Question

Define coefficient of real expansion and coefficient of apparent expansion of liquid. Establish the relation between them.

Answer 1

Coefficient of real expansion and coefficient of apparent expansion of liquid can be defined and established as:

•Coefficient of real expansion is defined as the ratio of real change in volume to its original volume per 1 degree rise in temperature.

•Coefficient of apparent expansion of liquid is defined as the ratio of apparent change in volume of the liquid to the original volume per 1 degree rise in temperature.
