Expansion of Liquid Apparatus
Expansion of Liquid Apparatus is a laboratory device designed to measure the volumetric expansion of liquids when subjected to temperature changes. It consists of a graduated glass tube connected to a bulb containing the test liquid. As the liquid heats and expands, the change in volume is observed and recorded through the graduated scale. This apparatus is essential in physical chemistry and materials science for studying thermal expansion coefficients and understanding liquid behavior under varying thermal conditions. It is commonly made from chemically resistant borosilicate glass to withstand thermal stress and chemical exposure.
