Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is less.
Key Points
- Liquids have a lower density than solids therefore ice is accepted to be heavier than water.
- However, ice has low density than water because it has a cage-like structure.
- In this structure, a lot of vacant spaces are left when water molecules are linked in ice.
- Due to lower density ice floats on water.
Additional Information
- The density of ice = 0.91 g/cm3.
- The density of water is 1 g/cm3.
- With 70% of our earth being ocean water and 65% of our bodies being made up of water, it is hard not to be aware of how important it is in our lives.
- This simple fact is why scientists are constantly looking for water on other planets - the presence of water could indicate the presence of life.
- There are three different forms of water, or H2O: solid (ice), liquid (water), and gas (steam).
