General Science / Re: Why Does A Litre Of 100C Water Have MORE Mass Than When The Water Cools To 4c ?
« on: 08/03/2012 10:39:57 »
Whilst circumventing the Plimsol line, Sir Francis Einstein discovered that water at 10C has a density of approx 999.7g/l, whilst on heating up to 99C, the density reduced to 958.4g/l. This makes good sense when you visualise all those extra energy water molecules dashing about everywhere bumping into stuff.
Thus that eveng he mused that hot bottles of fixed volume would have nearly 4% less mass liquid in it than a cold one even though he hadn't accounted for thermal expansion coefficient. From this was derived the invention of the potato which strangely has almost exactly the same density as his own head.
I rest my case.
