When water is in liquid form its molecules are free to move around.
Water molecules are packed reasonably close together. However when water freezes its molecules take up a hexagonal lattice (repeating structure) which has space in the middle of it.

This is largely due to hydrogen bonding between water molecules (complicated).

As a result water molecules in ice aren't packed as closely together as they are in liquid water so the density of ice is lower than that of liquid water.

Hope that helps. I doubt you need to know about hydrogen bonding.

A student prepares a 100.0 mL solution using 44.7 grams of potassium nitrite. They then take 11.9 mL of this solution and dilute
Naddik [55]

Answer:

0.52 g of KNO₃ are contained in 19.7 mL of diluted solution.

Explanation:

We can work on this problem in Molarity cause it is more easy.

Molarity (mol/L) → moles of solute in 1L of solution.

100 mL of solution = 0.1 L

We determine moles of solute: 44.7 g . 1mol /101.1 g = 0.442 mol of KNO₃

Our main solution is 0.442 mol /0.1L = 4.42 M

We dilute: 4.42 M . (11.9mL / 200mL) = 0.263 M

That's concentration for the diluted solution.

M can be also read as mmol/mmL, so let's find out the mmoles

0.263 M . 19.7mL = 5.18 mmol

We convert the mmol to mg → 5.18 mmol . 101.1 mg / mmol = 523.7 mg

Let's convert mg to g → 523.7 mg . 1 g / 1000 mg = 0.52 g
