Observation of anomalous behaviour of water using Hope's apparatus |
|
Answer» Anomalous expansion of WATER REFERS to the fact that water, UNLIKE most substances, expands when it freezes. The density of water increases as temperature decreases, but reaches a maximum at 4 degrees C then begins to expand. The significance of this is that ice is less dense than water so it floats in water. |
