Question

Which best describes the type of change that occurs when liquid water freezes to become ice and will float in liquid water?

physical change in which the ice is less dense than the liquid water

chemical change in which the ice is less dense than the liquid water

physical change in which the ice is more dense than the liquid water

chemical change in which the ice is more dense than the liquid water

Answer 1

So first do you know the difference between a physical change and a chemical change? A physical change can be reversible, while a chemical change is not

Answer 2

Yes i do know

Answer 3

so what is the answer??

Answer 4

So the conversion of states of matter are examples of physical changes, so we can eliminate B and D. Density measures the ratio of the weight of something and how big it is. If something is more dense than water, it will sink for that reason. If it has less density, then the object will float. This best fits option A

Answer 5

ok thank you

Answer 6

The best description for the type of change that occurs when liquid water freezes to become ice and will float in liquid water is a physical change in which the ice is less dense than the liquid water.
