Water shows a maximum density at

Question

Water shows a maximum density at (A) 10° C (B) 4° C (C) 0° C (D) 1° C

Due to anamolous expansion of water, when cooled below 40C, water expands instead of contraction and thus its density decreases. Also, on increasing the temperature above 40C, water expands and thus density decreases. Thus, It has maximum density at 4oC

Q. Water shows a maximum density at

$1 0^{\circ} C$

$4^{\circ} C$

$0^{\circ} C$

$1^{\circ} C$

Due to anamolous expansion of water, when cooled below 4⁰C, water expands instead of contraction and thus its density decreases. Also, on increasing the temperature above 4⁰C, water expands and thus density decreases. Thus, It has maximum density at $4^{o} C$
