![]() In fresh water the opposite may happen, depending on the temperature. Usually when a liquid is heated the molecules acquire more energy and become more widely spaced, so in the same volume, the density decreases. įigures 5b and c show that the temperature and the density increase with depth from the surface to the bottom layer, where the temperature is 3.98 ☌ and density is at its maximum. (b) Temperature structure throughout the lake: there are three layers: a. Figure 5 (a) Section through a lake showing ice on the surface. The green line them runs vertically down through the bottom layer at approximately 999.98 kg m −3. In the intermediate layer the green line shows a linear increase in density with depth from 999.82 kg m −3 to approximately 999.98 kg m −3. The density starts at approximately 999.82 kg m −3 at the surface and remains at that value down to the top of the intermediate layer. The green line shows the same pattern of change as the red temperature line in Figure (b). There is a green line indicating the density. The horizontal axis is located at the top of the figure and is labelled 'density/kg m −3' and is marked from 999.8 kg m −3 to 1000 kg m −3 in intervals of 0.1 kg m −3. It has the same colour and layering as Figure (a), except there are no labels and the top 2 layers (ice and surface layer at 0 ☌) have been merged into one layer. The red line then runs vertically down through the bottom layer at approximately 4 ☌.įigure (c), on the right presents density data as a line graph. In the intermediate layer the red line shows an linear increase in temperature with depth from 0 ☌ to approximately 4 ☌. The red line runs vertically, at a temperature of 0 ☌ from the top of the graph to the top of the intermediate layer. There is a red line indicating the temperature. There is black directional arrow head pointing downward at the lower end of the axis. The vertical axis is labelled 'depth increasing' with no quantitative markings. The horizontal axis is located at the top of the figure and is labelled 'temperature/☌' and is marked from −1 ☌ to 5 ☌ in intervals of 1 ☌. The layer at the bottom is labelled 'deep layer at 3.98 ☌', is the widest of the layers and is shaded in the darker blue.įigure (b), in the middle, presents temperature data as a line graph. ![]() The layer below that is labelled 'intermediate layer', is the second narrowest of the 4 layers and is shaded in slightly darker shade of blue than the top 2 layers. The layer below this is labelled 'surface layer at 0 ☌', is the third narrowest of the 4 layers and shaded very pale blue. The top layer is labelled 'ice', is the narrowest of the 4 layers and is shaded very pale blue. This diagram shows the depth profile of the lake along with 4 identified layers to this profile. thats 4 ounces more, lucky Brits.This is a series of 3 diagrams that show the change in temperature and density with depth in a lake and within designated layers within the depth profile of the lake.įigure (a) is on the far left and is labelled 'side view of lake' The source I used did not give temperature so even this is an estimate.īy the way, in the United States we do not use imperial gallons or imperial anything, at lest not since the revolution, we use a scale called avoirdupois I guess the originator of the thread was British? In avoirdupois the measurement is so close as to be meaningless in the home, not so in the Imperial system.īy the way, a pint of beer in the UK measures around 20 Fluid Ounces in the US. Since Ounces weight (avoirdupois) and Fluid Ounces are actually totally unrelated scales (the term ounce has many meanings) there happens to be a nice accident so that a fluid ounce of water actually weighs 1.0425 ounces avoirdupois. How technical and accurate do we need to be in baking? Here are the exact densities and, yes, temperature does matter, in analytical chemistry, not in baking.ġ milliliter (ml) = 1 cubic centimeter (cc) of pure water at 4 degrees centigrade - water's densist state (it expands on the phase change of freezing into a solid), so, 1 cubic centimeter contains 1 gram of water at 4 deg.
