If density ussualy increases with decreasing temperature why does ice float on liquid water

Biology
1 answer:
inysia [295]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

As the temperature becomes colder, the water molecules lose energy and move less. The hydrogen bonds that form when water freezes into ice allow the molecules to be spaced farther apart, making them take more space, decreasing the overall density and making it float in the water.

I hope this helped :)

Which factors of Earth's position would contribute to long-term climate change?
vazorg [7]

Answer:

A) its elliptical orbit and tilt on its axis  

Explanation:

Earth revolves around the sun in an elliptical path. Its axis is tilted to about 23.5° from the vertical.

These two factors determine the global climate on the Earth.

Due to elliptical orbit, the earth is sometimes closer to sun than the rest of the time. When it is closer the global temperature rises by 5 degrees. Due to the tilt of the Earth, seasons occur. The hemisphere which points towards the sun has summers where as which points away has winters.

Thus, the long-term climate change is effected by elliptical orbit and tilt of the axis.

how does a substance's temperature change when the average kinetic energy of its particles increases? When it increases?
torisob [31]
Average kinetic energy is directly proportional to temperature, so when kinetic energy decreases so does temperature and when kinetic energy increases so does temperature.

At which of the following temperatures is the speed of a given chemical reaction the fastest?
Rashid [163]
There are many factors that affect the rate of chemical reactions and temperature is one of them.
Typically, the higher the temperature of a chemical reaction the faster the reaction occur, that is, the temperature and the rate of chemical reaction are directly related. This is due to the fact that increasing the temperature of the reaction increases the kinetic energy of the reacting particles and thus they are able to move faster and the reaction also occur faster. Thus, from the options given, the correct answer will be D [40 degree], this is because, it is the highest temperature out of all the options given.
