Water on heating from 1 to 4°C___________________?

Correct answer: A. Contracts

  • A. Contracts
  • B. Expands
  • C. Has same volume
  • D. May contract or expand

Explanation

Water has its minimum specific volume, or maximum density, at about 4°C. Consequently, heating it from 1°C to 4°C causes contraction rather than expansion.
