When water freezes, its volume increases by 9.05% (that is, equation). What force per unit area is water capable of exerting on a container when it freezes?

Answer:

1.991 × 10^(8) N/m²

Explanation:

We are told that its volume increases by 9.05%.

Thus; (ΔV/V_o) = 9.05% = 0.0905

To find the force per unit area which is also pressure, we will use bulk modulus formula;

B = Δp(V_o/ΔV)

Making Δp the subject gives;

Δp = B(ΔV/V_o)

Now, B is bulk modulus of water with a value of 2.2 × 10^(9) N/m²

Thus;

Δp = 2.2 × 10^(9)[0.0905]

Δp = 1.991 × 10^(8) N/m²
