Why does the solid phase of water (ice) float in liquid water?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Nastasia [14]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: SOLID WATER(ICE) IS LESS DENSE THAN LIQUID WATER

Explanation:Water molecules are bonded together by Hydrogen bonds, Hydrogen bonds are intermolecular forces binding the molecules of Oxygen with that of Hydrogen. When in an ICE state,the solid form of water will float on the liquid form of water, because the orientation of Hydrogen bonds pushes or makes the Ice molecules to stay far apart from each making it less Dense than liquid water.

Determine which compound would lower the freezing point of water the most?
Nina [5.8K]
All those compounds are ionic.

Then they dissociate into ions when they are in water.

I will write the dissociation equations. The charges of the ions is indicated inside parenthesis.

KI -> K (+) + I (-) => two ions 

K2SO4 -> 2 k(+) + SO4 (2-) -> three ions

NaCl -> Na(+) + Cl(-) => two ions

KBr -> K(+) + Br(-)

As  you se every molecule of the compound K2SO4 dissociates into three ions, while the other compounds dissociate into two ions. Given that the decrase in the freezong point of water is proportional to the number of particles dissolved, the K2SO4 will lower the freezing point the most.

Answer: option B. K2SO4

As a system becomes less random, its entropy *<br><br> decreases<br> remains the same<br> increases
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

decreases

Explanation:

The higher the entropy, the more unpredictable and the more random a value is, this is because entropy describes disorder of a system. If things are less random, that means they are predictable, which means they are more ordered.
