10-1.Thermometry, Thermal Expansion and Calorimetry
easy
The freezing point of the liquid decreases when pressure is increased, if the liquid
A
Expands while freezing
B
Contracts while freezing
C
Does not change in volume while freezing
D
None of these
Solution
(a) Freezing point of water decreases when pressure increases, because water expands on solidification while “except water” for other liquid freezing point increases with increase in pressure.
Since the liquid in question is water.
Hence, it expands on freezing.
