4A20.00Liquid Expansion
4A20.10Torchelli tubePIRA 500
4A20.10Torricelli tube4A20.10Immerse a Torchelli tube filled with red water in a boiling water bath. The fluid will drop before rising.
4A20.10expansion of a tube by heatingHa-9A flask with a long slender neck is filled with colored water and immersed in a hot water bath.
4A20.10thermal expansion of waterDisc 14-13Fill a round bottomed flask with water, stick a slender tube in the neck, and heat with a burner.
4A20.11Torricelli tubeH-32A small bulb with a capillary full of mercury is immersed in a bath of hot water. The meniscus falls, then rises.
4A20.12Torricelli tube25-2.1A thermometer inserted in hot water shows a drop in temperature as the glass expands before the liquid warms.
4A20.13water thermometerH-2a.7A bulb with a small bore tube.
4A20.20expansion of fluidsHa-12A manometer is surrounded on one side with ice water and on the other by steam.
4A20.25test tube setH-27A number of test tubes filled with various liquids are immersed in a hot water bath. Expansion is magnified by small bore tubes.
4A20.30maximum density of waterPIRA 1000
4A20.30maximum density of waterH-28A flask with a narrow stem shows volume changes and a thermocouple shows temperature changes when water is allowed to warm from 0 C.
4A20.30maximum density of waterH-29Refinements to H-28. Use a 100 ml quartz flask and 1 mm bore capillary tube for a meniscus drop of 5 to 6 mm.
4A20.30negative expansion coefficient of waDisc 14-14Immerse a water thermometer in an ice bath
4A20.35water at 4 CHa-13Water at the bottom of a cylinder remains at 4 C when surrounded by ice at the middle.
4A20.35maxium density of waterH-31The familiar Hope apparatus. A tall cylinder of water with a collar of salt/ice around the middle will freeze at the top and remain at 4 C at the bottom.
4A20.35maximum density of waterH-30In a jar of water 35 cm high with 15 cm of ice floating on top, the temperature at the bottom does not fall below 4 C.
4A20.40coefficient of expansion of oilTPT 2(7),338A hydrometer is used to measure the density of olive oil as it cools.
