What temperature change would cause a 1.40% increase in the volume of a quantity of Ethyl alcohol that was initially at 17 °C? (The coefficient of volume expansion of Ethyl alcohol is 1.12×10^−3 oC^−1)
formula for volume expansion
V= V0 ( 1 + beta( Tf- Ti)
del V = betaV0 del T
(1.4/100)Vo = Vo (1.12 * 10^-3) del T
del T = 12.5C
