1) What is the coefficient of apparent expansion of a liquid ? What are the factors on which the apparent expansion of a liquid depends ?
2) What is the coefficient of real expansion of a liquid ? What are the factors on which the real expansion of a liquid depends ?
Answers
Answer:
⓵ The coefficient of apparent expansion of a liquid is the ratio of apparent expansion in volume to its original volume for each degree rise in temperature.
The apparent expansion of a liquid depends on the following factors :
- Initial volume of the liquid.
- Increase of temperature.
- Nature of the liquid.
- Substance of the vessel.
⓶ The coefficient of real expansion of a liquid is the ratio of actual expansion in volume to its original volume for each degree rise in temperature.
The real expansion of liquid depends on the following factors :
1. Initial volume of the liquid.
2. Increase in temperature.
3. Nature of the liquid.
1) Coefficient of apparent expansion: It is the apparent increase in the volume of liquid per unit original volume per degree rise in temperature. Its SI unit is "per °C" or "°C-1" or "K-1".
2) The real expansion of a liquid is equal to the sum of its apparent expansion and the volume expansion of the vessel containing the liquid.
