Answer:option B
Explanation:
i. At 0C-4C---> Volume of water decreases while its density increases
ii. At 4C---> Water attains minimum volume and maximum density at g/cm^3
iii. At 4C-100C---> Volume of water increases while its density decreases
so therefore, from the above explanation, the volume of a fixed mass of water is "MINIMUM"
The explanation is kinda silly in my opinion. Especially for people who haven't done the anomalous expansion of water.
Basically, when you heat a substance, it's volume expands.
When you cool a substance, it's volume shrinks
This is true for water, except for at 0°c to 4°c
At 4°c if you cool it, it will expand instead of shrink.
At 4°c if you heat it, it will also expand
With that information, we can derive that the density is highest at 4°c
Density and Volume are inversely proportional. That means, if the density increase by 10x, then the volume will decrease by 10x
Since the density is the highest at 4°c, we can conclude that the volume at 4°c is the lowest or in other words, minimum.
the answer shud be "minimum" besides,from the explanation given,it means thesame thing.."minimum"
