3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is thermal expansion?
Relate it to temperature change.
Name one liquid used in thermometers?
Think of common thermometer materials.
What causes the liquid in a thermometer to rise?
Focus on the relationship between temperature and liquid behavior.
True or False: Alcohol freezes more easily than mercury.
Think about their freezing points.
If the temperature of mercury in a thermometer rises from 10°C to 40°C, calculating the rise in volume should be done with a coefficient of expansion of 0.000018°C⁻¹. What volume change occurs for 2 mL of mercury?
Follow the volumetric expansion formula step carefully.
A thermometer calibrated from 0°C to 100°C has a maximum height of the mercury column at 65 mL. If the temperature increase is 35°C, how much mercury will rise in the tube? Assume the coefficient of thermal expansion is 0.000018°C⁻¹.
Think about applying the change in temperature accurately to the original volume.
