Question

Ice at $0{}^{0}C$ has a lower density than water $4^{\circ }C$ and hence floats on water.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

$H_{2}O$ at 4${}^{\circ }C$ has maximum density. Ondecreasing the temperature from 4${}^{\circ }C$ to 0${}^{\circ }C$, its density decreases. Ice has 0${}^{\circ }C$ has also less density compared to water at 4${}^{\circ }C$. So, ice floats on water.
