Question
The density of a substance at 20C and 120C are 1.1g c.c1 and 1 g c.c1 respecttively. Find the coefficient of cubical expansion of the solid.
Options:
A .  0.001∘C−1
B .  0.002∘C−1
C .  0.003∘C−1
D .  0.004∘C−1
Answer: Option A
:
A
Given: Initial density, d1=1.1gc.c1
Final density, d2=1gc.c1
Initial tempereature, t1=20C
Final temperature, t2=120C
Volumetric expansion of solids can be expressed as,
V2=V1(1+γ(t2t1))
where, V1 is the initial volume, V2 is the final volume, t1 is the initial temperature, t2 is the final temperature and γ is the coefficient of cubical expansion of solid.
We know volume=massdensity
Let d1 be the density at volume V1 and d2 be the density at volume V2
Since mass of the substance, m remains same, we have,
or, md2=md1(1+γ(t2t1))
or,γ=d1d2d2(t2t1)
or,γ=1.111(12020)=0.1100=0.001
γ=0.001C1
