Water has a density of 0.997 g/cm^3 at 25 degrees C; ice has a density of 0.917 g/cm^3 at -10 degrees C. (question part a) If a
soft drink bottle whose volume is 1.50L is completely filled with water and then frozen to -10 degrees C, what volume does the ice occupy? (question part b) Can the ice be contained within the bottle?
</span>Once melted ice will then take the same volume as before (10cm^3<span>), but it was dispersing only </span>9.5cm^3<span>, so the water level will rise to account for the additional .</span>5cm^3<span>. This is a fairly small amount (only about 5% of the volume of the melted water), but it's notable. </span><span> Therefore yes it can be contained.
