Adding ice into warm water?

Question

If I add 2 liters of ice in 10 liters of Water what will be the resultant ? in term of liters ?

Answer 1

Previous answer is perfect.

Just like to add that water has anamalous expansion- i.e. its density change as we change temperature from negatives to positives or vice versa , is not uniform.

Density of water is max at 4 deg centigrade ( to calculate farenheit use F = (C * 9/5) + 32 ).

So ICE, which is likely to be below 0 deg C under normal pressure, when added to warm water will begin to gain temperature. So as ice temp goes from say -10 deg C to 4 deg C it will begin to contract. So at 4 deg C the total volume of water + ice will be at its lowest.

Now as temperature further rises that volume of ice which will be water by then will continue to expand further towards the settling temperature and the density of that portion of water that came from ice will begin to decrease , resulting in the increase in the volume of water. The final volume of water if the water we added ice to, was warm enough, will be higher slightly that the 12ltrs.

[Also the final volume will depend on what the final temperature of the mixture comes out to be. This will depend on the temperature ice and water we started with initially ]

Answer 2

the ice will melt and the contents will rise to what that guy said (a little under 12 litres)

Answer 3

The result will be a little less than 12 liters of water. That is because when water freezes, it expands, so 2 liters of ice will turn into less than 2 liters of water when it melts. Water also expands when it gets warm, so as the ice cools the water, the volume will decrease.

Answer 4

first the volume will increase to 12 litres

then it will come down
