When you freeze water in a bottle does that make more water than before or is it the same amount?

Question

Whenever I freeze water in a water bottle I always wonder if I have more water or if it is just an 'illusion.' So by freezing water does it give me more water or what?

Answer 1

ice makes the bottle expand but you have not created or lost any of the water

Answer 2

im pretty sure that when water freezes the molecules expand making the bottle bigger and when it melts you should have the same ammount im about 89% sure of this

Answer 3

same amount of water, it just expands while it freezes.

Answer 4

It's the same amount...."ice" just takes up more room than liquid....that's why the water bottle may appear "swollen".

Answer 5

As long as the lid is tightly secure, there is the same amount of water in the frozen bottle as in the unfrozen bottle. The frozen bottle may increase in size, but the volume of water contained is the same. As water freezes, it tends to take up more space than it did before, but if it is contained in some manner, then there will be the same volume of water after you you melt it as there was before you froze it.

Answer 6

well you shouldn't put water bottles with water in the freezer cause it causes cancer

Answer 7

Unlike most liquids water expands when it freezes.  It gets about 9% bigger.  When is warms up and returns to water, there is exactly the same amount as before it froze.

That is the reason ice floats and water bottles can split when frozen.

Answer 8

when you freeze water the molecular structure changes causing the water to expand. So yes, the water takes on more volume when frozen. However, when you let the water melt back to its original state it will cause condensation on the outside of the bottle. That may cause there to be less water than when you started but I'm not completely sure. I agree with the person who said that you shouldnt freeze your water in a plastic bottle because it does cause cancer.

Answer 9

it doesnt create more just when you freeze it rises for some reason

Answer 10

Ice is less dense(density .916 kg/cu.m) than cold water (density 1.000kg/cu.m at 4 degrees Centigrade;it is lighter and floats on top). So the water filled in occupies more volume when frozen. This raises the level of water in the bottle( or breaks the bottle (if perfectly sealed in) and hence appears to be more in quantity (more apparent since the bottles are narrower in the neck).

Answer 11

i think theres less water in the bottle because when i freeze my water i wait for it to melt then theres always less water in there

Answer 12

Its the same amount of water. The water particles expand and are still instead of in motion.
