Problem

A liquid has a coefficient of volume expansion 1.2×10−3 K−11.2\times10^{-3}\,\text{K}^{-1}. It is heated from 25 ∘C25\,^{\circ}\text{C} to 55 ∘C55\,^{\circ}\text{C} while its mass remains unchanged. The approximate percentage change in its density is (a) decreases by 10.8%10.8\% (b) increases by 3.6%3.6\% (c) decreases by 3.6%3.6\% (d) decreases by 0.036%0.036\%
