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 happens to water at 4 degree?
at -4 degrees celsius if the water is a solid state of matter,it will turn into a liquid
What happens to water between 0 to -4 degree Celsius?
The water become a solid (ice) and the volume increase.
What changes do happen to water structure at 4 degree celsius?
That's the point of maximum density.
What is the mass of 29.35ml of water at 4 degree?
The mass of 29, 35 mL of water at 4 Celsius degrees is 29,349 178 2 g.
What liquid expands when heated?
All liquids expand when heated. e.g. Mercury in a thermometer. One exception may be water when heated form 0 to 4 degrees Celsius.
What is Anomalous expansion of water?
The expansion of water when it is cooled from four degree centigrade to zero degree centigrade is known as "anomalous expansion of water." The unusual behaviour of water, when it expands below 4° celsius to 0° is called anmalus expansion of water.
What degree Celsius does water reach maximum density?
Water reaches maximum density at 4 degrees Celsius
What happens to water at 4 degrees Celsius?
at -4 degrees celsius if the water is a solid state of matter,it will turn into a liquid
What is the unit weight of water at 4 degree Celsius interms of Nm3?
In 4 degree celsius the density of water is high at the level . And it unit in SI is 1000kg\m and in CGS 1g\cm
What happens to water at 4 degree?

Does water expand in a tank that is heated?
For the most part, liquid water expands when heated, and so does pretty much every material. Water's volumetric expansion is a few hundred parts per million per degree Celsius. The interesting thing about water, though, is that if it's below 4°C it expands as it gets colder, i.e. it has a negative volumetric expansion coefficient.
How do fishes remain alive at 4 degree celsius?
how do fishes remain alive at 4 degree celsius?
Is this true that water contracts on cooling but it expands when cooled further from 4 degree C to 0 degree C?
Yes it contract and the expansion from 4 to 0 degrees is due to the crystallisation of water molecules.
Is -4 degree celsius colder or -6 degree celsius?
-6 degrees Celsius is colder; it is farther from zero than -4 degrees.
What happens to water between 0 to -4 degree Celsius?
The water become a solid (ice) and the volume increase.
What changes do happen to water structure at 4 degree celsius?
That's the point of maximum density.
How much does water shrink from a liquid to a frozen solid?
Water shrinks when it expands.Water DOES NOT shrink it expands. It shrinks like it is supposed to at first. When it hits 4 degrees Celsius (39 degrees F.), it expands greatly.Hope this helps!Layla M.
