Water is at a minimum temperature when it is frozen, which is 0 degrees Celsius or 32 degrees Fahrenheit
From my high school memory, I recalled that water has minimum volume when at 4 degrees Celcius. This is why it is able to penetrate rocks as it is cooling and then crack them apart once it freezes again.
Then I found this site http://www.simetric.co.uk/si_water.htm
which states
At 4°C pure water has a density (weight or mass) of about 1 g/cu.cm, 1 g/ml,
1 kg/litre, 1000 kg/cu.m, 1 tonne/cu.m or 62.4 lb/cu.ft
and
When water freezes it expands rapidly adding about 9 % by volume. Fresh water has a maximum density at around 4° Celsius. Water is the only substance where the maximum density does not occur when solidified. As ice is lighter than water, it floats.

∙ 9y agoWater has its maximum density at 4 degree C.
If you cool or heat water from 4 degree C, the density will decrease.
Minimum density will be at 0 C if you are cooling it from 4 C.
Minimum density will be at 100 C if you are heating it.

When water is warmed from its freezing temperature to its temperature of maximum density it?
expands
What has a effect on water density?
Density of a liquid is indirectly proportional to the temperature. When the temperature raises, the density of the liquid decreases. Therefor the temperature has an effect on water density.
What is d density of normal water?
Generally, barring unusual temperatures / pressures the density of water is 1 g / mL The density of water at sea level pressure and 4C temperature is exactly 1 g/mL, at different temperatures it is always less. At different pressures things become more complicated.
Is the density of 1.00L of water greater than the density of 1.00qt of water?
No. As long as they're at the same temperature.
What are the factors that influence the density of water?
Temperature and Salinity
What temperature does pure water reach maximum density?
4 degrees Celsius
What degree Celsius does water reach maximum density?
Water reaches maximum density at 4 degrees Celsius
The Temperature at which water possesses maximum density is?
At 4C density is maximum.It is measured as 1000Kg/m3.
When is water's density at its greatest?
The maximum density of water occurs at a temperature of 4°C
How is density of water related to temperature?
The density of water increase from 100 oC to 4 oC (here is a maximum); after this temperature the density decrease.
When water is warmed from its freezing temperature to its temperature of maximum density it?
expands
At what temperature does maximum density occur?
In most substances, maximum density occurs at the lowest temperature attainable. The only substance that this is not true for is water, whose maximum density is at 3.98 degrees Celsius.
At what temperature does luquid water have its maximum density?
~4 °C
What happens to a sample water when it is heated between 4c and 100c?
Its temperature rises. As 40C is the temperature where water has its maximum density, then the density will drop as well
At what temperature does fresh water have the highest density?
The maximum density of ultrapure water (0,9999720 g/cm3) is at 3,98 0C.
As water is cooled from 4 degrees C to 0 degrees C its density?
4° C is the temperature of maximum density for water. Change temperature in either direction from there -- whether you warm it or cool it -- the density decreases.
How does temperature affect water?
The temperature and salinity of seawater determine its density. Water gets denser as it gets saltier and reaches a maximum density at 4 °C. Salinity does affect the boiling point and freezing point of water, but not its temperature.
