Which of the following goes through the largest volumetric change? Question 4 options: A) Water when it's heated from 1oC to 99oC B) Water when it freezes into ice C) Ice when it melts into water D) Water when it boils into steam

Water when it freezes into ice

Explanation:

Most liquids expand when heated and contract when cooled, water behaves in an anomalous fashion. Water rather expands when cooled and contracts when heated.

Water usually contracts on cooling from any temperature until 4°C, after 4°C, the water begins to expand rapidly. Hence water has its least volume at 4°C and increases rapidly afterwards.

Thus the largest volume change for water occurs during freezing since it expands when cooled.

acid rain does not usually kill trees directly. instead, it is more likely to weaken the trees by damaging their leaves, limiting the nutrients available to them, or poisoning them with toxic substances slowly released from the soil. the main atmospheric pollutants that affect trees are nitrates and sulphates.
