at 4 degrees c water has maximum density than at 0 degrees c. what are the advantages and disadvantages of this property of water

Solutions

Expert Solution

ANSWER- most liquids expand smoothly and become less dense with increasing temperatures water however is an expectation as its density is greatest at 4 degrees Celsius and less for both higher and lower temperatures. This property is important for the ecology of lakes .at temperature above 4 degrees Celsius the water in lake become denser .but as the water cools below 4 degrees Celsius, it becomes less dense and rise to the surface of the lake .this is the reason that ice form first surface of the lake.

Advantages-fish and aquatic life survive by the staying on the bottom where the temperature is at least 4 degree Celsius. If the water behave like other most substances and contracted as it froze,then ice would sink and expose more water at the surface that would then freeze ie lakes would freeze from the bottom up.

Disadvantages- it doesn't bevaour like other liquid.

Recall that at 4°C, water has a density of 1.0000 g cm-3. However, at 20°C, water has a density of 0.9982 g cm-3. A student is using a balance to determine the difference between the amount of water transferred using a volume from a 10 mL volumetric pipette compared to a 10 mL in a 50 mL graduated cylinder. To do this, the student measures the mass of a beaker and then adds water from the volumetric pipette. The student records both measurements...

Consider copper from 0 degrees Celsius to 1000 degrees Celsius. The density for copper at 0 degrees is 8.92 g/cm^3. Assume the vacancy formation energy is 0.91 eV/atom and that the volume coefficient of thermal expansion is 3 times the the linear coefficient of thermal expansion. 1) Determine the density change between these two temperatures due to the change in the number of vacancies. Thermal expansion coefficient of copper is 9.3 (10-6 in/(in R))*) OR 16.6 (10-6 m/(m K))

It is well known that water freezes at 0°C at atmospheric pressure. The mixture of liquid water and ice at 0°C is said to be at stable equilibrium since it cannot undergo any changes when it is isolated from its surroundings. However, when water is free of impurities and the inner surfaces of the container are smooth, the temperature of water can be lowered to 22°C or even lower without any formation of ice at atmospheric pressure. But at that...
