Question

In anomalous expansion of water, at what temperature, the density of water is maximum ? (A) 4° C (B) <4° C (C)  > 4° C (D) 10°C

When cooled from room temperature liquid water becomes dense, as with other substances, but at approximately 4° C (39 F), pure water reaches its maximum density. If it is cooled further, it expands to become less dense.
