Since water molecules are closer together when colder so more “water” in a given amount of space(or molecules in general I think I could be wrong, I could be wrong about this whole thing) could it be reasoned that drinking cold water results in drinking more water than hot water? And if not how come?
In: Chemistry
Yes, for a constant volume, colder water will weigh *slightly* more than warm water. The difference is negligible in the amounts you normally drink. At 4degC water weighs 1g/cm^3 and at 49.8 degF it weighs 0.9887 g/cm^3. So if you drink 1L of water at 4C you get 1000 grams of water, if the water is 49.8C you get 988.7 grams.
