How does the combined volume of the billions and billions of hexagonal open spaces in the crystals in a piece of ice compare with the portion of ice that floats above the surface of the water?
To compare: The combined volume of the billions and billions of hexagonal open spaces in the crystals in a piece of ice with the portion of ice that floats above the surface of the water.
Answer to Problem 52A
The volume of ice remains equivalent.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The density of ice is same at any point available in nature.
The open hexagonal spaces in the crystals in a piece of ice has the same volume as the ice floating above the surface of the water because they share the same density.
Conclusion:
Thus, the volume of combines open spaces of crystals in a piece of ice will be equivalent to the volume of ice floating above the water.
