The precise volume of water in a beaker depends on the temperature of the water. Rank from greatest to least the volume of water at these temperatures: (a) 0°C, (b) 4°C, and (c) 10°C. @Abhisar

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Least will be at 4°C

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Highest will be at 10°C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you figure that out?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Water has a special property ! Volume of other substances increase with an increase with temperature and decrease with a decrease in temperature

OpenStudy (abhisar):

But with water, it decreases upto 4°C and then start increasing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i understand now

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Due to this the density of ice (0°C) is smaller than liquid water (density=mass/volume). Due to this ice floats on water.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Isn't it amazing ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

indeed
