Question

Consider the following statements:

$\text{A}:$ For a given rise in temperature, a liquid would expand more than a gas.

$\text{B}:$ The coefficient of cubical expansion of a liquid is independent of the temperature of the liquid.

• A. Both $\text{A}$ and $\text{B}$ are true.
• B. Both $\text{A}$ and $\text{B}$ are false.
• C. $\text{A}$ is true, but $\text{B}$ is false.
• D. $\text{B}$ is true, but $\text{A}$ is false.

Answer 1

The correct option is D $\text{B}$ is true, but $\text{A}$ is false.

• Gases expand more than liquids for the same rise in temperature, because gases have more interatomic spaces.


• The coefficient of cubical expansion of liquids is always independent of the liquid's temperature.

So, the statement $\text{B}$ is true, but the statement $\text{A}$ is false.
