What is the temperature at which water attains maximum density?
-
4 degree Celsius
-
4 degree Fahrenhiet
-
0 degree Celsius
-
0 degree Fahrenhiet
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Water reaches its maximum density at approximately 4 degrees Celsius. This anomalous property occurs because water molecules form a more compact structure at this temperature as hydrogen bonding creates an optimal arrangement, unlike most substances which are densest at their freezing point.
