The right answer is 9%

Water is one of the very few elements to have a larger volume in the solid state than in the liquid state (for an equivalent mass, of course). Indeed, its liquid form consists of water molecules "in bulk". They are in contact with each other, but disordered.

When it solidifies, the molecules are organized into molecular cells. In the case of water, in hexagonal form. However, once the molecules are wisely arranged in hexagon, there is much more vacuum between them than when they were in the liquid phase, that is to say "glued" to each other. There is a variation of almost 9% of the volume. But be careful, do not confuse with the mass.

When water's temperature drops, its volume decreases until it reaches 4 degrees Celsius. As water freezes, its volume rapidly increases. The rate of increase can be calculated by dividing the difference between the volumes at these temperatures by the volume at 4 degrees.

Which of the following statements correctly distinguishes between an acidic and a basic solution?
zepelin [54]
The correct option is A. 
A basic solution has a high concentration of hydroxide ions more than any type of ion and that is why it is basic in nature. An acidic solution has a higher concentration of hydrogen ions and that is why it is acidic in nature. A neutral solution has equal amount of hydroxide and hydrogen ions. Solutions are usually classified as either basic or acidic based on their hydrogen ion concentration.

Leni [432]
Any astronomical body that revolves around a larger body is called SATELLITE. <span>There are two basic types of satellite, natural and artificial satellites. Natural satellites are those that occur naturally such as the moon and the earth while artificial satellites refers to man made satellites. Man made satellites are usually designed for collection of data and for communication. Artificial satellites have the ability to collect more information in a very short time compared to ground instruments. There are many different types of artificial satellites in space.</span><span />
