(i) Define the apparent coefficient of cubical expansion of a liquid contained in a solid vessel.
(ii) Define the real coefficient of cubical expansion of a liquid.
(iii) State the relation connecting the apparent coefficient of the liquid, its real coefficient and the coefficient of cubical expansion of the material of the vessel.
(iv) Why is the apparent coefficient of expansion of water between 0∘C and 4∘C negative? Explain briefly.
