It's all in the title. I'm looking for a mathematical relationship.
The volume of liquid water is directly proportional to temperature. This means that as the temperature increases, the volume of liquid water also increases. Similarly, as the temperature decreases, the volume of liquid water decreases.
The relationship between the volume of liquid water and temperature is described by Charles's Law, which states that at a constant pressure, the volume of a gas (or liquid) is directly proportional to its temperature.
The volume of liquid water increases with temperature because as the temperature increases, the molecules in the water gain energy and move faster, causing them to take up more space and increase the overall volume of the liquid.
Yes, there is a limit to how much the volume of liquid water can change with temperature. This is known as the boiling point, which is the temperature at which liquid water turns into gas. At this point, the volume of water increases significantly as it turns into steam.
Liquid water is unique because it has a specific temperature, known as the maximum density point, at which it is most dense. This means that at temperatures above or below this point, the volume of water decreases. This behavior is different from most other substances, as they typically follow Charles's Law more closely.
