Question 16

100 ml of each of the following liquids is heated from 10°C to 50°C. Which will expand more:

(a) water

(b) benzene

(c) alcohol?

Answer

Benzene will expand more than alcohol and water because expansion of a liquid depends upon the nature of liquid since volume and temperature are same. Coefficient of cubical expansion of benzene is more than alcohol and water. So it expands the most.
