1 L of water at 20°C will occupy what volume at 80°C? Water has a volume expansion coefficient of 210 × 10^-⁶/C°.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The volume expansion can be calculated using the formula: V = V₀(1 + βΔT), where V₀ is the initial volume, β is the volume expansion coefficient, and ΔT is the change in temperature. For water, V₀ = 1 L, β = 210 × 10⁻⁶/C°, and ΔT = 80°C - 20°C = 60°C. Thus, V = 1(1 + 210 × 10⁻⁶ × 60) = 1.0126 L, which is approximately 1.013 L.
