For the same rise in temperature, thermal expansion of liquid is about ten times that of a solid of same volume.- Explain. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The expansion of alcohol in a thermometer is one of many commonly encountered examples of thermal expansion, the change in size or volume of a given mass with temperature. Hot air rises because its volume increases, which causes the hot air’s density to be smaller than the density of surrounding air, causing a buoyant (upward) force on the hot air. The same happens in all liquids and gases, driving natural heat transfer upwards in homes, oceans, and weather systems. Solids also undergo thermal expansion. Railroad tracks and bridges, for example, have expansion joints to allow them to freely expand and contract with temperature changes.

What are the basic properties of thermal expansion? First, thermal expansion is clearly related to temperature change. The greater the temperature change, the more a bimetallic strip will bend. Second, it depends on the material. In a thermometer, for example, the expansion of alcohol is much greater than the expansion of the glass containing it.

What is the underlying cause of thermal expansion? As is discussed in Kinetic Theory: Atomic and Molecular Explanation of Pressure and Temperature, an increase in temperature implies an increase in the kinetic energy of the individual atoms. In a solid, unlike in a gas, the atoms or molecules are closely packed together, but their kinetic energy (in the form of small, rapid vibrations) pushes neighboring atoms or molecules apart from each other. This neighbor-to-neighbor pushing results in a slightly greater distance, on average, between neighbors, and adds up to a larger size for the whole body. For most substances under ordinary conditions, there is no preferred direction, and an increase in temperature will increase the solid’s size by a certain fraction in each dimension

Answer 2

Explanation:

I believe more in logic than mathematical proofs .

So going by this , why is liquid more expansible for the same change in temperature than solids .

See , the molecules of liquids have more thermal energy than molecules of solids . When the temperature changes , the molecules of liquid attain more energy and hence tend to expand but at the time , the molecules of solids which are tightly bound need energy to first breakdown the strong bonds . For this reason heat energy gets absorbed in the solids and they show less expansion whereas liquid is able to show more expansion for the same change in temperature or heat energy .

HOPE THIS HELPED AND YOU ARE CLEAR WITH IT NOW .

ALL THE BEST FOR FUTURE ENDEAVOURS .
