Question

Among the following , the liquid having negative coefficient of cubical expansion between 273K and 277K is

Easy
Solution

273 K = 0°C

277 K = 4°C

On heating from 0°C, volume of water gradually decreases and becomes minimum at 4°C. So in the range 273 K to 277 K, coefficient of cubical expansion of water is negative.
