ssm A copper kettle contains water at $24^{\circ} {C}$ . When the water is heated to its boiling point of $100.0^{\circ} {C},$ the volume of the kettle expands by $1.2 \times 10^{-5} {m}^{3} .$ Determine the volume of the kettle at $24^{\circ} {C} .$

Key Concepts

Volumetric Expansion Coefficient

The volumetric expansion coefficient is a material-specific constant that quantifies the fractional change in volume per unit change in temperature. It is used in the formula ?V = ?V??T, where ?V is the change in volume, ? is the volumetric expansion coefficient, V? is the original volume, and ?T is the temperature change.

Thermal Expansion

Thermal expansion refers to the phenomenon where a material changes its dimensions—such as length, area, or volume—when its temperature changes. This is due to the increased kinetic energy of the particles in the material, which pushes them apart as the temperature increases.

Temperature Change and its Impact on Volume

The temperature change experienced by a material plays a crucial role in its expansion. In problems involving thermal expansion, the difference between the final and initial temperature (?T) determines the extent of expansion when multiplied by the material's volumetric expansion coefficient and the original volume.
