter than cold water because the molecules are more active in warmer water and evaporation is taking place more quickly than in cold water.

No, warm water is less dense than cold water. As water warms up, its molecules move farther apart, decreasing its density. This is why colder water tends to sink below warmer water.

Hot water is less dense than cold water. That is why when you boil a pot of water, the hot water on the bottom goes to the top and the cold water sinks.

No! Cold water is actually denser than warm water! That is part of why ice expands.

Given an identical volume of both to begin with (say, one gallon hot water, and one gallon cold water) they will be identical in weight.

Water is densest when its 4°C / 45 Fahrenheit.

If it gets gradually less dense when it gets warmer or colder.

Is hot water less dense than cold water?

Yes, because the higher the temperature, the faster and more spread out the molecules, therefore making hot water less dense than cold water.

Is warm or cold water denser?

its according to what other temperature of water you are comparing it to. water is densest at 4 degrees C so water that is colder then 4 degrees C is technically less dense then water at 4C. in that case the warmer water is denser. but if you mean warm water to be >4C and cold water to be colder then warm water, but not below 4C, then cold water is more dense then warm water. but the question you are probably trying to get answered would have an answer of cold is denser


Why does warm water sit on top of cold water?

Warm water is less dense than cold water, so it sits on top of the cold water. This is because warm water molecules are more spread out and have less mass per unit volume compared to cold water molecules, causing warm water to be less dense and float on top of the denser cold water.


How would this cold water cause a density current?

Cold water is more dense than warm water so the cold water has to sink to the bottom which causes a density current.
