Experimental Set for Studying the Thermal Expansion of Liquids

Educational aid for demonstrating the degree of thermal expansion among different liquids. The apparatus consists of a container with side guides into which a white plate slides, serving as a background and support for five glass tubes mounted on it. Water is poured into the base and heated, while the tubes themselves can be removed and reinserted.

Key features

• Container with side guides providing a stable frame for five glass tubes mounted on a white plate used as background and support
• White plate provides both background and support for the glass tubes
• Base is filled with water and heated to demonstrate liquid expansion under heat
• Five glass tubes are removable and can be reinserted for repeated experiments

Usage and demonstrations

During demonstrations, pour water into the base and apply gentle heat to observe the expansion of liquids inside the tubes. The removable tubes allow students to compare different liquids and observe changes directly.
