The temperature at which the density of water is greatest.
Answer to Problem 17A
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The density of any substance is equal to the ratio of its mass by its volume. The density of almost all substances is greatest in its solid phase than in the liquid state. This means that the colder the substance,the greater is its density. But water does not show this property because ice floats on water.
