we know that density of water is maximum at 3.98°C but when it is cooled below 0°C, will its density decrease by decreasing temperature and will there be a temperature at which its will be higher than that at 3.98°C...?
The density of water at 0°C is 1 gram per cubic centimeter.
The density of water decreases as the temperature increases, and increases as the temperature decreases. This is due to the expansion and contraction of water molecules as the temperature changes.
Water reaches its maximum density at 4°C. This means that at this temperature, the water molecules are closest together and the water is most compact.
When water is cooled below 0°C, it starts to freeze and form ice. This causes the density of water to decrease even further, as the molecules spread out and form a crystalline structure.
Yes, under certain conditions, water can have a density greater than 1 gram per cubic centimeter. This can occur at very high pressures or when certain substances are dissolved in the water, such as salt. However, at standard atmospheric pressure, the maximum density of water is 1 gram per cubic centimeter at 4°C.
