no if u check with books and all its always said that the container expands first which gives decrease in the level of water which is negligible but as the glass tube is narrow we can note a decrease in water level....hi. i disagree with the expansion thingy, because solids expansion isnt actually that noticeable and how can a solid expand before a liquid does? thats against the basic rules it is known that liquids expand more and faster. so i think that the answer should be evaporation caused the loss and one was bigger than the other because surface area for evaporation is too small while the surface area exposed to heat at the bottom is alot bigger. ty
