To determine

The density of gold sample at 90.0°C if its density is 19.30 g/cm3 at 20°C.

Answer to Problem 32SP

Solution:

19.2 g/cm3

Explanation of Solution

Given data:

The density of a particular sample of gold is 19.30 g/cm3 at 20°C.

The coefficient of linear expansion of gold is 14.3×106 °C1.

Formula used:

Mass of the sample does not change with the temperature, thus it can be written as

mo=mρoVo=ρV

Here, ρ and V are the density and volume of the sample at the temperature T.

But

ρ=ρoVoVρ=ρoVoVo+ΔVρ=ρoVo1+ΔVVo

And

ΔV=VoβΔT

Therefore,

ρ=ρoVo1+βΔT(ρρo)=ρβΔT

Practically, ρρo. Then, write the expression for linear expansion of solids in terms of density:

ρρ0=ρ0β(TT0)

Here, ρ is the density at temperature T, β is the coefficient of linear expansion, ρ0 is the initial density of solid at temperature T0, and T is the final temperature.

Write the expression for coefficient of volumetric expansion in terms of coefficient of linear expansion:

β=3α

Here, β is the coefficient of volumetric expansion and α is the coefficient of linear expansion.

Explanation:

Recall the expression for coefficient of volumetric expansion in terms of coefficient of linear expansion for gold:

β=3α

Substitute 14.3×106 °C1 for α

β=3(14.3×106 °C1)=4.29×105 °C1

Recall the expression for linear expansion of gold in terms of density:

ρρ0=ρ0β(TT0)

Substitute 19.30 g/cm3 for ρ0, 4.29×105 °C1 for β, 90.0°C for T, and 20.0°C for T0

ρ(19.30 g/cm3)=(19.30 g/cm3)(4.29×105 °C1)(90.0°C20.0°C)

Solve for ρ

ρ=(19.30 g/cm3)(19.30 g/cm3)(4.29×105 °C1)(90.0°C20.0°C)=(19.30 g/cm3)(19.30 g/cm3)(4.29×105 °C1)(70.0°C)=(19.30 g/cm3)(0.0579 g/cm3)19.2 g/cm3

Conclusion:

The density of the gold sample at 90.0°C is 19.2 g/cm3.
