The density of the liquid when heated
-
- decreases
- increases
- does not change
- may increase of decrease depending on pressure
- decreases
Correct Option: A
The mass density of a material varies with temperature and pressure. Increasing the temperature of a substance (with some exceptions) decreases its density by increasing the volume of that substance. In most materials, heating the bottom of a fluid results in convection of the heat from bottom to top of the fluid due to the decrease of the density of the heated fluid.
