Concept explainers
(a)
To define: The level of the water on adding the ice cubes into it.
Introduction: Ice is a solid form of water. It can be transparent or can be bluish. It is due to the presence of certain impurities, such as bubbles of air or can be soil particles.
(b)
To determine: The amount of water level will rise or decline on adding the ice cubes in it.
Introduction: The solid structure of ice contains intermolecular interactions that are in the present ordered form. The structure is due to the presence of four hydrogen atoms that surround the single oxygen atom.
(c)
To determine: The reason that the water level will rise after adding the ice into the glass of water.
Introduction: The floating of the ice cube into the water is the result of the variation in the densities of the two. The density of water is somewhat more than the density of the ice.
