Question

question 14 of 20 > ice floats on water. for most other substances, however, the solid sinks in the liquid. classify each of these statements based on whether they describe water or most other substances. water most other substances answer bank the solid is less dense than the liquid. high pressure will cause the liquid to become solid. the molecules are closest in the solid phase. in a phase diagram, the solid - liquid coexistence line has a positive slope.

Explanation:

For water, ice (solid - phase) floats on liquid water because solid water is less dense than liquid water. For most substances, the solid phase is denser with molecules closer together, and the solid - liquid coexistence line in the phase diagram has a positive slope, meaning high pressure causes the liquid to become solid.

Answer:

Water: The solid is less dense than the liquid.
Most other substances: High pressure will cause the liquid to become solid., The molecules are closest in the solid phase., In a phase diagram, the solid - liquid coexistence line has a positive slope.
