(1/V) (∂V/∂T)P is the mathematical expression__________________?

Correct answer: C. co-efficient of thermal expansion

  • A. Joule-Thomson co-efficient
  • B. Specific heat at constant pressure (Cp)
  • C. co-efficient of thermal expansion
  • D. Specific heat at constant volume (CV)

Explanation

The volumetric coefficient of thermal expansion is defined as α = (1/V)(∂V/∂T)P. It measures the fractional change in volume per unit temperature rise at constant pressure.
