In anomalous expansion of water, at what temperature, the density of water is maximum? [KCET 2014]

a
4°C
b
< 4°C
c
> 4°C
d
10°C

detailed solution

Correct option is A

When cooled from room temperature, liquid water becomes dense as compared to other substances, but at approximately 4°C (39° F), pure water reaches its maximum density. If it is cooled further, it expands to become less dense.
