Toby Ho · Answer 1

2.175 L

Explanation:

temperature (T) = 25 degrees

volume of water (v) = 2 L = 2000 mL

density of water = 0.997 g/mL

density of ice = 0.917 g/mL

we can get the mass of the water and the use it to get the volume when it freezes to ice, this is because the mass remains the same irrespective of the change of state.

mass of water = volume x density = 2000 x 0.997 = 1994 g volume of ice = mass/density = 1994 / 0.917 = 2174.5 mL = 2.175 L
