   ocr: ICE AND STEAM TCE IS WATER in its solid, or frozen, form at 39°F (4°C), whereas the solid state. An unusual property ofwater form ofasubstance is usually the ist that it expands as it freezes, densest. This is the reason that ice increasing in volume by about floats on water. Steam is water in its 9 percent. Because of this, gaseous state. It can be produced by water is at its most heating water to 212°F (100°C) or dense in its liquid by increasing pressure on it. Steam power Preserving ice Water molecules gain energy. from Ice reduces the temperature ofthe the beat, and form steam, which fish ...
