Question

Water at $4^{0}$ C is filled to the brim of 2 beakers. A boy performed an experiment A of heating and B of cooling. The observation was :

A

water level in B went down and in A water flowed out

B

water flowed out in both the cases

C

water flowed out in B and water level went down in A

D

water level went down in both cases

Solution

Verified by Toppr

Correct option is B)

Water has anomalous expansion from $4^{0}$ C to $0^{0}$ C.
Water expands when heated from $4^{0}$ C onwards.
Since water expands in both the cases, it will overflow from both experiments A and B.
