Document Summary
Water freezes at different temperatures than it is expected freezing or boiling water"s has a high specific heat compared to other substances. This allows when energy is added for water"s latent heat of vaporization or cooling, the. This is due to the properties of water itself. It has varying densities in the liquid and solid phases it fluctuates. Also there is a dielectric charge, which is relatively large for water. water to be able to stabilize and maintain its temperature more and that also stabilizes the environment around it. The crystals are forming large from big hydrogen bonds. But the fact that it is getting to a cooler temperature makes the molecules contract more. But closer to the temperature of 4 degrees celsius the crystals are the largest compared to the shrinking so that is when water has the largest density.
