Q137 / 180 · KCET 2014 · Physics

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

  • Correct answer
    A
    \( 4^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \)
  • 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 \( 4^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \).

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
