Question

How can you say the expansion of gases is very large as compared to the solids or the liquids?

Answer 1

Experiment to prove expansion in gases is very large as compared to solids or liquids.

1. Take a clean empty bottle and fill it with hydrogen gas.
2. Fix a deflated rubber balloon over the mouth of the bottle.
3. Place the bottle in a trough of hot water for a few minutes.

Observations

1. After a few minutes, we can observe that the balloon gets inflated.
2. Hence we can conclude that the expansion in gases is very large as compared to solids or liquids.
