Give one example for solid, liquid and gaseous for expansion with increase in temperature and compression with decreases in temperature.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

For Solids : Sometimes sealed bottles with metallic lids are so tightly screwed that one has to put the lid in hot water for sometime to open the lid. This would aloow the metallic cover to expand, thereby loosening it to unscrew easily.
For Liquids : Mercury in a thermometer rises, when the thermometer is put in a slightly warm water. If we take out the thermometer from the warm water the level of mercury falls again.
For Gases : A balloon partially inflated in a cool room may expand to full size when placed in warm water. On the other hand, a fully inflated ballon when immersed in cold water would start shrinking due to contraction of the air inside.
