Question

A beaker is completely filled with water at 4oC. It will overflow if: (A) heated above 4?C (B) cooled below 4?C (C) both heated and cooled above and below 4?C respectively (D) none of the above

At 4° C density of water is maximum. So, if water is heated or cooled above and below 4° C , then it density will decrease, so the volume will increase. Hence, water will overflow.

Q. A beaker is completely filled with water at $4^{o} C .$ It will overflow if:

heated above 4?C

cooled below 4?C

both heated and cooled above and below 4?C respectively

none of the above

At $4^{\circ} C$ density of water is maximum. So, if water is heated or cooled above and below $4^{\circ} C$ , then it density will decrease, so the volume will increase. Hence, water will overflow.
