Passage V
Density is defined as the mass of a substance divided by its volume:
Table 1 lists the phases and the densities, in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm3), of various pure substances at 25°C and 1 atmosphere (atm) of pressure.
Figure 1 shows how the density of liquid water changes with temperature.
Figure 2 shows how the density of solid water changes with temperature.
25. According to Figure 1, as the temperature of liquid water decreases from 10°C to 0°C, the density:
Your Answer is
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
Look at figure 1, as the temperature on the abscissa decreases from 10°C to 0°C, the density on the ordinate first increases and then decreases
