Properties Of Solids And Liquids Question 562

Question: The coefficient of apparent expansion of a liquid in a copper vessel is C and in a silver vessel S. The coefficient of volume expansion of copper is γC . What is the coefficient of linear expansion of silver?

Options:

A) (C+γC+S)/3

B) (CγC+S)/3

C) (C+γCS)/3

D) (CγCS)/3

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

Apparent coefficient of volume expansion for liquid γapp=γLγs

γL=γapp+γs

where γs is coefficient of volume expansion for solid vessel.

When liquid is placed in copper vessel, then

γL=C+γcopper …(i)

[as γapp for liquid in copper vessel = C]

When liquid is placed in silver vessel, then

γL=S+γsilver

[as γapp for liquid in silver vessel = S]

From (i) and (ii), we get

C+γcopper=S+γsilver

γsilver=C+γcopperS

Coefficient of volume expansion =3× Coefficient of linear expansion

αsilver=γsilver3=C+γcopperS3
