Best Answer

The maximum density of water occurs at 3.98 °C (39.16 °F)

Solid water, i.e. ice, has a density of 917 kg/m3 , so it is LESS dense than liquid.

The liquid water density is 1,000 kg/m3 (at 4 °C)

Is water denser when it's frozen than when liquid?

No. I*f it were, ice would sink in a glass of water. As water freezes, it expands, and becomes less dense.


When a liquid is frozen will there be more of it or less?

Freezing does not change the mass of a liquid. Its density may change, however. Most solids are denser than their liquid phase. Frozen water, i.e. ice, is less dense, and so floats.


Do all frozen liquids float on their liquid as ice floats on water?

No, not all frozen liquids will float on their corresponding liquid. Whether a frozen liquid will float or sink depends on the density of the liquid when frozen compared to its density when in liquid form. Honey, for example, will sink when frozen because it is denser than its liquid form.


Does a denser object sink or float?

An object that is denser than water or another liquid sinks.


Why diamond is denser than water?

A diamond is a solid, while water is a liquid.


What happens to water when frozen that doesen't happen to any other liquid?

When most liquids change to their solid state, they become denser. However, water freezes and the resulting solid, ice, is less dense than it's liquid state (aka ice floats over liquid water)


A liquid that is more dense than water is?

Mercury is a liquid that is more dense than water. Its density is around 13.6 times higher than water, making it a popular choice for use in barometers and thermometers.


Ice floats in water does frozen HNO3 float in liquid HNO3?

No, frozen nitric acid (HNO3) is denser than liquid nitric acid, so it will sink rather than float. This is because the solid form of HNO3 has a higher density compared to its liquid form.


How is water different to most substances when it is at freezing point?

Water expands when it freezes. Ice is lighter and denser than liquid water. Ice Floats! Most substances get denser when they turn from liquid to solid.


Is hot water denser than frozen water?

Yes, water is unique in that it is the only substance that expands when frozen. Therefore ice will be less dense in terms of water molecules than room temperature water or heated water
