(Solved): The anomalous expansion characteristics of liquid water are crucial to many biological systems. ...



The anomalous expansion characteristics of liquid water are crucial to many biological systems. Rather than an approximately constant value for the coefficient of volume expansion, the value for water changes drastically, as illustrated in figure 1.

Below what temperature T does water shrink when heated?

If the temperature of water at 30°c is raised by 1°c, the water will expand. at approximately what initial temperature T will water expand by twice as much when raised by 1°c

here in this question, we will apply the concept of volume expansion to solve the problem.

we know that the change in volume with the variation in temperature is given by,


the change in volume of a substance depends on the change in volume, the coefficient of volume expansion and the initial volume.



  

where   represents the volume change.
   is the coefficient of volume expansion.
   is the initial volume,
and    is the volume change.
