Ice is less dense than water because of its open crystalline structure. But why is water at
The reason that the water at
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Measurement of mass per unit volume is termed as density. The freezing temperature of the water at atmospheric pressure is
As given in the statement, density of ice is less as compared to water because of the crystalline structure of the ice. When ice melts into water, the crystalline structure of the ice breaks and increases the density of the water. At
Furthermore, as the temperature increases, molecules slow down their movement and the density of the water is greater at
Conclusion:
Thus, the density of the water is less at
