Chapter 3, Problem 101E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Particulate level of explanation of ice (solid water) is less dense than liquid water is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Two variables such as mass (m) and volume (V) can be described as directly proportional one on other by the expression $\mathrm{m}\mathrm{ }\mathrm{\alpha }\mathrm{ }\mathrm{V}$. Besides, the term density is the mass of the given substance per unit volume. It is denoted by the symbol ‘D’. Thus, density is given by $D =\frac{m}{V}$.
