Question

Assuming all have the same initial volume, compare the followingsubstances by the amount of volume expansion due to an increase intemperature: glass, mercury, aluminum, ethyl alcohol. (Select allthat apply.)
1 Glass would have the smallestexpansion.
Glass would have the largestexpansion.
Ethyl alcohol would have the largestexpansion.
Ethyl alcohol would have the smallestexpansion.
Aluminum would have the largestexpansion.
Aluminum would have the smallestexpansion.
Mercury would have the smallestexpansion.
Mercury would have the largestexpansion. 1

Explanation / Answer

Coeeficient volume expansion of glass = 25.5 * 10 ^ -6/oC                                   mercury = 182 * 10 ^ -6 /oC                                   aluminum = 69* 10 ^ -6/oC                              ethyl alcohol = 750* 10 ^ -6 / oC So, glass would have the smallest expansion       Ethyl alcohol would have the largestexpansion
