Question

at what temperature does water stop contracting and begin to expand? 4 degrees celsius 32 degrees celsius 0 degrees celsius

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Water has an anomalous expansion property. When cooled from room temperature, it contracts until it reaches 4 degrees Celsius. Below 4 degrees Celsius, it starts to expand. 32 degrees Celsius is much higher than the temperature where water's expansion - contraction behavior changes. 0 degrees Celsius is the freezing point of water (at standard pressure), but the change from contraction to expansion occurs at 4 degrees Celsius.

Answer:

4 degrees Celsius
