A beaker is filled to the 500 mL mark with alcohol. What increase in volume (in mL) does the beaker contain when the temperature changes from 5° C to 30° C? (Neglect the expansion of the beaker, evaporation of alcohol and absorption of water vapor by alcohol.) The volume coefficient of expansion γγ for alcohol = 1.12 x 10-4 K-1

Answer:

"1.4 mL" is the appropriate solution.

Explanation:

According to the question,

  • [tex]v_0=500[/tex]
  • [tex]\alpha =1.12\times 10^{-4}[/tex]
  • [tex]\Delta \epsilon = 25[/tex]

Now,

Increase in volume will be:

⇒ [tex]\Delta V = \alpha\times v_0\times \Delta \epsilon[/tex]

By putting the given values, we get

           [tex]=1.12\times 10^{-4}\times 500\times 25[/tex]

           [tex]=1.12\times 10^{-4}\times 12500[/tex]

           [tex]=1.4 \ mL[/tex]
