1kg of water is heated from 0 degrees C to 2 degrees C. Its volume will
- decrease.
- increase.
- stabilize.
Explanation
Water behaves anomalously between 0 and 4 degrees C: as it is warmed from 0 toward 4 degrees C it contracts rather than expands, reaching maximum density at 4 degrees C. Heating 1 kg of water from 0 to 2 degrees C therefore causes its volume to decrease slightly.
p.pukelis asking:
Shouldn't volume increase with the increase of temperature? Maybe someone has an explanation or is this question wrong.
