Question 1

(a) Define the apparent cubic expansivity of a liquid

(b)(i) Describe with the aid of a labelled diagram, an experiment to determine the apparent cubic expansivity of a liquid.

(ii) State two precuations that should be taken to ensure accurate results.

(c) A density glass bottle contains 44.25g of a liquid at 0°C and 42.02g at 50°C. Calculate the real cubic expansivity of the liquid. (Linear expansivity of glass = 1.0 x 10-5K\(^{-1}\))
