A cube made of metal has a side length of 10 cm at a temperature of 20°C. Given that the coefficient of volume expansion for the metal is β = 5 x 10-5 per°C, what will be the change in the cube's volume when the temperature rises to 30°C?

Detailed Solution for GATE Chemical Engineering Mock Test - 2 - Question 6

The formula for the change in volume ΔV\Delta VΔV due to thermal expansion is given by:
ΔV = V0βΔT
Where:
V0​ is the initial volume,
β is the coefficient of volume expansion,
ΔT is the change in temperature.
First, calculate the initial volume V0​ of the cube: V0​ = edge3 =  (10 cm)3 = 1000 cm3
Now, substitute the values into the expansion formula:
ΔV = 1000 cm3 x 5 x 10-5 per°C x (30°C - 20°C)
ΔV = 1000 x 5 x 10-5 x 10 = 0.15 cm3
