    Question

    When 1 kg of water is cooled from 4°C to 0°C, its volume _______.

    A.

    first decreases and then increases

    B.

    decreases

    C.

    increases

    D.

    remains the same

    Correct option is C


    Water expands abnormally between 4°C and 0°C. When liquid water is cooled, it contracts as expected until it reaches a temperature of about 4 degrees Celsius.
    In normal cases, the volume of substances increases on heating and decreases while cooling. When 1 litre of water is cooled from 4°C to 0°C volume of water will start increasing this due to water's unique property known as 'Anomalous Expansion of Water'.
