A quartz sphere is 14.0 cm in diameter. What will be its change in volume if its temperature is increased by 305°F? The coefficient of volume expansion of quartz is 1.50×10^6/°C. Answer in cm^3 .

Respuesta :

Answer:

  0.365 cm³

Explanation:

The change in volume is found by multiplying the coefficient of expansion by the volume and the temperature change. The temperature change is in °F, but the expansion coefficient is per °C, so we need to convert the temperature scale in the computation.

  ΔV = V·Ce·ΔT

  = (π/6·d³)(1.5×10⁻⁶/°C)((5 °C)/(9 °F))(305 °F)

  = (1436.76 cm³)(1.5×10⁻⁶/°C)(169.44 °C)

  = 0.365 cm³ . . . . increase in volume
