Chapter 2, Problem 2.16P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The change in the density of n -octane and toluene with temperature is to be compared with that of water over the range of $0^{°}\text{C}$ to ${100}^{°}\text{C}$ .

Concept Introduction:

The relationship between density $\left(\rho \right)$ and temperature $\left(T\right)$ of inorganic and organic liquid is given as:

  $\rho =C_1/C_2^{\left(1+{\left(1+T/C_3\right)}^{C_4}\right)}$ …… (1)

For water, this relationship is:

  $\rho =C_1+C_{2}T+C_3{T}^2+C_4{T}^3$ …… (2)

Here, $C_1,C_2,C_3,\text{ and }{C}_4$ are the constants specific for a species.
