Answer:
Therefore final temperature = 85.89 °C
Explanation:
Coefficient of volume expansion: This is defined as an increase in volume, per unit volume per degree rise in temperature. The SI unit is 1/k. mathematically,
γ = ΔV/(V₁ΔT)......................... equation 1
Making ΔT the subject of formula in equation 1
ΔT = ΔV/(V₁γ)......................... equation 2
Where γ = coefficient of volume expansion, ΔV = increase in volume, ΔT = change in temperature, V₁ = Initial volume.
Where γ = 1.15 × 10⁻³ C⁻¹, V₁ = X ΔV = 0.00507X
Substituting this values into equation 2,
ΔT = 0.00507X/(X × 1.15 × 10⁻³ )
ΔT = 0.00507/0.00115
ΔT = 4.41 °C.
For contraction,
ΔT = T₁ - T₂
∴ T₂ = T₁ - ΔT
Where T₁ = 90.3 °C
T₂ = 90.3 - 4.41 = 85.89 °C
T₂ = 85.89 °C
Therefore final temperature = 85.89 °C
