Question 4

State the volume changes observed when a given mass of water is heated from 0°C to 10°C. Sketch a temperature-volume graph to show the behavior.

Answer

The volume of water first decreases on heating it from 0°C to 4°C and then increases on further heating it from 4°C to 10°C. The volume of water is thus minimum at 4°C.

Temperature-Volume graph showing the variation in volume of water from 0°C to 10°C is shown below:
