(1/V) (∂V/∂T)P is the mathematical expression__________________?
Correct answer: A. co-efficient of thermal expansion
- A. co-efficient of thermal expansion
- B. Specific heat at constant pressure (Cp)
- C. Joule-Thomson co-efficient
- 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.
