Final answer:

The student's question regards finding the final temperature of a liquid using its coefficient of volume expansion, but there is insufficient information provided to complete the calculation. Understanding Charles's law and its relation between volume and temperature is pivotal to solving this problem, should more details be available.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking about the final temperature of a liquid, given its coefficient of volume expansion and an initial temperature. Given that the initial volume, initial temperature, and final volume are known, we can apply Charles's law to find the final temperature.

However, the problem presented doesn't contain enough information to determine the final temperature since the change in volume or final volume was not provided. We can discuss how Charles's law relates volume and temperature, and we can explain the formula V1/T1 = V2/T2 (where V1 and T1 are the initial volume and temperature, and V2 and T2 are the final volume and temperature in Kelvins, respectively). Without additional information about the volume change or the final volume, we cannot calculate the final temperature of the liquid. If the student can provide additional details, the calculation can proceed using the stated law.

Final answer:

The final temperature of the liquid cannot be calculated without additional information such as initial volume, initial temperature, and final volume. The coefficient of volume expansion alone is not sufficient to determine the final temperature.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the final temperature of the liquid using the coefficient of volume expansion, we need a complete problem statement that includes the initial volume, initial temperature, and final volume of the liquid, or some other relevant data that relates to volume and temperature change. As the question stands, it is not possible to provide the final temperature without this additional information. In general, the coefficient of volume expansion (ß) is used to determine how much a liquid's volume will change with temperature. The formula involves the initial volume (V1), the change in temperature (ΔT), and the coefficient of volume expansion (ß), as given by the equation ΔV = ß * V1 * ΔT, where ΔV is the change in volume.

The coefficient of volume expansion, ß, tells us the volume change per unit volume per degree Celsius temperature change. Without the other variables, we cannot apply Charles's law or any thermal expansion equation correctly. If more details were provided, we could apply the necessary calculations to find the final temperature after a given amount of thermal expansion.
