Question

When water is heated from 0${}^{o}C$, it continuously expands. State whether true or false.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Water has a unique property of anomalous expansion. When water is heated from $0^{o}C$ to $4^{o}C$ it contracts continuously instead of expanding. That means its volume decreases upto $4^{o}C$. When water heated from $4^{o}C$ its expansion becomes normal like the expansion of other liquids.
