Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
You put 100 ml of water in a cup and weigh it. It weighs 92 grams. You freeze it and it expands. How much does it weigh now?
A
90 grams
B
91 grams
C
92 grams
D
93 grams
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The mass of 100ml of water is 100 grams. Each milliliter of water weighs one gram, which makes determining the mass of a volume of water fairly straightforward.

Detailed explanation-2: -Even though the volume of water changes as it becomes ice, the mass of the water should remain the same before and after it turns into ice.

Detailed explanation-3: -As a result, ice is less dense than the liquid form. Water is the only known non-metallic substance that expands when it freezes; its density decreases and it expands approximately 9% by volume.

Detailed explanation-4: -1 cup full of water, weighs the same as that same cup full of water which is then frozen. Water takes up less space when liquid as the same amount of water which is then frozen (solid).. Since once frozen, it becomes less dense, (takes up more space) but it’s weight will not change.
