The coefficient of volume expansion of glycerin is $49 \times 10^{-5} \,K ^{-1}$. The fractional change in the density on a $30^{\circ} C$ rise in temperature is ..........

A

$1.47 \times 10^{-2}$

B

$1.47 \times 10^{-3}$

C

$1.47 \times 10^{-1}$

D

$1.47 \times 10^{-4}$

Solution

(a)

$\rho_2=\rho_1(1-\gamma \Delta T)$

$\frac{-\rho_2+\rho_1}{\rho_1}=49 \times 10^{-5} \times 30 \Rightarrow \frac{\Delta \rho}{\rho_1}=1.47 \times 10^{-2}$  $\left[\because \Delta \rho=\rho_1-\rho_2\right]$
