    The density of a substance at 0°C is 10 g/cc and at 100°C, its density is 9.7 g/cc. The coefficient of linear expansion of the substance is:

    A)  \[{{10}^{-4}}\]        

    B)                        \[{{10}^{-2}}\]                           

    C)           \[{{10}^{-3}}\]                                 

    D)  \[{{10}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    Key Idea: Coefficient of volume expansion is three times the coefficient of linear expansion. The coefficient of volume expansion is given by \[\sqrt{\frac{{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}{{{\mu }_{0}}}}\] where \[\frac{{{\varepsilon }_{0}}}{{{\mu }_{0}}}\] is density, T is temperature. \[{{\varepsilon }_{0}}{{\mu }_{0}}\] \[{{V}_{0}}\] Coefficient of linear expansion is \[{{V}_{e}}\]
