A) decreases continuously
B) first decreases and then increases
C) first increases and then decreases
D) increases continuously
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
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.You need to login to perform this action.
