Question

A liquid has a coefficient of volume expansion of 0.001 K⁻¹. If the temperature of the liquid is raised by 10°C, what is the fractional increase in the volume of the liquid?

Answer 1

A liquid has a coefficient of volume expansion of 0.001 K⁻¹. If the temperature of the liquid is raised by 10°C, what is the fractional increase in the volume of the liquid?

0.1%
1% ✓
10%
100%

Explanation

Fractional increase in volume = coefficient × temperature rise.

= 0.001 × 10 = 0.01, which is 1%.
