In anomalous expansion of water, at what temperature, the density of water is maximum ?

  1. A \( 4^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \)
  2. B < \( 4^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \)
  3. C > \( 4^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \)
  4. D \( 10^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \( 4^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The anomalous expansion of water is a special property of water where on raising the temperature water contract
instead of expanding. In anomalous expansion of water, the density of water is maximum at \( 4^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \).
