Question

If the coefficient of volume expansion of honey is $150 \times 10^{-5} K^{-1}$, then the percentage change in its density for $10^{\circ}C$ rise in its temperature is

• A. 0.5
• B. 1.5
• C. 0.75
• D. 0.15

Hint:

For solids/liquids, $\Delta \rho / \rho \approx -\gamma \Delta T$. The magnitude of percentage change is simply $\gamma \Delta T \times 100$.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B
