Coefficient of volume expansion of a vessel is greater than the liquid it contains. If the vessel is heated for long time, the level of liquid in the vessel
Answers
ANSWER
Volumetric coefficient of expansion of material is 3a.
As the system is heated liquid started flowing out of box, it means volumetric coefficient of expansion of liquid is greater then of the container.
So, γ>3a.
Answer:
The liquid will expand more and rise above its initial level when heated.
Explanation:
The liquid expands more and rises above its initial level when heated. The transitional condition is invisible to us. The actual liquid expansion is always greater than the apparent liquid expansion. Actually, the volume increase of the flask equals the decrease in liquid level from L1 to L2. The liquids cannot be exposed to flame directly. So, to heat it, we need a beaker or other vessel. When a liquid is heated in a vessel, the vessel will expand along with the water. Now, if we take note of the volume change compared to beaker readings, the reading will be lower than the actual enlarged volume of the liquid. As a result of the liquid, the vessel expands. Therefore, the apparent expansion coefficient will be less than the actual expansion coefficient.
Thus, the liquid will expand from its initial level if the vessel is heated for a long time.
