If you fill a pint glass with ice and water will the melted ice cause it to spill over?
Answers:
No. Water defies the property of nature by expanding when it's cold, instead of contracting like everything else.
The water in the glass will be lower after the ice melts.
Yeah as its adding more water to it as it was solid
no because the density inside the glass stays the same whether the ice melts or not.
No. Frozen water (ICE) is less dense than liquid water because H2O molecules form a hexagonal structure when frozen. Thus, when the water melts, it will actually decrease the amount of space taken up.
absolutly not. Ice is more volumous than water
No
No even if the volume is greater than the capacity of the glass,the meniscus will cling to the top of the glass
no, because if the ice did not cause the water to spill over in the first place, the ice has already displaced all the space it will in the glass , it changing form will not displace more water
nope.
No because water expands when it turns to ice, therefore, will shrink back down when it melts.
Which makes you wonder about the following:
Global warming alarmists say that the melting polar icecaps will increase water levels worldwide. This doesn't make sense because a) 90% of iceburgs are underwater and b) that ice takes up more room frozen that when it thaws into water.
So, in theory if the artic melts ocean levels should more or less remain the same or actually go down!
nope!
Why don't you experiment and get the answer yourself? You would have saved 5 points. As it is, I have just earned two. Thanks.
No; the water as ice takes up more space than water as a liquid; if you stacked the ice so that it is above the glass (not floating), it might.
That would be "no."
no because the same amount of water will melt as the space acquired by the ice cube
No. Why not take the advice of teddybear
No, you would just end up with a warm pint of water.
I think Wendy M and DoNNy have it correct.
Not this one again! No,no, no, no, no and finally no.
id say it depends how much of the water u drink before the ice melts
