No. When water is cooled it contracts up to 4 degrees Celsius and then it begins to expand till 0 degrees Celsius. This is called the anomalous expansion of water.

Do any matter expand when cooled and contract when heated?

Sort of. In the temperature range of 0-4 Degrees Celsius water contracts when heated and expands when cooled. Outside of this temperature range it behaves normally.

water True, but only in the range 4 degrees Celsius to zero Celsius.


Does water contract or expand when it is cooled?

When liquid water is cooled, it contracts like one would expect until a temperature of approximately 4 degrees Celsius is reached. After that, it expands slightly until it reaches the freezing point, and then when it freezes it expands by approximately 9%

What is the mass of water at 25 degrees Celsius if the volume of water is unknown?

Question makes no sense - unanswerable. Nothing changes mass when heated or cooled.


Why does water expands at 4 degree celsius?

Water has curious thermal properties. It contracts (gets denser) as it cools down just like other materials. However, at 4 degrees Celsius, it reaches the maximum density of 1 and then starts expanding if it is further cooled. Ice formed at zero degree Celsius is actually less dense than water and floats on it.


What is waters reaction to heat?

Water has three states Solid (ice) liquid (water) gas (steam) When water is heated it expands and when it is cooled it contracts until about 4 degrees Celsius when it begins to expand again. So the answer to your question is it depends on what temperature the water is. If it is a liquid and over 4 degrees then it will expand. If it is not frozen but somewhere between 0 and 4 degrees it will contract until about 4 degrees and then expand. Under 0 degrees it is ice not water, over 100 degrees it is steam not water.
