10-1.Thermometry, Thermal Expansion and Calorimetry
easy
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)
$\rho_2=\rho_1(1-\gamma \Delta T)$
$\frac{-\rho_2+\rho_1}{\rho_1}=49 \times 10^{-5} \times 30 \Rightarrow \frac{\Delta \rho}{\rho_1}=1.47 \times 10^{-2}$ $\left[\because \Delta \rho=\rho_1-\rho_2\right]$
