Question

Water contracts on heating

• A. to $100^{\circ }C$
• B. from $0^{\circ }C$ to $4^{\circ }C$
• C. to 273 K
• D. from $10^{\circ }C$ to $20^{\circ }C$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

When water is heated from $0^{\circ }C$ to $4^{\circ }C$ , its density increases and volume decreases. $\left(d=\frac{m}{V}\right)$
