23 Anomalous Behaviour of Water MCQs from Chemistry, each with the correct answer and a written explanation of why it is correct. Free and unlimited, with no account needed.

Water expands when cooled below 4°C and when it freezes, giving liquid water its maximum density at 4°C. The explanation depends on hydrogen bonding and the open structure of ice, which makes ice less dense than water and allows it to float.

  • A. 2°C
  • B. 4°C
  • C. 0°C
  • D. <0°C

Explanation: When water is at 0 ° C , it takes a cage-like structure, and thus the volume increases which results in the density decrease.

Correct answer: 4°C
  • A. Colorless
  • B. Is a bad conductor
  • C. Does not expand linearly
  • D. Has a low boiling point of 100oC

Explanation: The correct answer is that water does not expand linearly. Water's anomalous expansion, particularly its contraction from 0°C to 4°C and…

Correct answer: Does not expand linearly
  • A. Lighter
  • B. Highest
  • C. Heavier
  • D. Heaviest

Explanation: Water has the highest density at 4 degree C as the cage-like structure which forms when water freezes starts breaking.

Correct answer: Heaviest
