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.

60 kg of fuel was completely burnt for an experiment. The amount of heat energy was found to be 180000KJ. Calculate calorific va
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

3000 kJ/kg

Explanation:

The calorific value of a substance is the amount of heat produced per unit mass by the combustion of the substance.

It is given by:

C=\frac{Q}{m}

where

Q is the amount of heat released

m is the mass of the fuel

In this problem, we have:

m = 60 kg is the mass of fuel

Q=180,000 kJ is the amount of heat released

Therefore, the calorific value of the fuel is:

C=\frac{180,000}{60}=3000 kJ/kg

What is the value for ∆Soreaction for the following reaction, given the standard entropy values?
Soloha48 [4]
To get the ∆S of the reaction, we simply have to add the ∆S of the reactants and the ∆S of the products. Then, we get the difference between the ∆S of the products and the ∆S of the products. If the <span>∆S is negative, then the reaction spontaneous. If the otherwise, the reaction is not spontaneous.</span>
