188) Water has minimum volume and maximum density at 4o  C or 277 K

189) If an air bubble raises from bottom to surface of a lake then its volume increases

190) The gas thermometers are more sensitive than liquid thermometers because gases expand more than liquids.

192) Triple point of CO₂ is 216.65 K at 3.8mm of Hg

193) Triple point of Iodine is 387 K at 90mm of Hg.

194) Ice at 0o C produces more cooling than water at 0 oC.

195) At boiling point specific heat of water is infinite.

196) Entropy during change of phase may increases or decrease.

197) Specific heat of gas in isothermal process is  Infinity.
