Thermal expansion in solids and liquids
Article No: P2310102
The volume expansion of liquids and the linear expansion of various materials is determined as a function of temperature. Two experiments in one To determine the volume expansion of ethyl acetate (C4H8O2), methylated spirit, olive oil, glycerol and water as a function of temperature, using the pycnometer. To determine the linear expansion of brass, iron, copper, aluminium, duran glass and quartz glass as a function of temperature using a dilatometer. To investigate the relationship between change in length and overall length in the case of aluminium. Linear expansion Volume expansion of liquids Thermal capacity Lattice potential Equilibrium spacing Grüneisen equation
