- Water exhibits an anomalous behaviour; it contracts on heating between 0°C and 4°C.
- The volume of a given amount of water decreases as it is cooled from room temperature until its temperature reaches 4°C. Below 4 °C, the volume increases, and therefore the density decreases.
- This means that water has a maximum density (1 g/cm3) at 4°C.
- As explained above due to anomalous behaviour of water when water is heated from 0° C to 10° C, then its volume first decreases and then increases although mass remains constant.
- This can be represented as below
- When water boils at a certain temperature it turns into steam. When it is cooled to a certain temperature it freezes and becomes ice.
- Water boils at 100°C and freezes at 0°C.
