Question:

The value of coefficient of volume expansion of glycerin is 5 × 10–4 K–1. The fractional change in the density of glycerin for a rise of 40°C in its temperature is : 

Options:

0.010

0.015

0.020

0.025

Correct Answer:

0.020

Explanation:

\( \frac{\Delta \rho}{\rho} = \gamma \Delta T \)

\( \gamma =  5 × 10^{-4} K^{-1} ; \Delta T = 40°C \)

\( \frac{\Delta \rho}{\rho} = 0.02 \)
