View Full Version : which one weighs more lackofskill 12-15-05, 01:46 PM Does cold water weigh more than hot water. I think that it does.....but im not sure... blobrana 12-15-05, 02:27 PM Hum, per volume, yeah... You should have asked about ice.... Ophiolite 12-15-05, 02:30 PM Maximum density is reached at 4 degrees celsius, so very cold water weighs less than water at 4 degrees. blobrana 12-15-05, 02:40 PM Hum, http://www.lsbu.ac.uk/water/images/anomal3.gif From Here (http://www.lsbu.ac.uk/water/anmlies.html) (Forty-one Anomalies of Water) DaleSpam 12-15-05, 04:20 PM Maximum density is reached at 4 degrees celsius, so very cold water weighs less than water at 4 degrees.Most of the deep-water ocean environment is at a pretty constant 4ºC (except around geothermal vents etc.) regardless of lattitude or surface temps. I think it is because that is the most dense temperature and to change temperature either up or down you have to fight the pressure. -Dale Enigma'07 12-15-05, 08:39 PM Can some one explain this? weight=(mass)(Acceleration due to gravity) wouldn't they have the same mass, regardless of temp; the acceleration should be the same too? DaleSpam 12-15-05, 09:34 PM The point is that the same volume of water will have more mass at 4º than at another temperature. Since it has more mass the weight will be greater according to the equation you mentioned. -Dale Enigma'07 12-16-05, 01:46 PM So the molecules are moving slower which means there is room for more molecules? Idle Mind 12-16-05, 08:23 PM In a way, but it is more due to how water molecules interact with each other (hydrogen bonding between the oxygen of one water molecule, and a hydrogen of another). skidochufada 12-17-05, 08:15 PM mass is same, weigt is more in cold though. learned that last year, also if you drop something in it, it would take longer for it to go through. |
