What is the value of coefficient of volume expansion for an ideal gas?(a) (ΔV/V)/Δ T(b) 2*coefficient of linear expansion(c) 1/3 * coefficient of linear expansion(d) (V/ΔV)/ Δ TThis question was addressed to me in a job interview.My question comes from Thermal Expansion topic in chapter Thermal Properties of Matter of Physics – Class 11

Answer» CORRECT answer is (a) (ΔV/V)/Δ T

Easy explanation: ΔV/V = α*ΔT⇒ α = (ΔV/V)/ΔT.Note that the coefficient of volume expansion is 3 TIMES the coefficient of LINEAR expansion.
