Praxis 5005 Practice Test Practice Question
Which of the following is a true statement about liquid water?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Liquid water takes the shape of its container, a characteristic of fluids, allowing it to adapt to different shapes while maintaining a constant volume.
Option A is incorrect; liquid water is denser than water vapor due to the closer arrangement of its molecules. Option B is also incorrect; the particles in liquid water move faster than those in solid water (ice), where particles are more tightly packed and vibrate in place. Option C is misleading; while all liquids can be compressed to some extent, liquid water is relatively incompressible compared to gases, making significant volume reduction impractical.
