If mass-energy equivalence is taken into account, when water is cooled to form ice, the mass of water should
(a) Increase
(b) *** unchanged
(c) decrease
(d) first increase then decrease
Correct Option (a) Increase
Explanation :
According to the mass-energy equivalence, mass and energy remain conserved. So, when water is cooled to form ice, water loses its energy so, change in energy increases the mass of water.
