Question

A sealed glass jar is full of water. When it is kept in a freezing mixture, it is broken because :

A

water expands from $4^{o} C$ to $0^{o} C$

B

ice expands while melting

C

water expands due to freezing

Correct option is A)

Anomalous expansion of water occurs when cooled from $4^{0}$ C to $0^{0}$ C.
Hence, the sealed glass jar will be broken.
