Will the pH of water be same at 4^(@)C and 25^(@)C ? Explain.

Most substances contract on freezing . However, water does not belong to this category. We know that water expands on freezing. Further , coefficient of volume expansion of water in the temperature range from 0^(@)C to 4^(@)C is negative and above 4^(@)C it is positive . This behaviour of water shapes the freezing of lakes as the atmospheric temperature goes down and it is still above 4^(@)C . If the atmospheric temperature is below 0^(@)C and ice begins to form at t = 0 , thickness of ice sheet formed up to a time 't' will be directly proprotional to
