Asked by Bob

If a soft-drink bottle whose volume is 1.50 is completely filled with water and then frozen to -10 , what volume does the ice occupy?

Water has a density of 0.997 at 25 ; ice has a density of 0.917 at -10 .

Could you also explain the steps as to how I would go about solving this problem or one like it?

1.5 WHAT?
Answered by DrBob222
If we say bottle is 1.5L, then
mass water = 1,500 mL x 0.997 g/mL = 1495.5 grams.

When frozen to -10,
volume = mass/density = 1495.5/0.917 = ?
