In anomalous expansion of water, at what temperature, the density of water is maximum ?
- A \( 4^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \)
- B < \( 4^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \)
- C > \( 4^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \)
- D \( 10^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \)
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 \( 4^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \).
instead of expanding. In anomalous expansion of water, the density of water is maximum at \( 4^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \).
