Q137 / 180 · KCET 2014 · Physics
In anomalous expansion of water, at what temperature, the density of water is maximum ?
- Correct answerA\( 4^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \)
- B< \( 4^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \)
- C> \( 4^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \)
- D\( 10^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \)
Solution
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 \( 4^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \).
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
