Question

When water is heated from 0° C to 10° C , its volume: (A) decreases continuously (B) first decreases and then increases (C) first increases and then decreases (D) increases continuously

Unlike other liquids water contracts instead of expanding, when heated from

0^{o}

to

4^{o} C .

after which it continues to expand in usual manner.
Water has least volume and maximum density at

4^{o} C .

Therefore, due to anomalous expansion of water its volume decreases upto

4^{o} C

and then increases.

Q. When water is heated from 0∘C to 10∘C , its volume:

decreases continuously

first decreases and then increases

first increases and then decreases

increases continuously

Unlike other liquids water contracts instead of expanding, when heated from 0o to 4oC. after which it continues to expand in usual manner.Water has least volume and maximum density at 4oC. Therefore, due to anomalous expansion of water its volume decreases upto 4oC and then increases.
